    Hello

    Am looking for advice on caring for Faucaria Tigrina or Tiger's Jaws succulent. Also any advice on Carulama care would be greatly appreciated. Mine is looking a little worse for wear, not enough light I think, and has lost it's red-brown markings.

    Thanks

    My Faucaria felina Grows basically in full sun--Shaded in the late afternoon--in a south facing window. It is planted in a well-draining cactus mix and watered about every four days. I have found that this is my "tattletale" plant for mealie bugs. If there is one around this is where it will show up! Otherwise it seems to be a pretty forgiving plant. HTH
