Cotyledon Tomentosa, also known as Bear's Paw, is a low-growing succulent shrub native to South Africa. It has fuzzy, green leaves and, when exposed to strong sunlight, the tips of the leaves will turn red, resembling a baby animal paw pad with claws. This succulent is fairly easy to cultivate and prefers porous soil. To prevent leaf-drop, it should be grown in partial sun and only watered sparingly.
