Tiger Jaws

Faucaria tigrina, known as Tiger Jaws, is a captivating and distinctive succulent, forming small clumps of triangular, fleshy leaves with soft, tooth-like projections along their margins, resembling an open jaw. This plant is an excellent addition to a specialist succulent collection or a well-drained container in a sunny conservatory or very sheltered, warm spot outdoors in the UK during summer. In autumn, it produces bright yellow, daisy-like flowers that open during the day. It requires extremely well-drained gritty soil and plenty of sun. Protect from frost and excessive winter moisture. A truly unique conversation piece.
