I'm
REALLY sorry to hear-about/see-about your dead
Crassula. I know how I feel when one of my C & S dies.

If you still are offering a Crassula Buddha's Temple pup, I would love to have one.
Look at the following pictures, study what I'm offering as alternatives, and send me your mailing address along with your choice of alternatives. "Upstate New York" hardly qualifies as a place to send it.
You can do that via a Private Message (PM) or I can post an email address here that you can use.
Well, what the heck... I'll just post it now:
you.bellowed.your.immenseness@gmail.com
I took the first picture below of the
Crassula in front of the
Beaucarnea recurvata just to give you another look at it.
In the following picture you can see the parent
Crassula with dozens of pups growing all over it, with two dark green pups in the foreground and a lighter green pup on the right. The two in the foreground are there because I wanted two more specimens growing up next to the original parent... to grow a kind of a "
Forest of Crassula". This is something that I have planned from the point that I first found out that it was developing pups and not dying. So those two are
mine. I apologize for my greed! The lighter green pup on the right I took off of the parent just kind of recently... within the last oh, maybe 7-10 days or so. With the same idea of growing a forest. But I'd be willing to let go of that one if you would like to have it. Although you must understand that only having been in the ground maybe 10 days or so that it probably does not have any roots yet.

You can see how small the two little tiny pups in the following picture are by virtue of my hand being in it. They broke off when I took the lighter green pup (mentioned above) off of the parent. I have no idea whether or not they're big enough to grow roots, but I didn't want to just throw them away so I put them in some... Well I can't say dirt, because it's
all grit... So I'll just say
pot. I would also be willing to let go of these two. I will, however, say that they have not shriveled up in the last week or 10 days or so since I put them in the pot, so they may very well be growing roots.

So I've got a question for you, and I'll offer you several options. 1) Do you want to wait until I'm
sure that any of these will grow roots (which
MAY take several more weeks), or are you willing to accept either 2) the larger light green pup from the first picture or 3) the two little tiny pups in the second picture... with both 2 & 3 "just as they are... or as is" ... trusting that they'll grow roots in the future? OR, 4) would you like one of the larger rootless pups that is still on the parent? The pups are pretty good about growing roots. I've given away maybe 10 rooted specimens so far.
Mostly to local people. You're the first that has actually responded to my posting asking if anybody wanted a pup.
So let me know what your choice of options is, and don't forget to send me your mailing address.
i've had one stay at my mountain house for 17 years under several feet of snow every year with 0 damage. However the stem rotted last spring and i had to root it in a pot and left it in there for better care.
