An ocotillo brought from Arizona to Minnesota is indoors, green for months. Plan to repot and move to deck. Ocotillos shed leaves in desert heat to conserve water; in cultivation, we alter their cycle. Repot (wait 1 week before watering, mist only), then water gradually as roots establish. Keep leaves initially; water as needed—cacti prefer dry between waterings; weekly schedule may overwater. Winter is the challenge: ocotillos get large. Contact local or American Cactus & Succulent Society for climate-specific advice. An interesting experiment!
