China Doll Plant (Radermachera sinica) 🌿

A lush indoor plant with delicate, glossy, fern-like foliage and a compact, tree-like form. Perfect for bright indoor spaces where its elegant structure can shine.

🔆 Light Requirements

• Ideal Light: Bright, indirect sunlight.

• Tolerates: Filtered light.

• Avoid: Low light—causes legginess and leaf drop. Direct sun may scorch the leaves.

💧 Watering Guidelines

• When to Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry.

• Frequency: About once a week in warm months; less in winter.

• Tip: Sensitive to overwatering—ensure good drainage and never allow soil to stay soggy.

🌾 Soil & Potting

• Soil: Well-draining potting mix (loam + compost + perlite).

• Pot: Container with drainage holes; avoid pots that are too large to prevent excess moisture retention.

🌱 Fertilization

• Feed: Every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring–summer).

• Type: Balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength.

• Skip: Fertilizer in fall and winter.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Prune: Regular light pruning helps maintain bushiness and prevents leggy growth.

• Cleaning: Wipe leaves gently to enhance shine and health.

• Repotting: Every 2 years or when roots become dense—avoid frequent repotting as China Doll prefers stable conditions.

🪴 Humidity & Temperature

• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity; mist occasionally to prevent leaf drop in dry environments.

• Temperature: Ideal range 18–27°C (65–80°F). Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

⚠️ Toxicity

• Safe: Generally considered non-toxic to pets and children.
