Introducing the variegated tiger jaws, known as Faucaria tigrina variegata, which is a captivating species of the Faucaria tigrine, opens in a new tab. Its adorable, jaw-like leaves make it easy to see why it gets its name! Faucaria tigrine variegata may appear frightening and spiky, but it is a succulent rather than a cactus, so it lacks spines.

These flowers typically bloom in the spring and summer months, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies to the garden. The bright yellow color of the flower’s contrasts beautifully with the plant’s green and white variegated leaves.
When it comes to care, this succulent thrives in plenty of sunlight, well-draining soil, opens in a new tab, and infrequent watering to prevent root rot. The variegated tiger jaws are well-suited to dry, sunny environments, making them ideal choices for xeriscape gardens or indoor succulent displays.
For this reason, Faunaria tigrina is well adapted to survive extended periods without water. Due to their extreme climate adaptation, these variegated tiger jaws are frequently sold as "unkillable" plants. During the growing season in the spring, diluted succulent fertilizer can be applied to support healthy growth and vibrant variegation.
The Variegated tiger jaws prefer indoor temperatures between 65-75°F and can tolerate outdoor USDA zones 9-11. They should be protected from frost and extreme heat when grown outdoors.
