Cotyledon tomentosa ‘Variegated’, algemeen bekend as die Bont Beerpoot, is ’n opvallende vetplant inheems aan Suid-Afrika, spesifiek die Oos-Kaap. Hierdie lid van die Crassulaceae-familie word waardeer vir sy dik, sagte blare wat soos kloue lyk, met roomgeel bontkleure en rooierig tandagtige punte — soortgelyk aan ’n beer se poot. In die lente kan volwasse plante klokvormige oranje tot rooi blommetjies dra. Die plant verkies helder, indirekte lig maar kan ’n bietjie oggendson verdra. Dit groei die beste in goed dreinerende, sanderige grond en moet spaarsamig natgemaak word — slegs wanneer die grond heeltemal droog is. Oorwater is ’n algemene probleem en kan wortelvrot veroorsaak. Die bont variant is ietwat meer sensitief vir son en koue, dus is beskerming teen ryp belangrik. Voortplanting geskied meestal deur blaar- of stamsteggies, maar wees versigtig — die blare is broos en breek maklik af.

Cotyledon tomentosa ‘Variegated’, commonly known as Variegated Bear’s Paw, is a striking succulent native to South Africa, particularly the Eastern Cape region. It belongs to the Crassulaceae family and is beloved for its thick, fuzzy, claw-shaped leaves with creamy-yellow variegation and reddish tooth-like tips—resembling a bear’s paw. In spring, mature plants may produce bell-shaped orange to reddish flowers. This plant prefers bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate some direct sun, especially in the morning. It grows best in well-draining, sandy soil and should be watered sparingly—only when the soil is completely dry. Overwatering is a common issue and can cause root rot. The variegated form is slightly more sensitive to sun and cold than the standard species, so protection from frost is essential. Propagation is usually done through leaf or stem cuttings, though care must be taken as the leaves are delicate.

Versorgingsinstruksies:

  • Lig: Vereis helder, indirekte sonlig. Vermy direkte sonlig om die kleurvolle toppe te verbrand.
  • Water: Gee sparingly water en laat die grond heeltemal uitdroog tussen waterings. Gedurende die groei seisoen (lente en somer), water meer gereeld, maar verminder watering in die herfs en winter.
  • Grond: Gebruik ‘n goed dreinerende kaktusmengsel om wortelvrot te voorkom.
  • Temperatuur: Flora in warm toestande, ideaal tussen 18-30°C. Bescherm teen ryp en koue trekke.

Shipping Policy

**Shipping Policy for Plants**

At MantisPlants, we take great care in preparing and shipping your plants to ensure they arrive in the best possible condition.

Bare Root Shipping
All plants are typically shipped bare-rooted, meaning that the soil is carefully removed from the roots to prevent any damage during transit. We wash the roots to remove any remaining soil and allow them to dry before wrapping them gently in tissue paper. This process helps minimize stress on the plant and ensures its safe arrival to you.

Pot Shipping Option (Not Recommended)
While we do offer the option of shipping some plants in their pots, this is generally not advisable. Shipping a plant in its pot can result in root damage due to movement and stress during transit. The roots can become constricted or disturbed, which can harm the plant. If you are still interested in this option, it must be arranged in advance with the vendor, and we will take extra precautions to pack it as securely as possible. However, we highly recommend the bare-root shipping method to ensure the best possible outcome for your plant.

**Careful Packaging**
We take pride in our packing process to ensure your plant arrives safely. Every plant is carefully packed, with extra attention to detail to protect the roots and foliage. We take care to secure the plant during transit, and make sure it is cushioned and stabilized inside the shipping box to avoid damage.

Our goal is to make sure your plant reaches you healthy and ready to thrive! If you have any questions about the shipping process, feel free to reach out to us.
