Cotyledon tomentosa – Substrate:Ĭotyledon tomentosa is not so complicated on the subject of the substrate, just make sure it drains very well and does not retain moisture at all, in this way you will be ensuring the health of your specimens. Temperature:īeing a native plant of South Africa, its ideal climate is warm with a temperature between 68 ☏ to 86 ☏ (20☌ to 30☌), it does not tolerate frost or temperatures below 50 ☏ (10☌). Once the autumn season arrives, we must reduce the watering little by little and in winter we must avoid watering it since in that period it is more vulnerable to rot or fungal attacks. The watering that we will give it is the standard one, you have to water it when the substrate is dry and that it is a deep watering, that is to say until we see that the water comes out of the drainage holes of its pot. You can also have it indoors, just place it in an area where it receives a lot of light, the coloration of the tips of its leaves will be green if it is not very exposed to the sun, but if we get used to tolerating it the “nails” of its leaves will take a dark color giving them a better appearance of paws.

Cotyledon tomentosa is a succulent that tolerates very well the sun exposure in the mornings, in small specimens, it is necessary to adapt little by little because it can suffer from burns if we expose it to the sun and it is not acclimatized.
