The Faucaria Tigrina, also called the wolf throat, can be found in southern Africa. It is a small crass plant, no more than fifteen centimeters long and the leaves are three to five centimeters long and oval-rhomboidal in shape and with the leaves at an acute angle. It’s funny because if you look at the leaves well, the shape they make resembles a ship’s keel.
The most common color of these plants is grey green with white dots arranged in transverse lines. The leaves turn slightly red if exposed to the direct sun. The flowers are usually solitary or two-in-a-two. It is yellowish in color and about five centimeters in diameter.
As for temperature and irrigation, it resists light frost and holds direct sun and semi-shadow, it does not like cold much, so minimum temperatures should not fall by five degrees. And as for irrigation, once every fortnight between spring and autumn, and in winter you can choose to not irrigate it until the following spring or irrigate it every month and a half.
Always ensuring that the substrate is completely dry because Faucarias usually don’t like excess moisture being the main cause of death, so it is recommended during the winter epoch to have them in a dry place where the temperature is about fifteen degrees.
