Water Faucaria tigrina thoroughly when the soil is completely dry. Overwatering is the most common cause of root rot.

Reduce watering significantly during the dormant winter months, allowing the soil to remain dry for extended periods to prevent fungal diseases and encourage winter dormancy.

Pruning is rarely necessary for Faucaria tigrina. Remove any dead or dried leaves at the base of the plant to maintain a tidy appearance and prevent potential rot.

If the plant becomes etiolated due to insufficient light, pruning back may encourage more compact growth from the base.

Faucaria tigrina is easily propagated by division or offsets. Carefully separate offsets that form at the base of the parent plant.

Allow the cut surfaces to callus for a day or two before planting in well-draining succulent or cactus soil. Water sparingly until roots have formed.

Repot Faucaria tigrina every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix.

Choose a pot with drainage holes and ensure it is only slightly larger than the current root ball to avoid water retention issues.
