Radermachera / China Doll in 8 Inch Nursery Pot

Radermachera, commonly known as the China Doll plant, is a popular evergreen houseplant valued for its lacy, glossy foliage and elegant tree-like appearance.

• Air Purification: It improves indoor air quality by filtering common toxins like formaldehyde, benzene, and carbon monoxide.
• Stress Reduction: Presence of the plant is linked to decreased cortisol levels, promoting a sense of calm and mental well-being.
• Aesthetic Appeal: Its compact, bushy structure makes it a versatile decor piece for tabletops, shelves, or floors in modern minimalist interiors.
• Symbolism: In Feng Shui, it represents resilience, prosperity, and harmony.
• Non-Toxic: It is generally safe for households with pets and children.

Care Instructions

• Light: Provide bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the delicate leaves.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. It is sensitive to both overwatering (causes root rot) and underwatering (causes leaf drop).
• Humidity: It thrives in high humidity (50–70%). Use a humidifier, mist the leaves daily, or place it on a pebble tray with water.
• Temperature: Maintain a stable range between 65°F and 75°F (18°C–24°C). Keep it away from cold drafts, air vents, or heaters.
• Soil: Use a rich, well-draining potting mix. Adding perlite or sand can help improve drainage.
• Fertilization: Feed with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Do not fertilize in winter.
• Pruning: Regular pruning is necessary to maintain its compact shape and prevent it from becoming "leggy".
