Hi all,

Before we left for a 2-week vacation, I gave my succs a good but not drenching watering. All but two of them survived happily: a Crassula perforata that was already on its last legs and is now mush (thrown out), and a Crassula 'Moonglow' that lives on the screened porch. We ended up having a couple of days of unusually cool weather right after we left and I think that coupled with the thorough watering caused it to lose its roots and rot a bit at the bottom. When I came home today it had actually broken off from the roots and fallen over on its side, and the bottom 2 leaf pairs were rotten or starting to rot.

i have a good 2 inches of healthy leaves and stem (the top of the plant), although the bottom leaf pair got a bit damaged when I was trying to separate it from the rot.

Do you think I have any hope of salvaging this baby? Should I give it a day or two to heal and then just stand it up on some potting mix? Should I "surgically" (i.e., more carefully) remove the damaged leaves and then stand it up in mix? Is there something else I should/could do?

Thanks!
