Highlights
Faucaria longidens (Tiger Jaws): A fascinating succulent with thick, triangular green leaves edged with long, tooth-like projections that resemble the open jaws of a tiny predator. Despite its fierce appearance, the soft, flexible "teeth" are harmless to the touch. This low-growing variety forms dense clusters of fleshy rosettes and can produce cheerful, golden yellow flowers in the fall. It thrives in bright light and well-draining soil, making it a unique and easy-care addition to any succulent collection.
Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need ample sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
