Tiger’s Jaw (Faucaria tigrina)

Welcome to our world of botanical wonders, where the extraordinary Faucaria Tugrina, affectionately known as Tiger's Jaw, takes center stage. If the thrill of checking your succulent collection for potential biters adds a touch of excitement to your day, then Tiger's Jaw is the charismatic succulent you've been waiting for.

Tiger's Jaw, a.k.a. Faucaria Tugrina, is no ordinary plant – it's an adorable succulent beast that adds a unique flair to any collection. Don't let its initial intimidating appearance fool you; this little bad boy is sure to capture your heart with its exotic charm. With bright green, plump, triangular leaves forming a star-shaped rosette, Tiger's Jaw stands out at a compact 6 inches (15 cm) in height, with leaves reaching up to 2 inches (5 cm) in length.

The defining feature of Tiger's Jaw lies in its leaves – a cluster of triangular wonders adorned with ten menacing, sharp, teeth-like structures. These "teeth" aren't just for show; they serve as a natural defense mechanism against predators and assist in trapping water vapor from the air, nourishing the roots. The leaves boast a rough texture, enhanced by spaced-out white striations. When this succulent is "happily stressed," it adorns itself with deep purple or pink outlines, adding a touch of drama to its appearance.

But the show doesn't end there. Tiger's Jaw unveils stunning bright yellow flowers from early fall to winter. These blooms open midday and gracefully close just before sunset, creating a captivating display. Even on cloudy days, the flowers retain their mystique by remaining closed.

Bringing Tiger's Jaw into your household is not just an acquisition; it's an invitation to nurture and witness the beauty of a truly unique succulent. With just a little love, this exotic gem will thrive, adding a touch of the extraordinary to your botanical haven. Embrace the allure of Tiger's Jaw and elevate your succulent collection to new heights.
