The name "Buddha's Temple" is inspired by its distinctive shape, which resembles the tiers of a temple or pagoda.

The stunning Crassula Buddha's Temple, also known as Crassula pyramidalis Buddha’s Temple, is a unique and eye-catching hybrid succulent. The name "Buddha's Temple" is inspired by its distinctive shape, which resembles the tiers of a temple or pagoda. This succulent is believed to have originated from South Africa, where it thrives in arid and rocky environments.  

The Crassula Buddha's Temple is a hybrid cross between Crassula falcata and Crassula pyramidalis. This combination has resulted in a plant with intriguing architectural features.


The leaves of this Crassula grow in stacked tiers, forming a pyramid-like structure folded up at the red edges.

Its leaves are heart-shaped, thick, and fleshy, with a powdery, glossy green colour. This square-shaped column grows up to 12 inches tall and 1.6 inches wide, producing branches from the sides.

The flowers of the Buddha's Temple Crassula are small and star-shaped, with a pale pink or white colour.

They bloom in clusters atop tall stems, creating a lovely contrast against the green foliage. The flowering period typically occurs during the spring and summer months. 

When it comes to propagation, the Crassula Buddha's Temple can be propagated through stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. Simply take a healthy stem or leaf cutting, allow it to callus for a few days, and then plant it in well-draining soil. With proper care and attention, the cuttings will develop roots and grow into new Buddha plants. 

Additionally, the Buddha's Temple Crassula is considered friendly to both humans and pets. However, it's always good practice to keep any plant out of reach of curious pets or small children, as ingestion can still cause mild stomach discomfort. 

When and How to Water Your Crassula Buddha's Temple 

Crassula Buddha’s Temple is highly drought-tolerant, thanks to its thick, stacked leaves that store moisture efficiently. This architectural succulent prefers infrequent but deep watering, as its roots are sensitive to excess moisture. Always let the soil dry out completely before watering again; overly damp conditions can quickly lead to root rot. The Crassula Buddha's temple prefers watering once every 1-2 weeks, and once every 3-4 weeks in the dormant season.

In spring and summer, during the growing season, your Buddha’s Temple will actively produce new stacked leaves, so it appreciates a bit more moisture. Water once every 1–2 weeks, depending on how quickly the soil dries in your climate. Give a deep soak and then allow the soil to fully dry out before the next watering. Avoid getting water on the leaves, as moisture trapped between the tight leaf layers can lead to rot.

In fall and winter, during the dormant season, the plant’s growth slows, and its water needs drop significantly. Reduce watering to once every 3–4 weeks, or even slightly less if your home stays cool. The goal is to give just enough moisture to prevent shrivelling while keeping the soil mostly dry. If the stacked leaves turn yellow or feel mushy, that’s a sign of overwatering; cut back immediately.

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Crassula Buddha's Temple

When growing indoors, the Crassula Buddha's Temple thrives in bright, indirect light. Place your Buddha's temple succulent plant near a window that receives plenty of sunlight, but make sure to avoid direct sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day. If your Crassula Buddha's temple isn't getting enough light, you may notice it is stretching or leaning toward the light source, which is a sign that it needs more light. In that case, you can consider using artificial grow lights to supplement the natural light. 

For outdoor growing Crassula Buddha's Temple, it's important to find a spot that offers partial shade. This means providing your succulent with 4-6 hours of direct sunlight in the morning or late afternoon while protecting it from the intense midday sun. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves of the Buddha's temple plant, so finding a balance between sun and shade is key. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

When it comes to the soil, this lovely Buddha's temple succulent prefers well-draining soil that allows excess water to flow out easily. A mix of regular potting soil and perlite or pumice works well to create a light and airy texture. This type of soil helps prevent water from sitting around the roots, which can lead to root rot.  Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally, use our specialized succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your Buddha's temple succulent to thrive.  

As for fertilizer, the Crassula Buddha's Temple plant doesn't require frequent feeding. During the growing season, which is typically spring, you can fertilize your Buddha's temple crassula once a year using a balanced (5-10-5), water-soluble NPK fertilizer diluted to half strength. This will provide the necessary nutrients without overwhelming your Crassula Buddha's Temple plant. In the dormant winter months, you can skip fertilizing altogether, as it is not actively growing during this time. 

Remember, it's important not to over-fertilize your Buddha's Temple Crassula, as succulents are generally low maintenance when it comes to feeding. Too much fertilizer can lead to excessive growth, weak stems, and other issues. Always follow the instructions and err on the side of caution when it comes to feeding your Buddha's Temple Crassula plant. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

When growing the Crassula Buddha's Temple indoors, it can adapt well to a variety of temperature ranges. It prefers temperatures between 60°F and 75°F, which is pretty comfortable for most indoor environments. It's important to avoid extreme temperature fluctuations and drafts, as they can stress your Buddha's temple succulent. As for humidity, the Crassula Buddha's temple is quite adaptable and can tolerate average indoor humidity levels. You don't need to worry too much about adjusting the humidity specifically for this Buddha's temple, Crassula. 

If you are living in USDA zone 9-11, you can grow your Buddha's Temple Crassula outdoors year-round. However, if you live in a colder zone, you can still enjoy this stunning Crassula succulent outdoors during the warmer months. Just make sure to bring it indoors or provide protection when temperatures drop below its preferred range. 

The Crassula Buddha's Temple can tolerate temperatures as low as 25 -50°F but prefers temperatures between 60°F and 75°F for optimal growth. As for humidity, it can handle a range of humidity levels, but it generally prefers moderate humidity. It's important to note that excessive humidity, especially in combination with low temperatures, can increase the risk of fungal diseases, so good air circulation is essential. 

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Crassula Buddha's Temple is a captivating hybrid succulent with tiered, pyramid-like foliage, reminiscent of a temple or pagoda. Its triangular leaves are thick, fleshy, and glossy green, with striking red edges. This unique plant produces delicate, star-shaped flowers in pale pink or white, adding to its charm. Buddha's temple crassula propagation can be done by stem or leaf cuttings. The Crassula Buddha's Temple is non-toxic to humans and pets, but it's always wise to keep it out of reach. Overall, it's a visually stunning succulent that brings a touch of architectural beauty to any plant collection.

Excellent Parallel Worlds and Xianxia Story
Format: Kindle
The story follows two affable characters, Rugrat and Eric. Rugrat is a wonderfully written redneck and Erik plays the role of an exasperated and loyal brother in arms. The two main characters interactions between each other bring interesting banter to the different parts of the story that other wise progress too slowly. It’s a cultivation novel and the main characters often take a great deal of time learning more about the system and how they can leverage its powers. The magic system in world combines well with the parallel world aspect, and the main characters thrive in their new environment. The stats, like in many other stories in this genre, serve as relatively arbitrary plot pieces that could be easily handled without the stats. The potential for growth and the magic systems interesting interactions with modern technology makes the magic satisfying to read about. My favorite aspect of the story so far is the clashing of the honorable soldier mentality with the “might makes right” philosophy of martial arts cultivation novels. Though it’s clear the author heavily favors one philosophy over the other. A great read, and an excellent novel to enjoy as an audiobook.

Xianxia-inspired novel I can actually read
Format: Kindle
I've read (or attempted to read) several wuxia/xianxia stories in the past. This is probably the best of that genre that I've tried. I know, such a titillating opening statement, but hear me out: this story is very good. NOT great, but not the typical "my eyes wish to bleed from my skull" experience, either. Most Chinese fantasy is bad. I wish that were not so, hence me trying to find good stories. In general, the stories don't make a lot of sense, and the grammar and repetitive phrasing makes the translations a generally terrible experience. Coming from a background of looking at college student papers, I've had my fill of bad grammar and poor sentence structure; I don't need more. With an English speaking author at the helm, however, this was a pleasant ride. There were a few grammatical errors but nothing to get my pants in a twist over. The story mostly makes sense, with only the two main characters occasionally speaking like locals throwing me off a bit, as well as the two of them growing so used to elements of their surroundings and quest rewards. It just felt a little unnatural in places. My biggest gripe is how they suddenly sprout knowledge of city planning and infrastructure. That really felt out of character, and came out of left field. Other than that, I think this was a solid first entry for this series.

Great great great but …..
Format: Kindle
Before I get into the meat and potatoes of this review this is a five star book. I have to say that starting out it is a five star book now rarely is a book absolutely perfect don’t get me wrong there are some classics in this genre or others that are just perfect now since this is the first book in the series it’s not perfect there are some points where concepts could’ve been made clear there are some points where things run a little long arcs in the story run a little long but overall it’s a 10. Imagine you going to a five star immaculate restaurant you sit down to eat and the waiter brings you your food they make one mistake they spill a drop of wine on the tablecloth is that a big deal no does it diminish the experience no but you notice it. Same thing here. No onto some specifics 10 realms has a great progression system two dynamic MC’s and a sort of bro shooter story. That’s what you get here and you get lots of that here. When you finish the book you’re going to want to move onto the next so you know it’s a great book now there are times when the story slows down it goes a little too slow in the middle of the book again you could flip through and to be past it but ultimately you can read through it and you will be better for it. Is it that bad no not really but you do notice it. Once the story really picks back up your back into it and like I said you’re going to want to continue it. Since it is the first book in the series I can understand this problem I’d like many others look forward to seeing what is next.

Interesting twist on an Isekai
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed this novel. Not only are the two main characters well developed, but so are the side characters. The slice-of-life setup is done well, with with you (the reader) being pulled along into the story. Right from the beginning, the author is successful in getting you to be fully invested in their struggles. While the book could stand to have another editorial pass, it does not detract greatly from the story. I also really enjoyed the Beast Mountain Trials. Far from your standard dungeon run, the - contestants? participants? contender? - whatever you want to call the people who participate in the Trials alongside Erik and Rugrat, who sort of fall into the Trials while trying to just live their lives and figure out how the Ten Realms things works, all participate in the different levels to see how far they can go. While the sect elders seem to understand that passing all the levels grants that person control of the dungeon, it also seems like everybody else who participates (or has participated) stops short of the last trial. Well, either that or, while they may successfully withstand the waves of beasts - the letter of the quest - they fail in the spirit of the quest, and thus fail to "beat" the dungeon. Given the way the villagers respond to Erik and Rugrat almost every time they do something to improve the villagers - often at their own expense or sacrifice - it is clear that the Ten Realms is very much a Darwin-esque universe. The strong rise to the top; the weak fall to the bottom. Yet, the many citizens of the universe, at least in the First Realm, have clearly failed to realize that they are stronger together. Which is perhaps why no one else has successfully completed the Beast Mountain Trials. Finally, while I knew that Erik and Rugrat were going to enact their revenge upon the Moon Healing House, I did not expect ... that. Not to say that it wasn't warranted, not out of character. Nor was is really unexpected. Not really. I was just a little surprised at the sheer coldness of it. I am definitely looking forward to reading the next book, as Erik and Rugrat ascend to Second Realm to continue their work toward healing the dungeon.

Another great start to an interesting series :)
Format: Kindle
A great start to a new series, a very good hybrid between a light LitRPG and Wuxia combination which somehow is greater than the sum of its parts. For LitRPG aficionados, the leveling system is pretty basic, but solid, the crafting part bringing it a lot more flesh and sparkle. For those who like Wuxia, they will instantly recognize many of the concepts and may enjoy (as I know I did) the emergent clash between the `strength first` philosophy so prevalent in Wuxia novels and the `strength with a helping hand` model of many Western writings. The second part of the novel contains some town-building, tower-defense elements which I found well-thought out and interesting, and I am truly looking forward to the way they will develop `in the next realms`. The protagonists are interesting, you can really empathize with them, especially at first, and the character building is slow but steady. I was surprised by the specializations they chose, and I absolutely loved the healer/healing part of the world-building, for me it was fascinating. I think I read the book in one day, even it is by no means short, and I found it very enjoyable.I am looking forward to all its sequels!
