How to fertilize White Ocotillo
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your White Ocotillo after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Love this cute new one. Arrived today. Put it outside in the sun and planning where to give it a more permanent home in the ground #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Fouquieria #WhatTheSuccWednesday

I bought this ocotillo from a nursery a few weeks ago. Repotted into a large terra cotta pot. It used to have many green leaves but they all seem to be falling off. It’s in full sun, I water until it drains once every 10-14 days. Is it just going through growing pains since I repotted after nursery? Thanks!
