Blissful Resources Bear Paw Succulent

As a drought-tolerant plant, the Bear Paw prefers to dry out completely between waterings. Check the soil every two weeks; if it is bone dry, give it a thorough soak, but be careful not to let it sit in standing water, which can cause root rot.

While it enjoys bright light, it prefers indirect sunlight or partial shade. Harsh, direct afternoon sun can scorch its fuzzy leaves, so a spot near a bright window that doesn't receive intense, direct beams is ideal.

No, Cotyledon tomentosa is considered toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It is best to keep this plant on a high shelf or in a room that your pets cannot access.

The plant ships in a 2-inch pot, which is sufficient for its current size. You do not need to repot it right away, but you may want to move it to a slightly larger container with fresh succulent soil once it begins to outgrow its starter pot.

Brown tips on a Bear Paw succulent are often a sign of overwatering or poor drainage. Ensure your pot has drainage holes and that you are allowing the soil to dry out fully before adding more water.
