Faucaria tuberculosa or more commonly know as Pebbled Tiger Jaws is a prehistoric-looking succulent. As it produces its new fang shaped leaves it looks fierce but in fact, it is quite soft to touch.
There are roughly just over 30 species of this compact clump-forming succulent, and as you can see they produce these beautifully bright yellow flowers during the cooler months. They are great fun and perfect for kids that like plants with character.
They respond to watering in the winter, so water once soil drys.
Faucaria tuberculosa grows up to 6 inches (15 cm) tall. Leaves are arranged in opposite pairs, dark green, scattered in rough white tubercles over the upper surface, and edged with soft white structures that look like teeth. They are ovate-triangular in the top view, up to 1 inch (2,5 cm) long and up to 0.8 inches (2 cm) wide. Flowers are yellow, daisy-like, and up to 1.6 inches (4 cm) in diameter.
This low maintenance succulent from South Africa has thick triangular leaves. The edges have white hair-like structures that look a little like teeth.
Ideal Conditions: Prefers full sun, or partial shade with free-draining soil or compost.
Possible Situation: Perfectly suited for planting in gravel gardens, paved areas, rockeries and small containers. Try mixing with other succulents and alpines.
