Taking care of this plant is relatively easy, and it can thrive both indoors and outdoors in the right conditions. Here are some guidelines on how to care for variegated Bear’s Paw: 1. Light: – Provide bright, indirect sunlight for your variegated Bear’s Paw. While it can tolerate some direct sunlight, it’s best to avoid harsh afternoon sun to prevent scorching of the leaves. A sunny windowsill with filtered light or a spot with bright, indirect sunlight is ideal. 2. Temperature: – Keep your variegated Bear’s Paw in a warm environment. They thrive in temperatures between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C). Protect the plant from frost and cold temperatures, as they are sensitive to cold. 3. Soil: – Use well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. You can also add some perlite or sand to improve drainage. The soil should allow excess water to flow away from the roots to prevent overwatering. 4. Watering: – Water your Bear’s Paw sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Typically, you’ll water the plant once every 2-3 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) and even less often during the dormant season (fall and winter). Overwatering can lead to root rot, which is a common issue with succulents. 5. Humidity: – Bear’s Paw plants are adapted to low-humidity environments. They do not require high humidity levels. In fact, it’s essential to maintain good airflow around the plant to prevent moisture-related problems. 6. Container: – Choose a pot with drainage holes to prevent water from pooling at the bottom. Make sure the pot is not too large for the plant; a slightly snug fit is better for succulents. 7. Fertilizing: – Feed your variegated Bear’s Paw with a diluted, balanced, liquid succulent fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) every 4-6 weeks. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive growth with reduced variegation. 8. Pruning: – Trim or pinch back the plant as needed to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Pruning can also help control the size if it’s getting too large for its space. 9. Pests and Diseases: – Inspect your plant regularly for signs of common succulent pests such as mealybugs and aphids. If you notice any pests, treat the plant promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases. 10. Repotting: – Repot your variegated Bear’s Paw when it outgrows its container or when you notice poor growth due to depleted soil. Typically, repot every 2-3 years in the spring. By following these care guidelines, you can enjoy a healthy and attractive variegated Bear’s Paw succulent in your home or garden. Remember that every plant has its unique needs, so monitor your plant’s specific requirements and adapt your care accordingly. ———————————————- SHIPPING: Plants are wrapped to avoid breakage during shipping but please keep in mind that soil may shift during transit.
