Faucaria, a genus of succulent plants, has basic care needs that involve plenty of sunlight, well-draining soil, minimal watering, and temperatures above freezing. Their thick leaves accumulate water, making them resilient in dry conditions but vulnerable to overwatering and root rot. Common pests include mealybugs and spider mites. During hot seasons, faucaria must be shielded from extreme sunlight, while winter care involves less watering and protection from frost. Note that these care tips may vary slightly between different species within the faucaria genus.
