The structure and growing habit of the plant is similar to the more familiar hens and chicks, although considerably smaller with a more delicate appearance. Chinese Dunce Cap succulents are suitable for growing in USDA plant hardiness zones 5 through 10.
*** CARE FOR CHINESE DUNCE CAP
Chinese Dunce Cap is easy. Most importantly, like all succulent plants, Orostachys Dunce Cap requires well-drained soil and is likely to rot in humid conditions. If you’re concerned that your soil may be a little too moist, dig in a generous amount of coarse sand or grit.

Customer Reviews
I feel like shipping took a while. Over 10 days. A lot smaller than I thought it would be. I realize I ordered a 2in but I have ordered other 2 in and usually they are pretty full. Hardly any soil. I'm not going to say don't ever order from this shop but I probably won't order again.
Plants arrived happy and healthy
Beautiful plant and was delivered on time.
Plant arrived well packaged and in good shape. Just what I was looking for
Shipping took forever. This little beauty came just as expected.
