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.

Comfortable, firm, great for positional sleep therapy
Color: Cool Grey, Size: 24x24x12 inch
This is just what I needed to breathe better in my sleep, my doctor recommended a pillow like this for sleep apnea symptoms. I have an upcoming surgery too, so i'm glad I was able to test it out a week prior and see how it can help me prop up in bed. Feeling better about my upcoming recovery knowing i'll have this great pillow to support me!

Literally perfect and exactly what I needed!
Color: Cool Grey, Size: 24x24x12 inch
I can't recommend this enough! It was exactly what i was looking for! I have an annoying habit of researching everything for months before I purchase something that will get used this often. I finally decided on this one and I was very pleasantly surprised. I needed a wedge pillow to put at my back while sitting in bed. Mostly for when I'm working on my laptop. This one was the perfect height and perfect fit for me.I'm a female that is 5'4 and weigh about 117pds. I wanted something firm enough to support my back, and this most certainly does! It had a very pleasant appearance with the light gray sides. It has a removable cover I can take off and wash when needed. It's portable enough to move from room to room, also works great on my couch and it has amazing versatility. It can also be used as a pillow for someone that might need to sleep at a slight incline. It also works if you need to prop your legs up. It came vacuum packed. Once opened It said to let is sit for at least 24-48 hrs to give it time to properly inflate. For me, It plumped right up immediately! Again, from someone that does her research, if your looking for something like this at a reasonable price, this is it!

It was worth every cent
Color: Cool Grey, Size: 24x24x12 inch
I have BPPV. It's a condition where tiny ear crystals come out of place and move within your ear canals - this fools your brain into thinking you're in motion, causing severe dizziness. The most common treatment is the Epley Maneuver, and that actually helps a lot. However, I was going through a period where every single day I'd wake up with severe dizziness. Even if I managed to do the Epley Maneuver and it worked, the entire rest of the day would be ruined because I'd still feel generally unwell and nauseous. I ended up getting a book about BPPV and the author strongly recommended sleeping at at least a 30 degree angle. So, that's why I ended up buying this wedge pillow... I started using it April 26 and today is May 17. Since I began using it as a pillow, I have not woke up dizzy again. That is so huge! It may be that sleeping at a 30 degree angle deserves 5 Stars but thought I'd give this pillow 5 Stars too, as it's been a great experience. If you suffer from this, here's how the angle should be...If you lay your head on a pillow and open your eyes, you should not be looking at the ceiling. With the right angle, you should be looking at where the wall meets the ceiling. If so, you know you're at the right angle. As far as pillow itself, I'd say the pillow case fabric is of average quality. Not really remarkable in any way. It seems decent. Good value for the price. The inside is firm (which is just what I needed) but comfortable, and I tend to not move around much the entire night. I like this very much and if it does start wearing out, I'll definitely come back here and buy another. Would recommend.

A bit too firm but great otherwise
Color: Cool Grey, Size: 24x24x12 inch
I got this wedge pillow primarily to have something to lean my head against (I like to lay on my side when reading or looking at my phone at night sometimes), or to sit upright when reading in bed. It's very comfortable doing both now. It does a really good job at being a nice support for the back of my bed. Only negative is I feel it's too firm. I wouldn't use it as a primary pillow, but it's definitely good for back support at least. While I won't mark it down for this, I do find it very large. If you have anything smaller then a queen it may take up more of your bed then you'd like. Definitely recommend. Hopefully will last quite a long while as well.

So helpful after surgery.
Color: Solid Warm Gray, Size: 24x24x12 inch
Perfect support while recording from abdominal surgery. This pillow maintains its shape and is not overly soft. I used it vertically as a prop for watching television and then used it horizontally to prop myself up to sleep, once I returned to sleeping in bed. I used this daily for 6 weeks or so following surgery. The cover can be removed and machine washed. The non-slip nubbies are helpful. This pilllow is high quality and really helped to minimize pain and improve my sleep after surgery.
