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.

After some time, the rosettes make small pale yellow flowers with greenish bracts on spikes.

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.

      Favorite toy but my dog chews too aggressively .
      I took away 1 star because my dog tore a hole into this toy the 1st day, but even though that happened I am still happy with this toy. It was a great price and my dog LOVES this toy. He throws it all around and shakes it, "Octy" keeps him entertained for a good 45 mins , so I am still happy with the purchase .

      Dangerous for dogs!
      Not only is this not a tough toy since my puppy tore it apart in less than 2 months, she also swallowed the long red strings and filling. I had to pull it out of her back end. Any dog owner knows this is not safe, especially for my 5-month-old puppy. This is in no way a tough toy, and can be very dangerous for dogs.

      Tough, Crinkly, and Puppy-Approved – A Big Hit in Our House!
      Mellie absolutely loves this toy! From the moment we gave it to her, it’s been one of her go-to favorites. The squeaker is loud enough to keep her engaged without being obnoxious, and the crinkle material inside is hands-down her favorite part. It really keeps her entertained and curious. What impressed me most is the durability. My puppy is about 4 months old and definitely puts her toys through the wringer, and this one has held up amazingly well. After almost a full month of daily play, there are no rips, tears, or loose seams. The stitching feels solid, and the material is thick and sturdy without being too hard on her mouth. It’s also a great size for tossing, tugging, and shaking around, and the different textures make it more interesting than a standard plush toy. Overall, this has been a fantastic enrichment toy that keeps her busy and happy, and it’s held up far better than many others we’ve tried. Highly recommend for puppies or dogs that love squeakers, crinkle sounds, and a toy that can actually take some abuse! Great toy for a great prics!!

      Fly fishing dog in training
      This thing is so dang cute! It’s proven to be durable for my small dog, too. He drags it all around inside and outside and it’s no worse for the west.
