  • Cotyledon tomentosa subsp. ladismithiensis, native to South Africa, is also known as Cotyledon Bear Paw or Bear’s Paw. This is a very rare species.

    It is a succulent shrublet up to 12 inches (30 cm) tall. It is densely branched and covered with fine tiny white hairs, giving it a velvety look. The leaves are up to 2 inches (5 cm) long, fleshy, lime-green, with creamy yellow variegation and sometimes reddish tips. These leaves usually have from 1 to 3 apical teeth, resembling the "bear claws".

    Cotyledon Bear's Paw produces clusters of yellow to orange-red bell-shaped flowers in late spring.

    All of the plants may be shipped bare root.

    Worried about plant care? We’ve got you covered! If your plant care goes haywire within 6 months of your order, you can claim a $15 gift card for your plant.
    How it works:
    • For each plant, you can receive a gift card.
    • The more plants you order, the more you can claim, up to a maximum of $50 gift card per order.
    • One-time claim per order.
    • For subscriptions, you can claim once per subscription.
    • Valid for orders from Aug 28, 2024- Dec 31, 2024
    • Email your order number & plant pictures to support@succulentsbox.com to claim your gift card
  • Provide porous soil with adequate drainage, pots with drainage hole are recommended. Bright, filtered light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Never let your succulents sit in water. Do NOT water on the leaves. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour off any excess water after a few minutes. The hotter it is outside, the faster your soil will dry out, so you’ll need to water more often if you live in a hot area. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended periods; protect from frost to prevent scarring.

Bear Paw

The plant I received was amazing. Color was beautiful. I ordered it in a 2in terracotta pot but the plant came wrapped separately from the pot. I assume because there is no way it would have fit in just a 2in pot.

Paws for days

I couldn't be happier with this latest purchase. I have over a dozen succulents now that I have been collecting for a few months and they are all in wonderful condition thriving and beautiful up to and including my new variegated bear paw that arrived only two days ago. So fuzzy and adorable with its little ridges and plump leaves! Right now it still has some dirt from planting stuck to its fine hairs but I am giving it some time to settle in before I try to gently brush or blow it off. Yes - a small air blower does come in handy with succulents! There were actually six small sprouts in this shipment, all with good roots and already taking nicely to soil (also purchased here) so I have even more than I expected! Thanks again Succulents Box!
