Product Specifications
The Radermachera plant, commonly known as the China Doll Plant (Radermachera sinica), is a striking and elegant indoor plant renowned for its lush, glossy foliage. Native to China and Taiwan, this plant is admired for its dark green, leathery leaves that are arranged in a feather-like pattern, creating a dense, tropical appearance. Typically growing to a height of 3-6 feet (0.9-1.8 meters) indoors, Radermachera has a bushy, upright growth habit that can add a touch of sophistication to any interior space. It thrives in bright, indirect light but is adaptable to lower light conditions, though its growth may slow and its foliage may become less vibrant in such environments. The plant prefers consistently moist soil, allowing the top inch to dry out between waterings, and enjoys warm temperatures, ideally between 60-75°F (16-24°C). Moderate to high humidity is beneficial, and occasional misting can help maintain moisture levels in dry indoor conditions. With its striking appearance and relatively easy care requirements, the China Doll Plant is a popular choice for adding a touch of tropical elegance to homes and offices.
