| Description | The variegated cousin of Cubs Paw. |
|---|---|
| Pronunciation | (kot-EE-lee-don) |
| Plant Type | Succulents |
| Hardiness Zone | 10 |
| Sunlight | I have grown this plant in the direct light outdoors during the summer and it flourishes in these conditions. In dim conditions it will become weak and leggy |
| Moisture | dry out between watering |
| Soil & Site | aveage, well drained |
| Growing Media | well drained, cactus and succulent mix |
| Temperature | average house to warm |
| Flowers | Where as the non-variegated Cubs Paw is easy to coax to bloom I have never had the variegated bloom for me. |
| Leaves | The leaves are formed in the shape of a Cub's Paw. The more light the plant gets the thicker and the coarser the hair will get. In low light the paws become greener in color, in higher light they will become a pale yellow. Also in high light the leaves will form tiny spots on the tips that look like the toes of a bears paw. The purpose of the hair is to shade areas of the leaf to slow down water loss |
| 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 |
