The Chinese Dunce Cap is a perennial succulent plant that belongs to the plant family Crassulaceae, Genus Orostachys. These succulents are native to Japan, Mongolia and Northern China. They flourish in cold, mountainous regions and grow quickly in the spring, summer and autumn. 

They form open rosettes of lavender-gray leaves that can grow to a diameter of 2 inches. The rosettes produce tiny plantlets on thin stems that spread out up to 6 inches away from them to form a clump. After some time, the rosettes make small pale yellow flowers with greenish bracts on spikes.      

This species has beautiful leaf shape and color, are easy to propagate and maintain, and has a certain ornamental value.

 

Care Tips

Light: It is very light-loving and best to have full sunlight during its growth period. In the summer, it is better to put it in a place with sufficient diffused light and sunlight in the morning and evening. And in winter, it is better to put it in a sunny balcony to avoid prolonged shade, otherwise it will easily lead to the excessive growth of the plant and affect its shape.

Water: It’s better to follow the method of watering only when it is dry and not dry, otherwise it will lead to waterlogging and rotten roots and rotten leaves if we are not careful. Therefore, in the summer, we should water 3-5 times a month but 2 times a month in other seasons.

Soil: They need to be drained well, but they’re able to adapt to both nutrient-rich and nutrient-poor soil. 

Potting: It is recommended to use ceramic pots. Ceramic pots have a certain degree of permeability. Clay pots lose water too quickly, and plastic pots tend to retain water for too long and permeability is poor.

Temperature: They are very sensitive to high temperature, so they need to be placed in a cool place that’s well ventilated in the summer. The suitable temperature for their growth is 15℃-25℃. The temperature in the winter should not be lower than 3℃ because at low temperatures, it’s easy for them to suffer frostbite and may even die.

Humidity: Chinese Dunce Cap grows well in average household humidity levels. It doesn’t like too much humidity.

    Care Instructions

    Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details.

    To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.

    Make sure to leave drought periods between waterings to prevent the plant from water-logging.

      Love this sunscreen!!
      Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50+
      This is my favorite mineral sunscreen. It goes on white, but the white cast leaves very quickly. The SPF 50 keeps me adequately covered in the Arizona sun and I've never gotten a sunburn when I have it on. It's a must have if you enjoy the outdoors in the summer.

      Does seem different from blue bottle version
      Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50+, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50+
      I have to say this one is interesting. I’m use to using the Blue Lizard in the all blue bottle for the better ingredients & still effective against UV rays with the only downside of the white cast. With that being said this one does dry m o r e clear, but does seem to take longer rubbing into the skin. I also noticed I get much darker/ more red when using this one compared to barely any skin change with the all blue bottle during a beach day. It still says 50+ SPF, but I have noticed more of a pattern of that happening. Depending on how much/ long I’ll be in the sun I might use the other instead, but if I am planning to go somewhere more of a social gathering I may use this one due to it drying clear.
