Which Bear's Paw Is The Best? Cotyledon Tomentosa vs White Variegated vs Yellow Variegated

[@jeanine6492]

Thanks for the Information, I love the white variegated too.

The white one definitely looks the best- i can't get enough of the pink tips! 😍 But it's such a pain to grow 😅😅

I have finally succeeded in growing the normal ones. They r cute but it took me a while to succeed. Recently got both d white and yellow ones and they r not easy to come by. White is acting up and yellow seems to be settling. If u could some day make a vdo on propagation of these i wld appreciate it very much. Thanku so much

[@SucculentGrowingTips]

They can be sooo tricky to grow. I'm pleasantly surprised with the yellow one though- i was expecting a bit of drama but so far so good . The white one i literally tiptoe around- it can be very sensitive to just about everything 😅 Good to hear they're going well for you now too! I'll be propagating them soon & will do a video in a month or so. But basically, the best time is spring and personally, I only do cuttings. I've never had success with leaves but have seen a channel where someone managed to propagate a leaf.

@@SucculentGrowingTips thanku so much for replying. I think i will shrivel up and grow old before any bear paw leaf strikes for me. 😬. I will stick to cuttings. I haven’t really been good at propagation leaves so far frm any succulent.

That makes 2 of us- I've not had luck with Cotyledon leaves either 😅@@swatigokhale9495

I just bought bear’s paw (white) and as soon as they arrived I watered them angry were gone until I repotted them. 60% of their leaves fell. I’m a newby succulent lover. Any idea I can do to stop the leaves from falling? Thanks gif your tips.

[@SucculentGrowingTips]

Oh no, sorry to hear that🥺. It can be a few things and it's a bit difficult to guess without knowing more about where you are, where the plant is kept etc. so i'll just list possible causes. The white bear's paw is not very tolerant of overwatering but watering them once should not have caused that response. It's usually repeated watering often that will make it lose a lot of leaves. Having it indoors in insufficient light can easily cause them to start dropping leaves. These guys like bright light but not a lot of strong sun, though, often indoors is not bright enough even if you get some sunlight. If you have a covered patio or shaded spot outdoors, i'd pop it there but be mindful of the rain. You can also get it plant growing lights if you want to have it inside. Lastly, the plant could have just gotten a bit of a shock from being transported and arriving in a completely different environment. The white paws are quite sensitive little buggers. I really hope it pulls itself together and starts growing soon 💚🤞

@@SucculentGrowingTips Thanks for the tips. I love watching your videos, I live in MD, USA and the paws were shipped from CA. I think I must have watered them too much cause they were still kind of wet when I potted. I think I should have waited for them to be drier before potting. But today I think whatever’s left will survive. They are a little drier today and I’m not going to water them until they are really thirsty. I hope they get fat leaves cause I really like them. They are so cute those paws especially with those red tips. I getting ready to watch the link for leaf propagation you mentioned in one of your videos since I have so many leaves. I hope they will propagate.
