# This is the lone survivor of a trio I bought back when I had little…

This is the lone survivor of a trio I bought back when I had little experience and thought, “Succulents are easy.” After finally stabilizing it, I attempted to propagate three pups but none survived my renewed optimism. So, I took a vow of do no harm and left it alone for the past year.

We’ve finally reached the point where it no longer whispers “Plant Slayer!” when I walk by.

Attempting another pup propagation now… what could possibly go wrong?

Is this a crassula Buddha Temple?

Yep, it’s Buddha’s Temple. The top inch is the Before picture. The rest is the cautionary tale.
