Cotyledon Tomentosa

Cotyledon tomentosa (Bare Rooted), popularly known as the Bear’s Paw Succulent, is a unique ornamental succulent admired for its plump, velvety leaves that resemble tiny bear paws. The soft green foliage is covered in fine hairs and features distinctive reddish “claws” along the leaf tips, becoming even more vibrant in bright sunlight.

This slow-growing succulent is perfect for decorative pots, succulent arrangements, fairy gardens, windowsills, balconies, and rock gardens. Its compact growth and minimal care requirements make it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced succulent enthusiasts. Under ideal conditions, mature plants may produce clusters of attractive orange to yellow bell-shaped flowers.
