🔆 Light Requirements

• Ideal Light: Bright, indirect light keeps the plant full and vibrant.

• Tolerates: Some gentle morning sun.

• Avoid: Low light (causes leggy stems) and direct harsh afternoon sun (can scorch leaves).

💧 Watering Guidelines

• When to Water: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry before watering.

• Frequency: Every 7–10 days in warm months; reduce slightly in winter.

• Tip: China Doll dislikes both overwatering and drying out completely—keep moisture balanced.

🌾 Soil & Potting

• Soil: Well-draining mix (garden soil + cocopeat + perlite/ sand).

• Pot: Use a pot with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

🌱 Fertilization

• Feed: Every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer.

• Type: Balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.

• Skip: Feeding in winter when growth naturally slows.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Prune: Trim leggy or overly long stems to keep a compact, bushy shape.

• Cleaning: Wipe leaves gently to maintain shine and healthy respiration.

• Repotting: Every 1–2 years or once the roots fill the pot.

🪴 Humidity & Temperature

• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity; occasional misting helps prevent leaf drop.

• Temperature: Ideal range 18–28°C (65–82°F). Keep away from drafts and AC vents.

⚠️ Toxicity

• Caution: Generally considered non-toxic, but ingestion may cause mild stomach upset. Safe for most homes with pets.
