The Cotyledon tomentosa, commonly known as Bear's Paw, is a charming succulent that gets its name from its distinctive leaf shape. These leaves are thick, velvety, and have a series of "teeth" along the edges that resemble a bear's claws.
 
Key Features:
Growth Habit: It forms low-growing clumps of succulent stems.
Leaf Characteristics: The leaves are the main attraction, with their fuzzy texture and toothed edges. The color can vary from light green to dark green, often with reddish tips, especially when exposed to bright light.
Flowers: In spring, Bear's Paw produces bell-shaped, orange flowers that emerge from the center of the plant.
 
Care Tips:
Sunlight: Bear's Paw thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, but excessive exposure may scorch the leaves.
Watering: Like most succulents, it is drought-tolerant and prefers to be slightly underwatered rather than overwatered. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix to prevent root rot.
Temperature: It is relatively hardy and can tolerate temperatures as low as 40°F (4°C).
