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.

      Very Helpful Trip Planner
      Format: Paperback
      Good descriptions of trails, directions, and overview of each trail. I bought it to plan a trip in the Wonderland, but I realize that could be a book in itself. The information was a bit basic, but it did provide details on the different campsites that helped make decisions on which to stay at. All in all I would definately recommend!

      The best guide out there for the Wonderland.
      My husband and I used this book to plan our hike last year and it was an awesome guide. It breaks down your options based on direction you are traveling, number of days taken, and even difficulty level. We looked at the other books about the wonderland and really feel like this one was the best. If you are thinking of doing to Wonderland, you should buy this book, but don't expect to take it with you (unless you get the kindle), as others mentioned its a bit heavy. EDIT * After talking to Tami, I realized that some of the information I reviewed about the book was incorrect. I would like to point out, like she did, that there is an appendix that lists the number of sites each camp has (I previously assumed this information was missing from the book). This is an important bit of information we overlooked when it comes to applying for permits, as some of the camps only have a few spots available each night! Also, Sunrise visitor center was open past Labor Day BUT the restaurant was not and oh how disappointing that was! So definitely call and talk to someone at the park before making plans for a hamburger or milkshake.

      Great book on a great trail
      Format: Paperback
      A wonderful book with great pictures and rich details on the trail experience. Highly recommended. For me, it brought back rich memories of a family-group hike 38 years ago: my mother at 78, myself at 44, my brother at 40, a young adult friend in her thirties, three teen-age boys (two during one section, a different one during the rest). and three daughters (14, 10, and 8). It was a great experience for us all. Get the book as a valuable enticement and guide, and go for it!

      Fantastic Trail Guide
      Format: Paperback
      From the very beginning of this book, you can tell where Tami’s heart is. She genuinely loves this trail and being in the outdoors. It is written in a way to be easy to read, but filled with priceless facts and experience. I am very grateful to have this jewel at my fingertips to plan my hike of the Wonderland Trail about a year and a half from now.

      very useful details, and some humor
      If you're going to hike the WL this is the book to get. Lots of very, very useful details, and some humor. She really understands trail hiking. Hint: to save weight download it to a Kindle. (I'm not really an Amazon employee!). Then, read the information about the section you will be hiking next in the evening before or first thing while you're eating your oatmeal. ps: The WL trail is challenging but incredibly worth it. Get the book but more important, hike the trail.
