Dunce Cap cuttings easily form roots even when no sign of roots are present and grow very quickly in the warm weather. You will notice air roots already formed on some of these cutting stems. If the variegation looks a little dull don't worry they do this when they go dry but are extremely hardy putting out lots of tiny air roots looking for water. As soon as they are re-hydrated the strong colours in the variegation returns. As they grow larger and put out many new offsets you will find some with extreme variegation too. They can also turn a lovely pink colour given less water as shown in images 1, 5 & 6.

Variegated Chinese Dunce Cap plants are very prolific, giving many offsets quickly from a single plant. They are fast growers in Spring Summer and Autumn going dormant over winter. They are frost hardy to -10°C and will survive being buried under snow as they do in China where they originate from. Though delicate they are much hardier than they look and are very easy to propagate even from the smallest offsets.

To propagate Variegated Chinese Dunce Caps from cuttings, simply remove offsets from the mother plant or take stem cuttings during the growing season. Ensure that the cuttings have sufficient roots, and plant them in well-draining soil in a small pot. Water sparingly until the cuttings establish themselves, and keep them in bright, indirect light. The cuttings should root quickly and start producing new growth within a few weeks.
