Thanks, I'm quite pleased as well :) I actually found two, a second at a different store just labeled "succulent", but this one is even smaller and has lost a number of leaves. Never seen them there before, so the stores must have the same supplier. Took a look for some info about columnar Crassulas and it looks a lot like crassula perforata. I'm reading that I should wait until spring and their growth period before transplanting them into a gritty, well-draining mix, to make sure the roots heal. Here is a link that might be useful: Crassula Perforata

Generous you have been too Josh! You deserve them. I couldn't think of a better person, well maybe a few more, to send them too.;-) I know they will be well cared for by you, since you certainly have a way with these plants. They look so awesome Josh, and I thank you for taking good care of them! What a great job planting them. I love that mother daughter one especially.. I appreciate all you, all those here whom have been just as kind and generous to me too. Pay it forward. Mike:-)

The problem I've had in the past, before switching to a gritty type mix, was the roots bunching up really bad at the surface, particularly around the trunk. I'd basically have a hard packed mass of roots with decomposed peat moss, which became hydrophobic. Then, the leaves would shrivel and fall, like yours, due to an actual LACK of water. The bottom of the pot would be a soupy mess of decomposed peat moss which rots whatever roots try to inhabit that area. The short version: Josh is right, repot into a better mix. Joe
