All the Details You Need to Know

The Story Behind This Plant

Bear's Paw is native to South Africa, where it grows in arid, rocky areas. Its adaptations to dry climates make it a hardy houseplant that thrives with minimal care indoors or in container gardens.

How to Keep It Happy
  • Light: Give it bright, indirect light and a warm, dry spot to thrive.
  • Water: Water only when the soil is fully dry, typically every 10-14 days depending on humidity and season.
  • Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix.
  • Pests: Relatively pest-resistant, but watch for mealybugs. Avoid letting water sit at the base to prevent root rot.

Sun: Indirect

Bear’s Paw Succulent thrives in bright spaces. It prefers bright, filtered light but can tolerate some gentle direct sun. Avoid dark corners or low light conditions—they’ll get leggy fast.

Light: Medium - Bright

They enjoy some direct sun, but they'll also do well in bright, indirect light. It is best to place this plant somewhere where it will receive some nice morning sun, or a couple hours of afternoon sun, and then indirect light the rest of the day.

Water: When mostly dry

Allow the soil to mostly dry out between waterings. Stick your finger in the soil—if the top 2 inches are dry, it’s time to water. Be extra cautious in cooler months when the plant uses less water.

Humidity: Any

This succulent doesn’t need extra humidity. Average home humidity is just fine, and it prefers drier air over too much moisture.

Pet Friendly: Caution

Bear’s Paw is mildly toxic if ingested. Keep it out of reach of curious pets and kids.

Pro Tip

Use a cactus or succulent soil mix with excellent drainage. A small pot with a drainage hole will help prevent root rot, which this plant is very prone to if overwatered.
