Introducing the variegated bear paw or bear claw succulent, known as the Cotyledon ladismithiensis variegata, a vibrant member of the Cotyledon ladismithiensis family. The Bear paw succulent plant's leaves resemble bear paw pads, with a claw-like shape and fuzzy texture. Variegation, a pattern of different colors on the fragile leaves, further enhances the paw-like appearance. 

This rare evergreen variegated bears paw succulents, with its thick, fleshy leaves that are covered in soft, velvety hairs, gives it a cozy and cuddly appearance. The leaves are typically green with splashes of cream or yellow variegation and a red tooth-like formation on the edge, adding to its charm. Native to South Africa, this slow-growing dense mat-forming plant, can grow up to 12 inches tall. 

The flowers of the variegated bear paw succulent are tubular and bell-shaped on long stalks, during the spring. The flowers can vary in color, ranging from shades of yellow to orange or even red. 

You can propagate the Bear Paw succulent through stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. Simply take a healthy stem or leaf, allow it to callus for a few days, and then place it in well-draining soil. With proper care and the right conditions, these cuttings can grow healthy new plants. 

Additionally, the Variegated Bear Paw is mildly toxic to humans and pets if ingested. 

Watering Needs 

Like other succulents, the Variegated Bear Paw is adapted to survive in arid conditions. When watering, make sure to give your Cotyledon succulents a thorough soak. Water until it starts to drain out from the bottom of the pot. This ensures that the roots are properly hydrated. Avoid overwatering by providing a moderate amount of water. The goal is to moisten the soil without leaving it soggy. Overwatering can cause root rot and other issues. To prevent this, let the soil dry completely between waterings, and if it feels dry, water accordingly. 

In the spring and summer, during the growing season, the Bear's Paw succulent may require more frequent watering due to increased growth. While, in the fall and winter, during the dormant period, the plant's water needs decrease. Adjust your watering schedule accordingly. 

Remember, it's always a good idea to observe your soft succulents and adjust your watering routine based on its specific needs. Factors like pot size, humidity, and temperature can influence watering frequency. With a little practice and attention, you'll find the right balance to keep your Variegated Bear Paw thriving. 

Light Requirements 

When growing indoors, this Bear Paw plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a window that receives bright, filtered sunlight for a good portion of the day. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, especially during the hottest hours, as this can scorch the leaves. If you notice the leaves stretching or becoming leggy, it might be an indication that it needs more light. You can consider using a grow light to supplement the natural light if needed. 

When grown outdoors, the Bear Paw succulent prefers bright, indirect light or partial shade for at least 4-6 hours a day. It can tolerate some direct morning or late afternoon sun, but it's best to protect it from intense midday sunlight, especially in hotter climates. If you live in a region with harsh, scorching summers, providing some shade during the hottest part of the day can help prevent leaf burn and stress. 

Remember, it's essential to acclimate your Bear Paw succulents gradually to outdoor conditions if you plan to transition from indoors. Start by placing it in a shaded spot and gradually exposing it to more sunlight over a few weeks to avoid sunburn. 

If the plant receives too little light, it may become leggy and lose its vibrant colors. On the other hand, excessive direct sunlight can cause leaf burn. Observing your plant's response and adjusting its placement accordingly will help ensure it thrives in bright light in its new home, whether indoors or outdoors. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Bear Paw succulent prefers well-draining soil to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and most likely root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally use our specialized succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your succulent to thrive. 

To keep your Bear Paw healthy and happy, it's a good idea to fertilize it regularly during the growing season in the spring. You can use a balanced (5-10-5), water-soluble NPK fertilizer diluted to half-strength. Apply the fertilizer once a year to provide the plant with essential nutrients. 

However, it's important not to over-fertilize your variegated bear paw, as this can lead to fertilizer burn and damage to the plant. Always err on the side of caution and dilute the fertilizer more than recommended if you're unsure. During the dormant season in fall and winter, you can reduce or stop fertilizing altogether, as the plant's growth slows down. 

Remember, it's always a good idea to monitor your plant's response to fertilization. If you notice any signs of nutrient deficiencies or excesses, such as yellowing or browning leaves, adjust your fertilization routine accordingly. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

When growing indoors, the bear Paw succulent is well-suited where it can thrive in normal room temperatures. Ideally, it prefers temperatures between 65°F to 80°F. It's important to keep the plant away from drafts or extreme temperature fluctuations, as they can stress the plant. So, find a cozy spot in your home where the temperature remains relatively stable. 

When it comes to outdoor cultivation, the Variegated Bear Paw is generally hardy in USDA zones 9 to 11. If you live in one of these zones, you can consider growing them outdoors year-round. Just make sure to provide it with the right conditions and protection from frost, as it is not tolerant of freezing temperatures. 

Additionally, it appreciates a moderate level of humidity, around 50% to 60%. If you live in a region with higher humidity, the plant will generally do well. However, if you're in a drier climate, you can increase humidity by misting the plant's leaves or placing a tray of water nearby. 

Final Thoughts 

Overall, the Variegated Bear Paw (Cotyledon ladismithiensis variegata) is a fascinating cotyledon succulent that captures attention with its bear paw-like leaves and beautiful variegation. It's a real standout in any succulent collection, adding a touch of whimsy and charm. With its fuzzy texture, unique leaf shape, and occasional bell-shaped flowers, this plant is truly a delight to behold. This bear paw succulent requires bright, indirect sunlight and well-draining soil to thrive. To avoid root rot, water sparingly and let the soil dry out entirely in between watering. Additionally, these plants benefit from occasional misting to increase humidity levels. Give it a try and enjoy the beauty and intrigue this unique variegated bear paw brings to your home or garden.

Helped to improve combustion in 12 year old Mercruiser 3.0L engine
Color: Blue, Number of Items: 1
I used the whole bottle in 1/2 tank of questionable gasoline from used boat from dealership, with no idea what mixture of gas water and particulates was in the gas tank in this 12 year old boat. The dealer started up the boat, and it was taking a minute to get the idle going. He mentioned that the gas was a few months old, but I am guessing that is was more like 6 months old. This is the TKS engine, self priming. I think some water / condensate was in the tank. Before taking out to first trip, I added bottle and 5 gallons fresh gas. That trip to the lake, I still has some issues getting it to start easily. Ran OK, not great that day, went home, changed cap and rotor and wires. Next trip, 1 week later, the 3.0L started great, ran great, I am not sure if it took some hours to fully mix and interact with the old gas, neutralize the water, and perform it's reactions, before it made existing gas more combustible, but that is what it seemed like to me. ***UPDATE**** - I had strange fuel issues the next season after using this product. I had to replace the fuel pump and many other fuel delivery components including the carburetor. Not sure if this contributed to the fuel system failing, the long term effects outweigh the short term gains.

Works. . .
Color: Blue, Number of Items: 1
Left 10% ethanol gas in my 3500 watt inverter and forgot about it. After I got it started, it was suging and alsmost unusable even with fresh gas. Drained all the gas and used a measuring cup to get the fuel/additive ratio right and let the generator run wiuth a 1000 watt work light. AFter about 15 minutes, the surging stopped and engine smoothed out. Happened faster than I expected. Taught me a lesson about gas decomposition. Promised the genny I learned a lesson to use stabilizer. Easier than doing a carb rebuild.

Tried as a last resort... It worked!
Color: Blue, Number of Items: 1
My 3.0 MerCruiser stern drive was hard starting and would not hold at idle and ran really rough under load. I put 2 cans of S*Foam Marine through the tank and replaced the fuel filter and the spark plugs. With only a slight improvement I decided to bring it to my dealer. They replaced the distributer cap, rotor and plug wires and sent me on my way. The idle was good, but under load (headway speed) it ran really rough. Brought it back and they swapped out the carburetor and lake tested it. Back at home it ran great for a one-hour ride. A week later I tried to start it and the idle was bad again (engine shaking, erratic RPM). Almost dragged it back to the dealer but thought I would try this first. Per instructions I added this to about 15 gallons already in the boat and then topped it off with 5 gallons of fresh gas. Let it idle at about 1500 RPMs for 15 minutes and WOW, it's purring like a kitten. Next time, this will be my first resort!
