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.

Good product, but needs a little work to be perfect.
Honest product review here: It's very close to being perfect. 1. The tubes are a very good size, I get annoyed with products that cost a lot and the tubes are the size of my fingers (Tiege). 2. The foaming cleanser is great, no complaints. My face feels very clean. 3. The facial scrub could use some work. This could be a preference but I like my facial scrubs to feel like they're taking a steel wool pad to my face and grinding the dead skin off, and afterwards I get that "fresh air" feel on my face. This doesn't cut it for me. If this was improved I would like this more. 4. The moisturizer. I'll start off with the good, it feels GREAT! It's not oily, it takes only 15-30seconds of rubbing to really get into my skin and just overall great feeling. HOWEVER, who the hell designed that smell. It's like a chemical mint, what in the world, I've never smelled anything like that. Not a fan, I feel us men have to deal with the worst smells; fresh sport, swagger, and tree bark for our options (i elect to pick tree bark). Now chemical mint??? Needs work. 5. No comments on the eye cream, I didn't use it. Probably never will who knows. This is a really solid product, the volume is there for the price, the moisturizer feels great, and the cleanser feels great. If they could fix the intensity of the facial scrub and that moisturizer smell it would be a 5 star for me. If you are the product design team or owner and you're reading this, it's close. Fix the two items I mentioned and you have me as a customer for life. However, I would advise against pushing that price point above $40. I feel the $32-$35 is a sweet spot. Tiege team has lost their minds pushing $45 product for those tubes, don't do that.

My new choice for skincare!
Was looking for new skincare and came across Viking Revolution. Let me just say I’m happy I did! Phenomenal skincare that really gets the job done. Luxurious lather on the Foaming cleanser, that leaves my face fresh and clean but not stripped of moisture. The microdermabrasion Skin Scrub is my fave and gentle enough to use everyday. My skin definitely looks brighter since I started using this. The set does come with an eye cream which is pretty great, and a moisturizer that doesn’t leave my skin and beard feeling greasy but nice and soft. Extremely impressed w the large sizes in the set and I’m totally a fan and loyal customer now. Excited to try some of their other products which there are a ton! Pricing is reasonable for everything you get and believe me a little goes a long way. 5 stars!! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A major upgrade from standard drugstore brands—sophisticated scent & better lather.
I have been a long-time user of standard body washes (think Old Spice, Axe, or Dove Men), but I kept seeing hype about Cremo and decided to see if it was worth the slightly higher price tag. After using the 32oz Spice & Black Vanilla for a week, I can confidently say this is a massive upgrade for your shower routine. ​Here is how it stacks up against the typical grocery store brands: ​1. The Scent is on another level: Most cheaper washes smell like generic "Sport" or "Ocean" cologne. This scent is much more complex and earthy. ​Top Notes: It starts with a sharp, spicy kick (that's the cardamom). ​Finish: It settles into a smooth, warm vanilla and tobacco scent. It smells more like a high-end department store fragrance than a soap. ​Staying Power: The scent actually lingers. If you shower in the morning, you will still catch subtle hints of the warm spices for a few hours, which pairs really well with woody colognes. ​2. Performance & Feel: The consistency is thicker than what I'm used to. You only need one solid pump to get a rich lather with a loofah. Crucially, it rinses clean without leaving that "squeaky" residue that dries out your skin, but it also doesn't leave a slick oily film like some ultra-moisturizing washes do. It hits a perfect balance. ​3. Value: The 32oz bottle is substantial. Because the gel is concentrated, I expect this bottle to last 3-4 months easily, making the cost per ounce very reasonable compared to buying smaller bottles of cheaper stuff every few weeks. ​Pros: ​Sophisticated, "grown-up" scent profile. ​High-quality pump (sturdy, doesn't clog). ​Non-drying formula is great for colder months. ​Cons: ​Potency: The scent is strong. If you are sensitive to fragrance or prefer unscented products, this might be overwhelming. The bathroom will smell like it for a good 20 minutes after you're done (which I enjoy, but keep it in mind). ​Verdict: This bridges the gap between basic hygiene and luxury grooming. If you are tired of smelling like "Blue Sport" and want something warmer and more refined for the fall/winter, this is absolutely worth the switch.
