Introducing the variegated bear paw or bear claw succulent, known as the Cotyledon ladismithiensis variegata, a vibrant member of the Cotyledon ladismithiensis family. The Bear paw succulent plant's leaves resemble bear paw pads, with a claw-like shape and fuzzy texture. Variegation, a pattern of different colors on the fragile leaves, further enhances the paw-like appearance. 

This rare evergreen variegated bears paw succulents, with its thick, fleshy leaves that are covered in soft, velvety hairs, gives it a cozy and cuddly appearance. The leaves are typically green with splashes of cream or yellow variegation and a red tooth-like formation on the edge, adding to its charm. Native to South Africa, this slow-growing dense mat-forming plant, can grow up to 12 inches tall. 

The flowers of the variegated bear paw succulent are tubular and bell-shaped on long stalks, during the spring. The flowers can vary in color, ranging from shades of yellow to orange or even red. 

You can propagate the Bear Paw succulent through stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. Simply take a healthy stem or leaf, allow it to callus for a few days, and then place it in well-draining soil. With proper care and the right conditions, these cuttings can grow healthy new plants. 

Additionally, the Variegated Bear Paw is mildly toxic to humans and pets if ingested. 

Watering Needs 

Like other succulents, the Variegated Bear Paw is adapted to survive in arid conditions. When watering, make sure to give your Cotyledon succulents a thorough soak. Water until it starts to drain out from the bottom of the pot. This ensures that the roots are properly hydrated. Avoid overwatering by providing a moderate amount of water. The goal is to moisten the soil without leaving it soggy. Overwatering can cause root rot and other issues. To prevent this, let the soil dry completely between waterings, and if it feels dry, water accordingly. 

In the spring and summer, during the growing season, the Bear's Paw succulent may require more frequent watering due to increased growth. While, in the fall and winter, during the dormant period, the plant's water needs decrease. Adjust your watering schedule accordingly. 

Remember, it's always a good idea to observe your soft succulents and adjust your watering routine based on its specific needs. Factors like pot size, humidity, and temperature can influence watering frequency. With a little practice and attention, you'll find the right balance to keep your Variegated Bear Paw thriving. 

Light Requirements 

When growing indoors, this Bear Paw plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a window that receives bright, filtered sunlight for a good portion of the day. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, especially during the hottest hours, as this can scorch the leaves. If you notice the leaves stretching or becoming leggy, it might be an indication that it needs more light. You can consider using a grow light to supplement the natural light if needed. 

When grown outdoors, the Bear Paw succulent prefers bright, indirect light or partial shade for at least 4-6 hours a day. It can tolerate some direct morning or late afternoon sun, but it's best to protect it from intense midday sunlight, especially in hotter climates. If you live in a region with harsh, scorching summers, providing some shade during the hottest part of the day can help prevent leaf burn and stress. 

Remember, it's essential to acclimate your Bear Paw succulents gradually to outdoor conditions if you plan to transition from indoors. Start by placing it in a shaded spot and gradually exposing it to more sunlight over a few weeks to avoid sunburn. 

If the plant receives too little light, it may become leggy and lose its vibrant colors. On the other hand, excessive direct sunlight can cause leaf burn. Observing your plant's response and adjusting its placement accordingly will help ensure it thrives in bright light in its new home, whether indoors or outdoors. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Bear Paw succulent prefers well-draining soil to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and most likely root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally use our specialized succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your succulent to thrive. 

To keep your Bear Paw healthy and happy, it's a good idea to fertilize it regularly during the growing season in the spring. You can use a balanced (5-10-5), water-soluble NPK fertilizer diluted to half-strength. Apply the fertilizer once a year to provide the plant with essential nutrients. 

However, it's important not to over-fertilize your variegated bear paw, as this can lead to fertilizer burn and damage to the plant. Always err on the side of caution and dilute the fertilizer more than recommended if you're unsure. During the dormant season in fall and winter, you can reduce or stop fertilizing altogether, as the plant's growth slows down. 

Remember, it's always a good idea to monitor your plant's response to fertilization. If you notice any signs of nutrient deficiencies or excesses, such as yellowing or browning leaves, adjust your fertilization routine accordingly. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

When growing indoors, the bear Paw succulent is well-suited where it can thrive in normal room temperatures. Ideally, it prefers temperatures between 65°F to 80°F. It's important to keep the plant away from drafts or extreme temperature fluctuations, as they can stress the plant. So, find a cozy spot in your home where the temperature remains relatively stable. 

When it comes to outdoor cultivation, the Variegated Bear Paw is generally hardy in USDA zones 9 to 11. If you live in one of these zones, you can consider growing them outdoors year-round. Just make sure to provide it with the right conditions and protection from frost, as it is not tolerant of freezing temperatures. 

Additionally, it appreciates a moderate level of humidity, around 50% to 60%. If you live in a region with higher humidity, the plant will generally do well. However, if you're in a drier climate, you can increase humidity by misting the plant's leaves or placing a tray of water nearby. 

Final Thoughts 

Overall, the Variegated Bear Paw (Cotyledon ladismithiensis variegata) is a fascinating cotyledon succulent that captures attention with its bear paw-like leaves and beautiful variegation. It's a real standout in any succulent collection, adding a touch of whimsy and charm. With its fuzzy texture, unique leaf shape, and occasional bell-shaped flowers, this plant is truly a delight to behold. This bear paw succulent requires bright, indirect sunlight and well-draining soil to thrive. To avoid root rot, water sparingly and let the soil dry out entirely in between watering. Additionally, these plants benefit from occasional misting to increase humidity levels. Give it a try and enjoy the beauty and intrigue this unique variegated bear paw brings to your home or garden.

No smells!
Scent: Orange, Size: 30 Count (Pack of 1)
These work really well for us in our camper. Our tank holds around 40 gallons. After dumping the tank I drop one in the toilet and flush for about a minute to add water to the tank. Then. Everytime we use our camper in the summer (2 or 3 times a month) I drop in another tablet in the toilet and do the same thing. This has worked great and we never have had a problem with smell! The box usually lasts me a couple of years. Definitely recommend.

Product great. Delivery not so much.
Scent: Lavender, Size: 30 Count (Pack of 1)
Product works fine. But having it delivered by Amazon in just a brown bag caused the plastic container that holds the product all in the bag. This really need to be shipped in a box. Aleast I can use the product and will have to store it in a Rubber made container.

Our go-to for RV tank maintenance – reliable
Scent: Pine, Size: 10 Count (Pack of 1), Scent: Pine, Size: 10 Count (Pack of 1)
This has become our go-to brand for maintaining the tanks in our 5th wheel camper. We’ve used several products over time, but we keep coming back to this one because it’s dependable and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. The drop-ins are super easy to use—just toss one in and you’re set. We’ve had no issues with unpleasant odors while using these, even during longer trips, which makes a big difference when you’re living in close quarters. We trust this brand and their products, and it’s one of those items we make sure to always have stocked before heading out.

Not the best of scents for an RV Toilet Tank
Scent: Lavender, Size: 30 Count (Pack of 1)
I don't know why I thought the scent of lavender would be great for my black water holding tank, but it's not. I'm sorry to say that I will have to return it. There's 30 Camco toilet 🚽 treatment packets in this container. All you have to do is just drop one of these packets into the toilet and flush it down into the holding tank. I am not saying that this product is not good; I'm saying that I will have to exchange it for a different scent. I won't know until I try a different scent, because I might be allergic to Camco's RV Toilet Treatment Drop-ins. The lavender scent put out such a bad smell, I couldn't breathe all night last night. I had to keep filling up my tank, waiting for awhile, and then dumping it all out. I had to keep doing that till the bad smell went away. So I'm gonna give Camco another chance, and try a different scent, and just go from there. I should have known better than to use a toilet treatment that had a perfume scent. I'm allergic to fragrant's, I have to use fragrance free laundry soap.
