Cotyledon tomentosa Bear’s Paw is a perennial succulent plant in the family of Crassulaceae. The plant is much branched, with green stems, fertile fleshy leaves, decussate, ovoid, green, and densely white short hairs. The leaves have red claw-like teeth at the tips, dichotomous cymes, yellow florets, and flowers from July to September.

This species is native to the Cape Province of South Africa. It prefers a warm, dry, sunny and well-ventilated environment. Too high temperatures in summer will make it dormant. Avoid cold and excessive humidity. Propagation methods include cuttings. This species has beautiful leaf shape and color, delicate and small flowers, and leaves resembling the paws of a bear, which is a peculiar form and very cute, with high ornamental value.

The leaf blade of the bear child is fleshy, spatulate, densely white tomentose, the lower part of the entire margin, the leaf tip with brown teeth, like a small Bear’s Paw, very cute. It’s elegant, unique and beautiful, and can be used as a small indoor potted plant.

 

Care Tips

Light: Likes light, and it can grow vigorously and in a more beautiful condition in a well-lit environment. Except for the strong light in summer, it can be placed in a place with good light and more sunshine in all three seasons. If it is in the shade for a long time, the Bear’s Paw will easily grow and the overall ornamental value will be greatly reduced.

Water: All succulents are drought tolerant and fear water logging, and bear’s paws are no exception. Watering it can be done according to the method of dry and wet, and the soil does not need to be watered if it is not dry. During the growing season, it is usually watered once a week, but in other stages, watering should be strictly controlled because the roots could be damaged by overwatering.

Soil: The soil must be loose, permeable and water-permeable, and the soil should be changed once every year or two to avoid soil caking. You can prepare your own nutritious soil when you maintain it, or you can buy special soil for succulent plants directly.

Potting: It is recommended to use ceramic pots, ceramic pots have a certain degree of permeability, clay pots lose water too fast, plastic pots retain water too strong, and poor permeability.

Temperature: Like a warm environment (high temperature requirements). High temperature in summer and low temperature in winter need to take timely temperature control measures. Summer needs to strengthen ventilation, timely blocking of strong light, the best temperature control at 86°F (30 ℃) or less, winter needs to move to a warm room, temperature control at about 50°F (10 ℃) only, the minimum should not be less than 41°F (5 ℃).

Humidity: Bear’s paw grows well in average household humidity levels when grown indoors. Does not like too much humidity. Normal household humidity is good for this plant.

    Care Instructions

    Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details.

    To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.

    Make sure to leave drought periods between waterings to prevent the plant from water-logging.

      The outer part of puzzle is awesome! The inner...not so much.
      Color: Navy Blue, Color: Navy Blue
      My doggo Josie is a pretty smart dog. She can give you the most pitiful look (like in the pic) where you're giving her most of your lunch. She can hide your socks in another dimension! She can sit, shake and yes when Alexa plays "Turn around" by Bonnie Tyler...she will do it. I like to challenge her with a puzzle. She figured out the outter part of the puzzle within minutes but I was disappointed she couldn't figure out the inner part of the puzzle. Then I figured out why. The inside puzzle is very hard to push around. She gets frustrated that it won't open or move around very well. I let her do the outer puzzle for treats but I no longer put treats in the inner part. I want her to be entertained...not frustrated. I'll keep it for a bit and then pass it on to a dog shelter.

      Great fun
      Color: Navy Blue
      Great fun to watch my dog learn how to get his treats. Slows him down so they last longer. He’s almost ready for level 3.

      Great!
      Color: Pink, Color: Pink
      Perfect for my small poodle mixes (13 lbs and 18 lbs). My dog (the one pictured) was able to solve this fairly quickly, but nonetheless it is amazing that she’s still taking the time to sniff and eat slowly. What I like is that even when she’s done, she goes back and re-sniffs and double checks in case she missed anything. It seems good quality so far and it’s been very easy to both set up and wash! Would definitely purchase again and would definitely recommend!

      Stimulating for Dogs
      Color: Pink
      I use this for my blind and deaf dog. I crumble up small bits of treats and snacks in each compartment for her. I thought this would keep her busy for a while, but she figured it out quickly. The compartments are easy to load, but you need to break up the food or treats into small pieces. If the pieces are too large, they shift during loading and jam the slides. When the slides get jammed, it is hard for my dog to move them around and get to each compartment. She then starts chewing on the slides to get them to move. So far, she hasn't damaged the slides. The ones in the middle spin in a circle, so once she learned that, she breezes through those. She uses her nose to spin them in one direction to get to each compartment. The ones on the outside can be loaded on either side. She learned she has to push or pull those with her nose. It isn't much of a challenge for her, but she loves discovering the treats inside each section. The back has rubber feet, which keep it from sliding too much on the floor. It is well-made and durable. I hand-wash it. It is easy to clean out each section. It is exactly what I was looking for, and the pricing is excellent! I only wish she weren't so good at it and it kept her busy longer.
