The China Doll Bush (Radermachera sinica), also known as Serpent Tree or Emerald Tree, is a tropical evergreen native to Southeast Asia. This plant is popular as a houseplant due to its glossy, feathery foliage and compact growth habit, making it an elegant addition to indoor spaces.

 

Key Features:

 

1. Foliage: The finely divided, dark green, glossy leaves resemble fern fronds, giving it a delicate, airy appearance.

 

 

2. Size: Indoors, it typically grows to 1-2 meters (3-6 feet) tall but can reach greater heights in its native habitat.

 

 

3. Growth Habit: A bushy, upright plant with a tree-like structure.

 

 

 

Care Tips:

 

1. Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct morning sun but should be protected from harsh afternoon light. Insufficient light may lead to leaf drop.

 

 

2. Watering: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while underwatering may cause leaf drop.

 

 

3. Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. Place it near a humidifier or mist occasionally to mimic its native environment.

 

 

4. Temperature: Enjoys warm conditions between 18-27°C (65-80°F). Protect it from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C (59°F).

 

 

5. Soil: Needs well-draining soil, such as a mix of potting soil, peat moss, and perlite.

 

 

6. Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

 

 

7. Pruning: Prune back leggy growth to maintain its bushy shape. Remove any yellow or dead leaves to encourage healthy growth.

 

 

 

Additional Notes:

 

Leaf Drop: Sensitive to changes in environment, such as light, temperature, or watering habits, which can cause leaves to drop. Consistent care helps minimize this.

 

Pests: Keep an eye out for spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids. Regularly clean the leaves to prevent infestations.

 

Propagation: Can be propagated through stem cuttings during the growing season.

 

 

The China Doll Bush is a relatively low-maintenance plant when its care needs are met, offering a sophisticated, tree-like appearance. Its lush foliage makes it a perfect choice for adding greenery to homes and offices.
