| Leaves | The chubby, wedge-shaped succulent leaves are covered in soft hairs (tomentose) and have rounded teeth that resemble a bear's paw on the tips. |
| Dimensions | It is a densely branched "shurblet" succulent reaching around 12 inches. |
| Maintenance | Becomes woody and will need to be cut back |
| Propagation | The two main ways of propagation are tip cuttings and whole leaf cuttings. Take an entire leaf and lay it flat on some propagating media and it will form a tiny plant at the leaves apex. This will take a while. We will do a dozen or so leaves at one time to insure that a few will takes |
| Native Site | The non-variegated plant is native to an area near the town of Ladismith, South Africa. |
| Author's Notes | I have grown this plant many times and found it easy to grow. Grow on the dry side and full sun for best results. |
