Faucaria tuberculosa Details

Faucaria tuberculosa, commonly known as Warty Tigers Jaw, is an impressive succulent. It features thick leaves with tiger-like teeth around the edges. The leaves have a distinct bumpy or wart-like appearance. The plant is adorned with showy, yellow flowers during autumn and winter. Together the foliage and flowers make this a spectacular plant. It typically grows to 10 cm tall and 15 cm wide, and performs best when positioned in full sun on a well-drained site with good air flows.

It is also included in rock gardens or other outdoor areas where it won’t get frosted.
