Tiger Jaw Succulent (Faucaria tigrina)2.75"pot

The Tiger Jaw Succulent is a compact, rosette-forming succulent known for its triangular, toothed leaves that resemble a tiger's open jaw. The plant is low-growing and will gradually spread (rather than growing upright). With adequate exposure to light,  the succulent can produce bright yellow, daisy-like flowers, a delicate contrast growing from its tooth-edged leaves. The unique texture and easy-care nature make the Tiger Jaw a great addition to any succulent collection.

CARE:

• Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering and potential root rot.
• When watering, ensure that water does not pool into the centre since this portion of the plant acts like a cradle for the water, potentially causing the plant to rot. Tip it upside down and shake it before returning it to its spot. 
• This plant does best with a combination of direct and bright, indirect sunlight. A few hours of morning late afternoon sun is beneficial, but avoid prolonged exposure to direct afternoon sunlight during July/August, as it can burn the leaves. 
• It is normal for the leaves to develop a red/purple hue with increased and consistent exposure to light.
• Providing the plant with consistent light helps maintain its compact form and prevents stretching.
• It prefers a dry environment, so avoid placing this plant in a humid climate with your leafier tropical varieties.
• Avoid using heavy potting soils or soils that retain too much moisture. Opt for a well-draining, gritty potting media.
