Cotyledon ladismithiensis

Cotyledon ladismithiensis, commonly known as Bear's Paw, is a charming succulent loved for its thick, velvety leaves that resemble tiny bear paws. Each leaf is covered in fine hairs and tipped with distinctive reddish 'claws', giving the plant its wonderfully unusual appearance.

Native to South Africa, Bear's Paw is an easy-care succulent that thrives in bright conditions and requires very little attention. Its compact growth habit makes it perfect for sunny windowsills, desks and smaller spaces, while its quirky foliage makes it an excellent gift for plant lovers.

Under the right conditions, mature plants may produce clusters of orange-red bell-shaped flowers, adding even more character to this unusual succulent.

Light: Bright light to direct sun. A sunny windowsill is ideal.
Water: Allow the compost to dry almost completely between waterings, then water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain away.
Care: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a cactus or succulent fertiliser. Water sparingly during winter.
