Tigers Jaw has been soft/wrinkled, I watered yesterday but itâs still wrinkled? #tigersjaw I got this plant a few weeks ago and repotted/trimmed the roots (it was not this wrinkly and soft when I bought it but wasnât in the best shape either). I just watered it for the first time yesterday because of repotting and trimming the roots. Any ideas why itâs still wrinkly? Also does anyone know if I should trim off the dead flowers? I picked one off so far that just died. It looks like another new one is about to start blooming though! Thanks in advance.

Hoping someone can help me diagnose these spots on my plant. They appear as either a raised bump or a crater, whiteish with brown speckling. #tigerjaws

WHATâS MY NAME? đœ đ đ #WhatTheSuccWednesday #HelpMeNameMyPlant #Seymour So here is my latest succulent acquisition and I finally got myself a Tigerâs Jaw, although to me it looks more like an Alien as in from Alien (1979), Aliens (1986) and maybe even the latest, Alien Romulus (2024)? Has anyone seen the latest Aliens movie? Should I risk it?!? Or is it a green alligator đ ? I donât know đ€·ââïž but I would be interested in your thoughts and ideas for a name as I am sure there are some great ones out there. And finally I have a new succulent before this weeks #WhatTheSuccWednesday. So I donât fill up the thread thanks to @RJG with heaps of photos of my Tigerâs Jaw #tigerjaws and also my âsoon to be flowering đ€đAloe Vera #AloeVera, I thought I best have my own post plus I also want a name for this tiger đ So can you help me and look to join #HelpMeNameMyPlant ? Some plants look funny, some plants look bizarre and some are just plant weird đ€Ș Go get âem, Tiger đŻ!!!! #Seymour #theamigos #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy #GrowLights #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #SuccerForSucculents #CactusClique #PLANTMAFIA #GregGang #RJGAsksGreg }

Pest ID So not to long ago I posted about my tiger jaws, and some little red looking bugs, they are almost microscopic but they arenât.. I havenât been able to get rid of them. It doesnât seem like theyâre causing any damage to the plant but then again Iâm not sure Iâm not sure what type of bug they are. They are super small and red. They almost look like little mites I wasnât sure if they were bugs and then I zoomed in on my camera and I could literally see them moving.đ« anyways can someone tell me what they are and how to get rid ? And if they are harmful? #PestControl #pestID #PestControl #HappyPlants #tigerjaws #Faucaria #PlantAddict #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

Some plant updates đđ± All the plants pictured except for the airplant, have been treated with arber fungicide & insecticide đ§Ș they all have been noticeably healthier and stronger, Iâve had less leaf drop, and new growth! Some of the plants picture like the Echeveria Dusty Rose (1), and Echeveria cubic ice (3), have been dropping leaves, along with yellowing. There could be a few causes for this, but after my fungus knat issue im super paranoid and have since then treated all my plants with a mixture of both insecticide & fungicide. Iâm glad they are responding well, and even my tiger jaws from last week has some mite issue that has magically disappeared! đ€©âš I really recommend these two products for anyone having plant issues, this combo specifically. On arbers website they have a package that comes with both the insecticide&fungicide for a better deal, and they work perfect preventing both fungal issues caused by bugs, and work separately to prevent other issues. #ArberBioFungicide #ArberBioInsecticide #NewGrowth #HappyPlants #SucculentLove #PestControl #SucculentSquad #Succulents #Echeveria #Haworthia #AirPlant #Faucaria #tigerjaws

Learning whatâs best for each plant can be nerotic. I also just repotted my tiger jaws, and theyâve been outside for two days and seem like they are declining ? I donât think I watered them to much but not sure what this issue it ? Color has changed and these little white spots are on the middle of leaves. Not sure if it needs water or got to much or too much sun ? #SucculentLove #SucculentSquad

This one will tell you when it needs more water as it gets squishy and sad looking. But itâs a favorite of mine.

Heâs just a funky looking plant and I love watching him grow new âjawsâ. Soft and bendy means itâs thirsty, and firm means itâs well watered!
