Cotyledon tomentosa ‘Variegata’, better known as the Variegated Bear’s Paw Succulent, is a charming and eye-catching succulent loved for its fuzzy, paw-shaped leaves and beautiful cream to pale yellow variegation. The green leaves have lighter markings and tipped with tiny red claws giving the appearance of miniature bear paws. 

This unique variegated form adds even more character to an already popular succulent, making it a favorite to collectors and beginners. Native to South Africa, Bear’s Paw is a slow grower and, when it's mature and happy it grows clusters of orange-red, bell-shaped flowers.

Its compact size makes it perfect for sunny windowsills, succulent arrangements, or as a standout addition to any collection.

Care Tips:

Light: Prefers bright light with several hours of direct or filtered sun. Variegated varieties may benefit from protection during intense afternoon heat.

Water: Water thoroughly, then allow the soil to dry completely before watering again. Bear’s Paw is sensitive to overwatering, so it’s best to err on the dry side.

Soil: Use a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix.

Temperature: Thrives in warm conditions and should be protected from frost.

Growth Note: Variegation can vary from plant to plant. Some leaves may display more cream or pale yellow coloring than others, making each plant uniquely beautiful.

With its fuzzy texture, adorable paw-like leaves, and creamy variegated coloring, the Variegated Bear’s Paw brings personality, texture, and charm to any succulent collection.
