Faucaria tigrina

In this faukárii unknown date assigned to the genus (at least I have the relevant herbaria not find on the internet). The site is in the Great Karoo, the Albany district. This species is still under revision species. Plant odnožuje easily, thus creating grass, full of heads. The stem is thick, short and slowly accrete. Then it is possible to eject from the plant above the soil and show thickened roots. Today we can see the plant species with narrow leaves mostly clearly papilózní. The sowing rates are based on forms with beautiful pravostraně triangular leaves, large white papilózní. The plant has a robust appearance with prominent papillae on the leaves and "furious" naježenými hairline teeth. Flowers are autumn, opening up the afternoon. They are large, up to 5 cm in diameter, golden yellow.

Cultivation is easy - quite light (in winter), infrequent watering (let alone in winter), drained soil. It is good for free air flow. According to the news of the plants suffer during long dry and warm nights by sudden heavy rainfall. He can not cope with the inflow of water, roots will not rot and do not work. The whole plant then dies.
