That this is awesome! Where did you get it?

It was very generously gifted to me. Assuming it survives, I plan to gift back an offset to them!

Well I'm on my 2nd. Killed the first. Purchased cuttings from 2 different Etsy sellers. The first one already had little root nubs when I purchased it. The 2nd one does not. Both sellers advised (after I killed the 1st one) that I had watered it too much. It was on the same watering sched as my other succs. Since it had "roots" I thought it was ok. Apparently not. They advised that when watering (twice a week) I should pick the cutting up off of the medium, wet the medium using a spray bottle and then replace the cutting. I've been doing this for about 2 weeks and so far it looks just about the same. Some of the lower leaves have dried up but that's about it. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Thank you,

Tyler

Tyler - I think it's hard to find that balance of how much or how little to water these when you first get them. Like many picky succulents, it's a race to get enough roots before you loose too many leaves.

What I do know is that these rot pretty easily. I used a perlite mix for improving root health at first and then switched lechuza pon to hold more moisture after that. Took some patience, that's for sure.

I LOVE it!!! Is it a Crassula? Hope it works itself out and thrives for you Tyler :-)

Thanks, Helen. Me, too!

Good timing Kevin, I just got mine the other day! It's pretty rough looking, but has lots of potential. I'll post a pic if I can make it happy!

Just saw this, I think I bought mine one year before yours.

I took the pups pups of mine finally off one week ago to experiment a bit with a rooting hormone.

(before-after)

I wish my temple would have never pupped :(. Any idea how to prevent it? How does yours look today, @ewwmayo?

Wow Mayo, that's REALLY beautiful; impressive growing. Any idea how old it is?

@User - No idea! The largest of the offsets is similar to what the main plant was originally, so maybe 2 years? Probably if i put it in a bigger pot, it would grow bigger faster.
