Dunce caps

2 inch potted dunce cap as shown 

Orostachys malacophylla var iwarenge has silvery lavender cone-shaped rosettes 

The Chinese dunce cap succulents grow quickly and also propagate with ease. The long fall bloom stalks can reach up to six inches producing white or yellow flowers.

When you live in the USDA hardiness zones five to ten, you can grow them outdoors year round as they can tolerate frost becoming dormant in winter. In addition, these succulent plants are drought tolerant but need more water in the growing season.

Your Chinese dunce cap succulents love bright sunlight but cannot stand excessive heat or direct sunlight. Too much sun will cause leaf burn, and if you live in warm environments, it is best to provide your Orostachys malacophylla var iwarenge with some shade.
