Plant Care

Light: Provide your 'Variegated Bear Paw' with bright, indirect sunlight. It thrives in full to partial sun. Indoors, place it near a sunny window. Outdoors, ensure it gets some shade during the hottest part of the day to prevent leaf scorch.

Temperature: Maintain a warm to temperate indoor environment. Cotyledon Tomentosa can tolerate mild cold but should be protected from frost and freezing temperatures.

Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water thoroughly but infrequently. In the growing season (spring and summer), water more often, but in the dormant season (fall and winter), reduce watering.

Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix to ensure proper drainage and prevent waterlogged soil. A mix of potting soil, perlite, and sand is suitable.

Pot: Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water accumulation at the root level. Cotyledon Tomentosa prefers slightly crowded conditions and doesn't require frequent repotting.

Fertilization: Feed your plant lightly with a balanced, water-soluble succulent fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can harm the plant.

Pests: Cotyledon Tomentosa is generally pest-resistant, but occasionally, mealybugs or aphids may appear. Inspect your plant regularly and treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
