Crassula 'Buddha's Temple' is a striking succulent known for its unique, architectural shape. Its leaves are densely stacked in tight, four-sided columns, forming a square, pagoda-like structure that resembles a temple, hence its name. The leaves are grey-green and covered with a fine layer of white fuzz, giving them a soft texture. As it matures, this compact plant can reach a height of around 10-15 cm, and may produce small, star-shaped white or pink flowers at the top of the columns, typically in late autumn or winter.
Native to
Crassula 'Buddha's Temple' is a hybrid variety created by crossing Crassula pyramidalis and Crassula perfoliata var. falcata, both of which are native to South Africa. In its native environment, Crassula species grow in arid regions, thriving in sandy, well-drained soils and bright sunlight.
Water
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Crassula 'Buddha's Temple' is drought-tolerant and prefers infrequent but thorough watering. Water sparingly, especially in the winter months when the plant’s growth slows, to avoid root rot. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent water from accumulating.
Light
Bright, direct light is crucial for this succulent to maintain its compact growth and prevent the columns from becoming elongated. A south-facing window is ideal, but it can also tolerate bright indirect light. Insufficient light can cause the plant to stretch, losing its distinctive shape.
Humidity
Crassula 'Buddha's Temple' thrives in low to average humidity, typical of most indoor environments. It does not require additional humidity and should be kept in well-ventilated spaces to prevent excessive moisture, which could encourage rot.
Temperature
This plant prefers warm indoor temperatures, ideally between 18°C and 24°C. It is sensitive to frost and should be kept away from cold draughts or temperatures below 10°C. During colder months, it's best to move it to a warmer, sheltered spot indoors.
