Faucaria Tigrina — the Tiger Jaw — is one of those succulents that makes visitors physically lean in for a closer look. The thick, fleshy leaves have white teeth along the edges that interlock when the pairs close, genuinely resembling an open jaw. In autumn it produces bright golden yellow daisy-like flowers directly from the centre of the jaw — a striking contrast. It's one of the most interesting and conversation-starting succulents you can own.

Care Guide
☀️ Sunlight — Bright indirect to direct light, 4–6 hours. Good light triggers the autumn flowering.
💧 Watering — Once every 14–18 days in summer. During monsoon, water only once every 35–40 days — this genus is particularly rot-prone in high humidity. During the winter flowering period, keep drier.
🌱 Soil — Very well-draining gritty mix: 40% cocopeat + 40% coarse river sand + 20% perlite.
🌡️ Temperature — Thrives in 18°C–32°C. Protect from high monsoon humidity.
✂️ Maintenance tip — Do not separate the leaf pairs — they grow as interlocking units. The plant flowers most reliably when kept in a terracotta pot that allows the soil to dry completely between waterings.
Each plant is carefully selected and packed with love.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers for the details people usually want to know before ordering Faucaria Tigrina — Tiger Jaw Flowering Mesemb Succulent.
Faucaria Tigrina grows well indoors in India when placed near a bright window receiving 4–6 hours of indirect sunlight daily. East or west-facing windowsills work best. Most succulents adapt well to Indian indoor conditions when given adequate light.
Water Faucaria Tigrina once every 7–10 days in summer and every 14–20 days in winter. During monsoon, reduce watering as humidity slows soil drying. Always check if the top 2–3 cm of soil is completely dry before watering.
Use a well-draining mix of 40% coarse river sand, 40% potting soil, and 20% perlite for Faucaria Tigrina. Regular garden soil retains too much moisture in India's humid climate and causes root rot. Always use a pot with drainage holes.
Yes! Faucaria Tigrina makes a thoughtful low-maintenance gift for Indian homes and offices. Succulents are long-lasting, require minimal care, and suit housewarmings, birthdays, corporate gifts, and festive occasions like Diwali and New Year.
Repot Faucaria Tigrina when roots grow out of the drainage hole or when the plant appears too large for its pot, usually every 1–2 years. Choose a pot 2–3 cm larger and use fresh well-draining succulent soil. Best time is early spring in India.
