Faucaria tigrina—commonly called Tiger Jaws—is a compact South African succulent known for its triangular, tooth‑edged leaves and bright yellow autumn flowers. It thrives with strong light, careful watering, and a dry, airy environment. Needs bright light and ideally 3–4 hours of direct sun daily to stay compact and to bloom.
-
Water sparingly. Allow soil to dry completely between waterings.
-
During active growth (spring–fall), water when the leaves begin to soften slightly.
-
In winter, keep almost dry—the plant prefers cooler, drier conditions and can rot if kept wet.
