Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Description

Cotyledon tomentosa subsp. ladismithiensis, commonly known as Bear's Paw or Kitten Paws, is a charming and compact succulent from South Africa, perfect for Perth's conditions. Its thick, velvety leaves are uniquely shaped with small "teeth" at the tips, resembling tiny paws, which give it a playful and distinctive appearance. This evergreen plant stays compact, reaching around 30 cm in both height and width, making it ideal for pots, rock gardens, or succulent arrangements. It performs best in bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate full sun in cooler weather, providing versatility for indoor or outdoor placement.

In Early to Late Spring (Djeran - Kambarang), Bear's Paw produces small, tubular orange flowers, adding a vibrant contrast against its green foliage. For optimal growth, plant it in coarse, loose, and well-draining succulent soil. With low water requirements, it is drought-tolerant and thrives when allowed to dry out completely between waterings. Its compact size, soft texture, and seasonal blooms make it an attractive addition to water-wise gardens and sunny indoor spaces.
