This unique variety of Faucaria tigrina Tiger Jaw is believed to be a hybrid of Faucaria tigrina and Stomatium sp.. The structure of this plant holds to the patterns of the Faucaria genus, but leaf "jaws" are much smoother and with only the occasional wispy tooth. This hybrid has chunky leaves with white outlines. The hallmark of this variety is a strong tendency to acquire purple hues, especially when grown in full sun. Generally blooms in late summer to fall with bright yellow flowers.
Faucaria is a genus of succulent plants native to South Africa, and is in the family Aizoaceae along with lithops and ice plant. These plants generally grow into large clumps and have triangular, jagged leaves forming opposite pairs, or "jaws". Leaves are light to bluish green with occasional red coloring when exposed to more sun. Separating offset rosettes is the fastest way to propagate, but can also be done by cuttings or seed. Faucaria can survive light frost but are not considered "hardy".

We always do our best to ship the largest and healthiest succulents we have available. But size and color may vary based on multiple factors including time of year, growing temps, length of days, and their growing seasons. Succulents generally slow down and almost stop growing during the coldest months of the year, but come spring and summer you can often see growth in just days.
