Product Description

This wonderful succulent, Faucaria tigrina, which is commonly known as Tiger's Jaws (in fact, the Faucaria is Latin for "jaws") due to the teeth-like structure on the leaves, is a native of South Africa and an opportunistic grower. This plant is compact, usually staying under 6 inches in diameter, grow indoors or out in zones 9-11. Family: Aizoaceae Hardiness: Zones 9-11. Elsewhere grow as a windowsill house plant. Blooms: Yellow, late summer to mid fall. Will only bloom when mature and in full sunlight. The flowers open in the early afternoon and close when it becomes dark. Light: Bright light is best, which will make the leaves stay their greenest and encourage blooming. They can tolerate lower light conditions. Temperature: Optimal temperatures are 50ºF - 75ºF (10ºC - 24ºC), and should not reach below 40ºF. In extreme temperatures, make sure there is some shade. Water: During the summer months be sure to let the soil dry out before rewatering, keeping to a cycle of about every 1 1/2 - 2 weeks. During the winter they can be watered less often, about every 2-3 weeks. Water more frequently in extreme temperatures. Fertilizing: Fertilizing this plant really isn't needed as it's already a voracious grower. However, a liquid 10-10-10 diluted to half strength or a cactus fertilizer once a month during spring and summer can benefit the plant. Repotting: Make sure to repot during its more active period, starting in spring. The soil should be well draining, mixing in some sterilized sand and/or pebbles to help promote drainage. Propagation:Offsets that form at the base are the easiest way to propagate tiger's jaws, but leaf and are also options.

    i just received a group of 20 plants from your company. i cannot believe the the extent to which you all went to insure that the plants delivered in one piece, healthy and happy. They arrived a day earlier than expected and i went ahead and unpacked them right away to make sure they were ok as there were big dents in the box. they were awesome and all of them healthy absolutely beautiful plants. Thank you so much for caring about your product and you customers, keep up the great work and i will be referring as many as i can to your site. Again thanks, Regan
