Bear's Paw

Bear's Paw is a charming and distinctive succulent, celebrated for its thick, furry, mitten-shaped leaves, each adorned with reddish-brown 'claws' at the tips. The soft, felted texture of the leaves gives it an appealing tactile quality. In spring, it may produce bell-shaped, orange-red flowers on short stalks, contrasting beautifully with the foliage. This compact succulent is well-suited for growing in pots and is an excellent addition to a bright windowsill or conservatory in the UK. It requires well-drained compost and benefits from bright light to maintain its vibrant leaf colour. Water moderately during the growing season and reduce watering in winter. Keep frost-free.
