Guide
The species-level account. Cultivar pages build on this and say where they differ.
Faucaria tigrina is a leaf-succulent in the Aizoaceae, a family of arid and semi-arid natives that store water in thick, fleshy foliage. Give it gritty, fast-draining mix and the brightest light you can offer, and water deeply only once the soil has dried out completely, roughly every 10 to 21 days in active growth. It stores its own reserves and rots easily if left sitting wet, so err on the side of drought.
