Nicknamed tiger jaws or shark jaws due to the arrangement of the leaves that grow in pairs, and appear to be lined with teeth.

Product Description

In the Portland metro area, many exotic succulents are often betwixt and between living indoors and out because they like the summer sun, but can't handle freezing temps and/or frost. Soggy roots and clay soils often spell death for these desert dwellers so we encourage owners of plants such as this Tiger Jaws to grow them in a pot with well-draining soil. They can be moved outdoors in the summer then retreat to warmer, dryer climes in the winter, kind of like snow birds!
This South African succulent is rather ferocious looking, with "toothed" pairs of stemless leaves piled one on top of the other, forming a mound up to six inches tall. Those "teeth" are designed to capture moisture from the air and are actually rather soft. Tiger Jaws, aka Shark Jaws, does well outdoors in the summer sunshine (once acclimated) and is fairly drought tolerant. When grown as a house plant, give it as much light as possible or place it under grow lights.
