Faucaria 'Tiger Jaws' (small)

aka: Tiger’s Mouth | Spiky Fortune Teller

A geometric oddity with bite, Faucaria 'Tiger Jaws' forms tight rosettes of triangular leaves edged with soft, tooth-like projections—more dramatic than dangerous. Native to South Africa, this clumping succulent resembles a stylised animal jaw, earning its fierce nickname. In autumn, mature plants may surprise with golden-yellow daisy-like flowers.

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to full sun. Morning sun is ideal; protect from harsh afternoon rays.

• Temperature: Best grown in temperate zones. Not frost-tolerant.

• Soil: Requires free-draining soil. Use a cactus/succulent mix or amend potting mix with coarse sand or perlite.

• Watering: Water deeply when soil is dry, then allow to dry out completely. Reduce watering in winter.

• Propagation: Can be propagated from offsets. Allow cut surfaces to callus before replanting.

• Maintenance: Remove spent blooms and dry leaves to maintain airflow and shape.

Plants for sale are shown in a 7cm pot. The images will show the same or similar plant to the one sent to you.

Succulent colours can change due to the time of year, environment, or growing conditions.

Please Note:

Plants are sent bare rooted. A snazzy way of saying it will arrive with minimal or no soil or pot.

Succulents need to travel with the least moisture as possible due to potential problems, such as rotting. This means they are taken out of their pots and their roots are allowed to dry out before sending. As a result, plants may arrive looking slightly different to photos. Some maybe a little dry looking or slightly wrinkled leaves for example, remember succulents are hardy and will bounce back with a little TLC. TLC instructions will be within your order.
