Faucaria tigrina, 3 years
The Tiger Jaws are still alive after the spider mite attack last year. They haven’t been growing too much since then, though. They do look quite feisty and ready for a spring growth spurt. I just started watering again too.

These guys are like candy for spider mites. Once in a while I spray a mix of water, dish soap and rubbing alcohol on the leaves to kill as many bugs as possible. It does kill them off for a while, but they always reappear..

My first seedgrown succulent flower!

I just realized that this isn’t just another set of leaves. It’s a flower bud!

Looking very dangerous right now. The sun has really sped up their growth. I’m hoping to see them flower this year.

Just noticed that my biggest Tiger Jaws seedling has grown a little offshoot with one set of teeth. I was wondering when that was going to happen.
So far they have been extremely easy to take care of. I had to give away most of my seedlings because they just didn’t die on me and I ended up with 3 pots of very healthy plants.

Oddly enough, not all of the Faucaria seedlings have grown teeth. But the ones that have look magnificent.

Caught in the eerie light.

This pot of tiger jaws seedlings (and the other two) hasn’t grown much since winter. The teeth seem to only show up on new growth when the plants are placed in direct outdoor sunlight for several hours a day. It’s too hard to prevent them from stretching on my window sill anyway, so outside they go!

Much like the Pleiospilos, these have been so easy to grow from seeds. Way easier than keeping store-bought, overwatered plants alive (I admit to killing every single Pleiospilos and Faucaria, I’ve bought so far).
Peat free soil mixes + watering only when the seedlings look like raisins really is the way to go.
