The China Doll is relatively new to the house plant world. Over the years it has been adapted from its origins as a full-size tree to tolerate indoor conditions. And now, you can enjoy this elegant and delicate beauty in your home. The China Doll isn't hard to care for, but it does have specific needs. Once you figure this girl out, she will make a great addition to your indoor space.

Light

China Doll does best in a space that receives between 4-5 hours of bright light a day. For best results, keep this plant within 3-4 feet of a window, and protect it from direct sunlight.

If not given enough light, China Doll can grow leggy and require more frequent pruning.

Water

Watering needs are the tricky part when caring for the China Doll. They like to stay on a consistent watering schedule, but also like to dry out a bit between watering. Do not let them sit in excess water, either. Let the top 50% of the soil dry out before watering. But monitor your plant closely so it doesn't dry out too much.

Regular misting during the winter months is also important to keep your plant happy. If leaves start to get crispy, you need to increase the humidity in the area. Keep them away from drafts, and windy areas as well.

Fertilizer

Use liquid plant food 4 times a year to keep your China Doll looking its best. Because these plants are already fast-growing, be ready to prune a bit more frequently after fertilizing.
