Cotyledon tomentosa (Bear's Paw)Bear's Paw (Cotyledon tomentosa ssp. tomentosa) (Harvey): A small shrublet with thick, wedge like leaves and a velvety coating. Its fuzzy leaves have a toothed edge highlighted in dark red and truly resemble a bear's paw. They need ample sunlight, good drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite.
