Bear's Paw (Cotyledon tomentosa ssp. tomentosa) (Harvey): A small shrublet with thick, wedge-like leaves and a velvety coating. Its fuzzy leaves have a toothed edge highlighted in dark red and truly resemble a bear's paw. They need ample sunlight, good drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
