Imagine stumbling upon a miniature wonderland where nature's creativity knows no bounds. Welcome to the world of the Lobster Claw plant - also known as Cheiridopsis candidissima! Because of its dense mat of spiky foliage, it is also mistakenly known as Cheiridopsis denticulata or carpet weed. 

This cheiridopsis succulent plant gets its common name, "lobster claws," from the shape of its leaves, which are thick and fleshy with pointed tips that resemble the claws of a lobster and turn reddish-purple under sunlight. 

Hailing from South Africa, it’s a member of the Aizoaceae family, which is also known as the ice plant family. It flourishes in sandy soil and dry riverbeds, sporting the most enchanting name derived from the Greek word 'cheiris,' meaning 'sleeve.' This is because when the erect, upright leaves pair begin to dry out in the summer, they resemble a protective sleeve around the succulent. It can grow up to 4 inches tall and up to 12 inches wide. 

This lobster plant is active in the winter, so when the temperature begins to fall, lobster claw flowers begin to bloom. The flowers have striking hues that range from yellow to purple. It is simple to grow from cuttings or seeds. 

Watering Needs 

The lobster claw is a drought-tolerant plant that doesn't need much water to thrive. In fact, overwatering can be detrimental to the lobster claw's plant health. As a general rule, it's best to wait until the soil is completely dry before watering your succulent plant again. This can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the climate and growing conditions. 

When you do water your lobster claws, it's important to water it deeply and thoroughly. This will encourage the giant lobster claw to develop a strong root system and will help it withstand periods of drought. Since they are active in the winter, they require more frequent watering when it is cold outside. However, you should avoid getting water on the leaves, as this can cause the powdery coating to rub off and can lead to rot or disease. 

Light Requirement 

The lobster claws require full sun to partial shade, making it an excellent choice for outdoor gardens or indoor spaces with plenty of natural light. It can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, but it prefers warm, dry conditions and can suffer in humid or wet environments. 

When growing Cheiridopsis candidissima indoors, it's important to place the plant in a sunny window or under a grow light to ensure it receives enough light. If this isn't getting enough light, it may become leggy or pale, and its growth may slow down. Conversely, if your lobster claw plant is getting too much direct sunlight, it may become scorched or sunburned. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The lobster claw plant prefers well-draining soil that is rich in nutrients. A sandy or gravelly soil mix is ideal, as it will allow excess water to drain away quickly and prevent the plant from becoming waterlogged. You can also improve drainage by adding perlite or coarse sand to your soil mix. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally use our specialized succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your succulent to thrive. 

When it comes to fertilizing Cheiridopsis candidissima, less is more. This giant lobster claw doesn't require a lot of nutrients to thrive, and over-fertilizing can actually harm its growth. You can use a balanced fertilizer once a year in the spring with an equal mix of NPK (5-10-5). 

Hardiness Zone & More 

The lobster claws can withstand temperatures as low as 20 degrees Fahrenheit and are well-suited for USDA hardiness zones 8 to 11.It thrives in cold climates because it is active during the winter. If you have mild winters, you can even put it outside.  

However, Cheiridopsis candidissima is native to South Africa and is adapted to hot, dry conditions. It can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, but it prefers warm, dry conditions and can suffer in humid or wet environments. If you're growing it indoors, make sure to place it in a spot with plenty of natural light and good air circulation to help prevent the buildup of excess moisture. 

Don't miss out on adding the Cheiridopsis candidissima - Lobster Claws to your garden! Order now and enjoy its beauty for years to come.

Works great and lovely color!
Color: Beige, Size: Large, Color: Beige, Size: Large
A decent lint remover and great fabric shaver. I have so many tops that bead and this fabric shaver has become a most effective way to remove those little fuzzies and beaded areas of fabric that make my tops look old. This makes my clothes look new. It’s extremely easy to use but it does not include the 2 AA batteries you’ll need, so definitely grab you some. It’s durable and does the job fast. Overall, very handy, a good value, and excellent quality. I would recommend!

pretty junk-y. worst lint roller ever created.
Color: Sage, Size: Large, Color: Sage, Size: Large
My review is for the Farberware Fabric Shaver & Lint Remover Set–Battery Operated Sweater Shaver with Triple Blades and Extra Sticky Roller for Pet Hair, Fuzz & Pilling on Clothes, Upholstery & Bedding (Sage, Large) (Sage, Large) Honestly, this is one of the worst fabric shavers I've used. It is also absolutely the worst lint roller I have ever used. And I've used the IKEA ones that are even much cheaper than this. Absolutely do not push us this, unless you make your life more difficult or find that you have no benefit to your clothes whatsoever.

It shouldn’t be this hard to use, don’t like the fabric guard
Color: Gray/Blue, Size: Large
This review is for the Best Brands listing “Farberware Large Lint Remover & Fabric Shaver Set – Battery Powered Sweater Shaver with Triple Blades and Extra Sticky Roller for Pet Hair, Fuzz & Pilling on Clothes & Furniture“. This set contains a fabric shaver as well as a lint removal roller. The fabric shaver needs batteries, not included, and the orientation is weirdly not marked on the side that takes the batteries but instead on the outside of the battery lid, on the last surface you’d check. So even though this needed a very normal two AA batteries it was still harder to install than it needed to be. Also, emptying the lint collector is harder than it needs to be. I need to use both hands and hold the remover against my body to detach the lint container. It comes off with a “click” that does not bode well for the durability of the device. As for using the lint remover, it does an ok job. It has a fabric guard to presumably prevent anyone creating holes in the fabric they’re cleaning and the guard can be lowered/raised slightly. However, it keeps the lint remover far enough away from the fabric you need to press pretty hard to get decent results and you can’t get as close as you need in some areas due to the bulk of the plastic guard. The handle is also a little bulky, it’s like they made the entire device larger instead of just making the shaving surface and the lint catcher larger. The lint roller was pretty standard. I have long nails and usually struggle with detailed tasks, but I was able to get to the sticky panels without too much hassle. Although u made a bit of a mess trying to get the lint roller started, the roller was nicely sticky and lasted a little longer than some cheaper alternatives. I was able to get the sticky sheet to tear at the perforated edge easily. I have used the shaver to clean an old wool sweater as well as a newer pair of jersey sweatpants, and the results were ok but I prefer my smaller, older lint remover for effectiveness and ease of use. The lint roller was very nice, although I sort of expected the pretty pattern to be on the entire roll not just the front cover. This set works ok, but I really don’t like the lint remover and am removing a star because it’s harder to use than it should be, including the presence of the bulky fabric guard.

good
Size: 23.6 Inch, Color: White
I recently added this bathroom shelf, and it’s been a great upgrade for organizing my space. It was easy to install and feels sturdy enough to hold everyday essentials like toiletries, skincare products, and small containers without any issues. The design is simple and clean, which helps it blend in nicely with the rest of the bathroom. It doesn’t take up much space but still provides enough storage to reduce clutter around the sink or shower area. One thing I appreciate is how practical it is for small bathrooms—everything is within reach, and it makes the space feel more organized overall. As long as it’s installed properly, it holds up well and stays secure. The only downside is that heavier items might not be ideal depending on the material, but for regular use, it does the job perfectly. Overall, a functional and affordable solution if you’re looking to add extra storage and keep your bathroom tidy.
