Care Instructions
Caring for a Variegated Bear’s Paw is relatively simple, making it an ideal choice for those new to succulent ownership. Here are some key care tips:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
- Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
- Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix.
- Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C). Protect from frost.
- Potting: Choose a pot with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
