Cheiridopsis candidissima - Lobster Claws [large]

Highlights

Cheiridopsis candidissima (Brown): Also known as lobster claws, this plant features long, thick leaves with a silvery blue coloration. It produces creamy yellow blooms with orange petal tips in the winter months. This plant is fully rooted in a 3.25" pot.

Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need bright sunlight, good drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
