I purchased 6 “fresh” ocotillo plants delivered late July 2020. As expected, the leaves dropped off. I cared for them as instructed but no new leaves ever developed. Early July 2021 a windstorm blew 2 of them over and there were no roots. The plants were guaranteed to grow so I contacted BK Cacti and a few weeks later on 7/22 they came out and told me they were all dead and would be replaced. I was always the only one to follow up. 1st, their truck engine failed so they were waiting for a replacement from Wisconsin, then the rains came and they couldn’t dig up new plants, then the new engine from Wisconsin failed. On 8/21 they sent a text saying the truck was still broke and all they could work on was ramada panels, so I was surprised when I was copied on a text picture sent to another customer (see below) of a large cactus they had just finished planting. I lost faith after that. I followed up a couple times but got the same problems so, after 2-months of trying I gave up and bought new live ocotillos.
