Crassula ‘Buddha’s Temple’ Succulent, 4-Inch Pot
Crassula ‘Buddha’s Temple’ builds a compact, sculptural column of overlapping green leaves arranged in tidy, geometric layers. Its unusual stacked silhouette makes a small living centerpiece for a bright windowsill or desk. The column’s height and leaf arrangement vary naturally.
Size and what ships

Care guide
- Light: Provide bright light, with some gentle direct sun after acclimation. In intense summer sun, protect from scorching afternoon exposure; insufficient light can stretch its compact column.
- Water: Water thoroughly only after the potting mix has dried substantially, and let excess water drain. Water less often in cool, dim months; persistent wet soil can rot the roots and lower leaves.
- Soil: Use a gritty, quick-draining succulent mix in a pot with a drainage hole.
- Humidity and temperature: Average to dry indoor air suits this succulent. Keep it warm and away from frost and prolonged cold dampness.
- Feeding: Fertilize sparingly during active spring and summer growth with a diluted succulent fertilizer according to its label; avoid feeding a dormant plant.
- Pruning: Remove fully dried lower leaves gently and trim a damaged stem only if necessary. Handle the tight leaf stack carefully.
- Repotting: When roots fill the nursery pot, move just one size up into fresh gritty mix; avoid an oversized pot that holds moisture too long.
- Propagation: Established offsets or healthy stem cuttings can be rooted after cut ends callus; rooting takes time and is not guaranteed.
