Although this used to be one of the more common Crassula species available, the mass market succulent producers have overlooked Crassula columella recently in favor of hybrids derived from it like Crassula “Buddha’s Temple”. This happens often, as common species fade from ubiquity in favor of more vigorous or new-looking cultivars. While we wouldn’t call this stacking species a rare one, it certainly has not been produced at the level that it used to be. That is a real shame, given how easy it is to divide and grow into a mature-looking plant with striking stress coloration and fractal-like geometry.

From the northernmost part of South Africa and southern Namibia, where it receives little rainfall.
