Radermachera, China Doll plant (Small Leaves)

The China Doll plant (Radermachera sinica) is a popular houseplant known for its attractive foliage and ease of care. It belongs to the Bignoniaceae family and is native to Southeast Asia, specifically China and Taiwan. The China Doll plant has shiny, dark green leaves that are divided into small, delicate leaflets, giving it a feathery appearance. As the plant grows, it will become bushier and more full, making it an excellent choice for filling out a corner or empty space in a room. The plant prefers well-drained soil and bright, indirect light. It does not do well in direct sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves. The China Doll plant also requires regular watering, although it is essential not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot. Pruning can help control the plant’s shape and overall size, and it is advisable to fertilize the plant occasionally to encourage healthy growth.
