All the Details You Need to Know

The Story Behind This Plant

Crassula Buddha's Temple is a hybrid first developed in 1959 at the Huntington Botanical Gardens, crossing Crassula perfoliata var. minor with Crassula pyramidalis. The result is its distinctive square-column structure, named for its resemblance to a Buddhist temple pagoda.

How to Keep It Happy
  • Light: Needs bright, direct sunlight for several hours a day to maintain its compact shape. In lower light, it may stretch and lose its tight form.
  • Water: Let the soil dry out completely and stay dry for several days before watering deeply. Water sparingly, especially in winter.
  • Soil: Use an extremely fast-draining succulent or cactus mix.
  • Re-potting: Only re-pot when root-bound, as it prefers to be slightly snug in its pot.
