Fuzzy Cotyledon succulents: besides Bear's Paw, what other varieties are there?

Among the many succulent plants, there is a very typical succulent variety, namely the Cotyledon genus succulents. The most notable features of Cotyledon succulents are that the plants are small, the leaves are round and plump, and they grow fuzz and a waxy coating. In the large family of Cotyledon succulents, there are also many beautiful varieties. Besides the more familiar Bear's Paw, there are quite a few other varieties too! Next, the old gardener editor will introduce them to you one by one.

First, Bear's Paw

It belongs to a succulent plant of the Crassulaceae family, Cotyledon genus, and its place of origin is Cape Province in South Africa. The Bear's Paw plant is small and exquisite, and its leaves take an oval shape, round and plump, light green in color. Even more amazing is that along the edges of the leaves grows a row of purplish-red serrated teeth; seen from a distance, they look just like the little paws of a bear, making people unable to put them down after looking. Because Bear's Paw is a typical subtropical plant variety, it is very suited to growing in a warm, dry environment with plenty of sunlight. However, it also has a certain tolerance for partial shade and resistance to cold, but the editor still wants to remind everyone that Bear's Paw is rather afraid of high temperatures; when the ambient temperature reaches 35°C, its plant can easily be sunburned.
