How to care for Tiger Jaws

Difficulty

With a bit of knowledge and dedication, you can successfully care for Tiger Jaws, making it a rewarding choice for those seeking a moderate challenge.

Water

Tiger Jaws does best in dry soil and should only be watered sparingly.

Lighting

Tiger Jaws thrives in bright and direct sunlight. To ensure your plant receives enough light to survive, place it less than one foot from a window. The current weather in your area may affect the placement in your home. For example, if you live in a region that has longer and more intense periods of sunlight, then you may want to place the plant farther away from the window to avoid direct sunlight and reduce the risk of sunburn. Alternatively, if you live in a region with relatively milder temperatures and less intense sunlight, then you may be able to place the plant closer to the window for increased exposure. Ultimately, the current weather in your area should be taken into consideration when determining the best placement for your Tiger Jaws.

Dormancy

During the wintertime, it is common for Tiger Jaws plants to go dormant and their growth rate may slow down. Therefore, the amount of waterings should be spaced out more.
