  •   Cotyledon Tomentosa Bear Paw is a rare, easy-care succulent native to South Africa, where it grows in rocky, arid landscapes with excellent drainage and plenty of sun. This charming bear paw succulent belongs to the Crassulaceae family and has earned a devoted following among collectors worldwide for its unmistakable look and easygoing nature.

      The leaves of Cotyledon Tomentosa Bear Paw are what stop people in their tracks: plump, velvety, and bright green, each one tipped with deep red to burgundy "claws" that look exactly like a tiny bear's paw. The dense white fuzz coating every leaf gives the woolly cotyledon its soft, tactile appeal, while the upright, clumping growth habit keeps the plant tidy and full as it matures.

      When Cotyledon Tomentosa Bear Paw is given a drop in nighttime temperatures, it may reward you with tall, arching flower stalks topped with tubular orange-red blooms, typically appearing in spring. The blooms are striking against the fuzzy green foliage and are a genuine treat for anyone lucky enough to trigger a flowering cycle.

      Cotyledon Tomentosa Bear Paw is a wonderful choice for bright windowsills, sunny shelves, and patio displays in summer, where it clusters beautifully into a fuller, showier plant over time. Move it outdoors once warm weather settles in, but keep it covered from rain and sheltered when autumn arrives. Because the sap can cause skin and paw irritation, cats and dogs shouldn't be left to nibble or eat the plant, and it is best placed away from small children, ideally on a high shelf well out of reach. The good news for travelers: this drought-tolerant gem easily survives a 10-day trip on its own with no watering.

  •   Cotyledon Tomentosa Bear Paw thrives in bright indirect light to partial or full sun, though it can scorch in intense south-facing windows.

      Water Cotyledon Tomentosa Bear Paw deeply every 10 to 14 days in summer, pulling back to once a month or less in winter.

      Cotyledon Tomentosa Bear Paw needs a fast-draining cactus and succulent mix blended with extra perlite for best root health.

      Cotyledon Tomentosa Bear Paw prefers temperatures between 65 and 80°F (18 to 27°C) and should be protected from frost below 25°F (-4°C).

      Cotyledon Tomentosa Bear Paw is a slow to moderate grower that benefits from a light, balanced succulent feed once in spring and once in summer.

      Cotyledon Tomentosa Bear Paw is hardy in USDA Zones 9 through 11, tolerating brief dips to around 25°F (-4°C) before needing frost protection. Outdoor growers in California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Hawaii, Nevada, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi will find conditions naturally suited to this bear paw succulent. Gardeners along the Oregon coast and in parts of New Mexico and coastal North Carolina can often grow Cotyledon Tomentosa Bear Paw outdoors as well, while everyone in cooler zones can enjoy it as a thriving indoor or patio plant brought in before first frost.
  • Q: How often should I water Cotyledon Tomentosa Bear Paw?
    A: Water every 10 to 14 days during the growing season and cut back to once a month in winter. Always let the soil dry out completely between waterings to prevent rot.

    Q: Is Cotyledon Tomentosa Bear Paw safe for pets and children?
    A: Cats and dogs shouldn't be left to nibble or eat Cotyledon Tomentosa Bear Paw, and the sap can cause skin or paw irritation. Keep it on a high shelf out of reach of both pets and small children.

    Q: How much light does Cotyledon Tomentosa Bear Paw need?

    Q: Can Cotyledon Tomentosa Bear Paw go outside in summer?
    A: Yes, Cotyledon Tomentosa Bear Paw loves a summer stint outdoors in a bright, sheltered spot. Just keep it covered from rain and bring it back inside before nighttime temperatures drop too low in autumn.

    Q: How big does Cotyledon Tomentosa Bear Paw get?
    A: Cotyledon Tomentosa Bear Paw typically reaches 12 to 18 inches tall and wide at maturity, growing in an upright, clumping form. Its slow to moderate growth rate makes it a long-lasting, low-maintenance addition to any collection.

    🌵 For Succulents
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
    Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
