I just purchased a Crassula ovata variegata from the grocery store on an impulse. At least I think that’s the name. The tag just said crassula. I am a succulent lover and I don’t have one like it.

Anyway, i immediately removed the outer wrapper and could see the soil was seriously wet. I’ve had it sitting on paper towels overnight and am still replacing them regularly to remove the moisture.

The plant looks okay, but I have no idea how long it sat in that condition. I’m wondering if I should try to get it out of that soil or just wait and see.

I should know better than to buy plants like that, but I sort of feel like I’m rescuing them.
