Description

fuzzy bear paw succulent Cotyledon ladismithiensisIt's easy to see where the common name for this plant comes from. With their fluffy texture and distinctive shape, each leaf of this succulent looks like a tiny, green paw. Silvery green in colour, each leaf grows directly off central stems, with new growth sprouting at the top of each stem. And if you even need another reason to love it, this plant is easygoing and light on care needs. Give it a decent amount of sun and water it every now and again

It's easy to see where the common name for this plant comes from. With their fluffy texture and distinctive shape, each leaf of this succulent looks like a tiny, green paw. Silvery-green in colour, each leaf grows directly off central stems, with new growth sprouting at the top of each stem. And if you even need another reason to love it, this plant is easygoing and light on care needs. Give it a decent amount of sun and water it every now and again (once the soil has dried out) and this cute & fluffy succulent will reward you with more of its adorable foliage.

Scientific Name
Cotyledon tomentosa subsp. ladismithiensis (small cup plant, woolly species, subspecies from Ladismith, South Africa)

Synonyms: Cotyledon ladismithiensis

In the Crassulaceae family, this plant was first published in 1936 as Cotyledon ladismithensis, this was updated following a 1977 paper which found that it is in fact a subspecies of C. tomentosa

Common Name(s)
Bear's Paw, Bear Paw Succulent, Bear Paw Cactus, Fuzzy Cotyledon

Origin
This plant is native to rocky outcrops between the Laingsburg, Ladismith and Muiskraal regions of South Africa

Light
Your Bear Paws will do best with some direct sun. A windowledge facing east, west or south should work well. If you're putting it somewhere very bright, make sure to acclimatise it gradually to avoid sunburn. If it isn't getting enough light it will grow leggy and start to lose its colour.

Water
Let the soil dry out totally between waters, and when you water, make sure it gets a good soak. It's useful to grow in a pot with really good drainage with succulents like this one.

Humidity
Bear Paws prefer low to average indoor humidity. Avoid placing it in overly damp or humid environments to prevent rot.

Soil
Plant in a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Added perlite, grit or sand in these mixes can improve drainage. Repot every 2-3 years to refresh the soil or when the plant outgrows its pot.

Food
Feed every couple of months in the spring-summer growing season. Feeding is less important in winter so you can pause feeding until the spring.

Temperature
Thrives in temperatures between 18-26°C. Protect from frost and temperatures below 5°C, as this plant is not frost-tolerant.

Pet-safe
No, this plant is toxic to pets and small humans.

Sprouts Top Tips
The fuzzy 'bear paw' leaves can trap dust, so gently clean them with a soft brush or by blowing air on them to keep the plant looking its best and ensure it can still access the sunlight.
In ideal conditions, this plant can produce clusters of pink-orange, bell-shaped flowers on long stems during the growing season, adding a vibrant pop of colour.

Really Wanted to Love This Book
Format: Paperback
I grew up in a time where there were very few LBGTQ books and I felt very much an anomaly. I heard great things about this book and wanted to read it. I found the book to be written super simply and not adding much to the conversation. I am glad it exists but it was super simplistic and it really doesn’t add much to the conversations around transitioning. It might be a great book for a kid just starting to figure out who they are. I left this book in a free library in a public space in hopes it gets read by someone who needs the message.

Had me in happy tears🥹
Format: Paperback
Lewis is a really funny person and I love how he discussing the way transitioning can affect multiple people, like parents, friends, and teachers. I also feel very related to by this book despite not having the same experience he did. It’s a testament to his amazing writing that he can so well encapsulate the Transgender Experience, whilst still telling a personal story. Highly recommend.

Recommended it to others!
Format: Paperback
I discovered Lewis through TikTok and even showed a few of his videos to my mom. While I’m a bit younger than Lewis, my mom and I laughed at his videos because they reminded us of my emo teen self. While our journeys in life are hardly similar, and I still identify with my biological sex, I absolutely loved this book and told my therapist friend about it. She made a note to recommend it to some of her young clients going through their own trans journeys. Thank you Lewis for reminding me of my teenage emo escapades and making the world seem not-so-lonely for those struggling with their true selves. It’s needed today more than ever. ♥️

So cute!
Format: Paperback
Funny and so adorable! I love Lewis’s relationship with his mom! It’s so addictive I read the whole book in a single sitting! There is a few strips of nudity as well as a couple suggestive scenes (very brief), so absolutely intended for kids who have/are learning about puberty! And of course, you get what you pay for. If you buy a book written by a trans man telling his story, of course you’re going to have trans representation. Over all, so, so adorable!
