I was never taught much, if anything about plants. I love them so much, bear paws are my favourite. This is incredibly helpful, what may be common sense for others isn’t for some. I appreciate you teaching me about the cuttings and trimmings!! ❤

Glad it was helpful! 😄

Can they do well in normal light ,indirect basically and how fast these beautiful succulents grow within months or years?to determine the pot size Thank you for this lovely 👍 video.

[@SucculentSocial]

They are quite slow growers so this pot that I have for example took years to grow to this size. They will thrive indirect sun but you will not see those promiment red marks on the paws.

Thanks a lot for the advice I also appreciate your time and efforts 🙏.

Thanks Jillian. We do not sell at the moment. We just do sell once in a while, mostly clearance at the end of the year.

Did it ever happen that the leaves became a little sticky? Is it normal? I have one and a few leaves became a bit soft and sticky. Is it because it needs water?

[@SucculentSocial]

Hi there. 😍 I have never experienced mine to be sticky. The leaves do get soft when pinched and looks a bit wrinkly when they need water. They would soon het plump up after watering. For the sticky part, just have a check if there is any pest as they might leave some sap-like matter. Hope that helps. Thanks.

So ignoring them for a month.... so when do you water them?

[@SucculentSocial]

Hi, after a months or so, I will check if they have roots and if they do, I will slowly introduce water. Not frequent but just water when soil is dry.

[@riotsun6716]

[@SucculentSocial]

No! they just wrinkled and dried out! 😞

[@riotsun6716]

Wow! Ok! Thank you for letting me know!
