Highlights
Pussy Ears or Furry Kittens (Cyanotis somaliensis): A hairy, trailing plant that brings contrast container arrangements. It has long, succulent stems that sprout thin, lanceolate leaves with long, white hairs. It has a creeping, trailing growth habit and looks great in hanging pots. It blooms with small violet flowers that also have a furry look to them. This species is native to Somalia and comes from the same family as Tradescantia.
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 ample 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.
This variety is easy to re-root from stem cuttings. Look to our Succulent Cuttings Guide for tips on succulent propagation.
