Madagascar Ocotillo is a tall upright succulent with silver spines and small round green leaves. The narrow stems reach upward and curve snake-like, giving the plant an unusually attractive architectural appearance. Deciduous in winter, this unique plant is threatened in its natural habitat. It grows well in hot climates and large established plants may withstand temperatures as low as 20F. Smaller plants may be damaged below 25F but can easily be grown in pots and moved to protected areas in cold weather. Plant in well drained soil and refrain from watering during periods of dormancy.
