Never spray water on the leaves of these succulents - spray one and it rots
Fellow plant lovers all know that when watering succulents, it is best not to get water on the leaves. This is especially true for succulents with fuzzy leaves, which need even more care when watering, otherwise black rot, mushy water-soaked spots and leaf drop are extremely likely to occur. Today, Huahua will introduce several kinds of fuzzy succulents.
Bear's Paw (Cotyledon tomentosa)
Complete Guide to Flower Growing
The leaves of Bear's Paw are covered with a layer of white fuzz, and their shape is as cute as the newborn paw of a little bear.
1. Watering
During the growing season in spring, water thoroughly to keep the potting soil moist. You can use the toothpick method to check the moisture level of the potting soil: insert a toothpick into the soil for 10 minutes; if its color darkens, the potting soil is moist and does not need watering.
2. Light
Bear's Paw likes a growing environment with plenty of light. Placing it on a south-facing balcony with ample sunlight will make its leaves thicker and fuller.
Fuzzy Needle (Crassula mesembryanthemoides)
Complete Guide to Flower Growing
The leaves of Fuzzy Needle are covered with grayish-white fuzz, and the leaf surface is green; under sunlight it turns red or purple, so it is often called the chameleon.
1. Light
Fuzzy Needle likes a warm, dry and sunny environment. In spring, if conditions allow, you can place Fuzzy Needle outdoors to receive full sun.
2. Watering
Spring is the growing season for Fuzzy Needle, so it does not need much water; watering twice a month is enough. You can tap the side of the pot with your hand; if it makes a dull sound, the potting soil is moist and does not need watering.
Little Blue Clothes (Echeveria 'Little Blue Clothes')
Complete Guide to Flower Growing
Little Blue Clothes is a small succulent with only a few white hairs at the leaf tips, and it forms clusters very easily.
1. Light
Spring is the growing season, so it can be placed by a windowsill with good ventilation and plenty of sunlight, in full sun.

In spring there is no need to water too much; just keep the potting soil moist. When watering, pour along the edge of the pot, and do not touch the leaves or the center of the rosette.
Echeveria pulvinata
Complete Guide to Flower Growing
The whole plant of Echeveria pulvinata is covered with fine, short fuzz, and its leaves are thick and juicy. With enough sunlight and a large temperature difference, a beautiful red edge forms around the leaf margins.
