Faucaria felina
Tiger Jaw
Description
Faucaria felina, commonly known as Tiger Jaws, is a captivating succulent that is known for its unique appearance and striking features. Its fleshy, triangular leaves are arranged in opposing pairs, with toothed margins that resemble a gaping jaw, reminiscent of a tiger's mouth. The color of the leaves ranges from green to reddish hues, adding to its visual appeal. This slow-growing plant typically forms compact clumps, making it suitable for container gardening. Like other Faucaria species, it thrives in well-draining soil and requires bright, indirect sunlight to flourish. Regular but sparing watering is crucial, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent rot.
