Description

lobster claw succulent Cheiridopsis candidissima 'Lobster Claws'A member of the family of succulents know as mesembs, or mimicry plants, lobster claws in its native South African habitat will form a dense mat of spiky foliage, leading to the creation of its other nickname, carpet weed. The uniquely shaped leaves grow in opposing, upright pairs, with a new set emerging from the cleft between the last two leaves. The new growth will emerge as a light green, before deepening to a steely blue. Reaching up to 4 inches

A member of the family of succulents know as mesembs, or mimicry plants, lobster claws in its native South African habitat will form a dense mat of spiky foliage, leading to the creation of its other nickname, carpet weed. The uniquely shaped leaves grow in opposing, upright pairs, with a new set emerging from the cleft between the last two leaves. The new growth will emerge as a light green, before deepening to a steely blue. Reaching up to 4 inches tall, with a spread as wide as 12 inches across, each plant will make a statement in a container or as part of a rock garden, in temperate zones above 9a.

Like all mesembs, lobster claws has adapted to tolerate extreme drought conditions, making the biggest threat to this plant overwatering. As such, be sure to allow the soil to dry completely between thorough waterings, and pot this variety in a very porous soil, such as a commercial cactus mix supplemented with pumice or perlite. Adequate airflow around the leaves and soil surface will also aid in preventing rot and other ills, as will sufficient exposure to plenty of bright sunlight.

Flowers can appear on lobster claws in late winter, typically sporting shades of orange, yellow, or white – though occasionally a reddish violet flower will emerge!

    Does it's purpose with style
    We used these in our pantry and dining room for shelves and they turned out well. The only reason they are hard to install is because of the design (which is very nice) so it is worth it. It just takes time when you you are hanging the shelves, to do it correctly. While they can hold a lot, we realized that a bunch of cans or jars cannot go on these shelves. Luckily we had another option for heavy items (Example: We had about 40ish pounds of cans/jars on a 1x12 board that is 33 inches long with 2 of these brackets...and it was too much). If you do not need to hold a lot of weight, these shelves are a for sure, for the price and quality. If you NEED they for something heavy, then you probably will have to go with something more practical from a hardware store. We LOVE them for our pantry!

    Worked as intended
    Hubby used these to mount a shelf above a long span of windows. They worked great and allowed a clean visual appearance.

    Nice brackets
    These are nice sturdy brackets for butcher block shelf however they do bend a bit. We installed in a corner so was able to pin to side wall no problems on big shelf. The smaller shelf about 18” moves a bit up and down when loading. Now very little and no worries about it but not rock solid

    Sturdy Shelf Brackets
    I really like these shelf brackets. They seem very sturdy, which is great for my laundry room shelves over the washer & dryer pair. It's going to be great to FINALLY have shelves for laundry supplies or "buyers' club" household items like 12-packs of paper towels or 36-packs of T.P. I can hardly wait to have my sons install them so I can fill them up!
