●Know the China Doll Houseplant Better: Features and Benefits of the Plant

The China Doll plant is known for its lovely aesthetic and ease of care. Here are a few of its features and benefits that will make you fall in love with the idea of having a China Doll plant indoors!

1. Elegant Appearance

With its delicate, glossy leaves, the China Doll plant has a classy and elegant appearance. Its large growth and wonderfully shaped leaves allow it to fit perfectly into any and every kind of home decor, making this plant a highly decorated and celebrated one in the world of gardening and home decoration.
When mature, a large China Doll plant can reach up to 4-6 feet indoors, making it a striking focal point in any room.

2. China Doll Plant Flower

When indoors, the China Doll plant does not flower much - like the Peperomia Green plant. However, if cared for properly and kept in the right environment, China Dolls can flower to showcase small, white, and inconspicuous flowers. As a gardener, seeing even the smallest flower on your plant will make you feel super satisfied and proud!
Moreover, should you ever choose to repot this plant as a China Doll tree outdoors, you will be able to grow bigger white flowers on the tree and the catch is that these stunning flowers bloom only for one night and disappear come the morning sun!

3. Air Purification

The indoor China Doll plant, much like quite a few indoor plants, is known for its ability to cleanse and purify the air around it. It filters out commonly found indoor pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and other particulate matter. In turn, it releases extra oxygen into its environment, helping you create a safer, healthier, and cleaner space indoors for you and your loved ones.

4. Low Maintenance… Relatively

Just when you thought it doesn’t get any better… we’re here to tell you that this stunning indoor plant is also relatively low maintenance! The China Doll plant is known for its ability to thrive without too much human attention and interference once you’ve met its light and soil requirements. However, it is preferred that you have some gardening experience and know-how to understand the kind of care this plant demands.
Now that you know why the China Doll is such a popular houseplant, let’s look at some of its basic demands and care requirements:

●China Doll Plant Care Indoors: Some Basics You Must Know

While relatively low maintenance, the China Doll plant is still a little particular about some of its demands. So, here are some things you must know to allow your indoor China Doll plant to thrive:

1. Large China Doll Plant Light Requirements

When understanding the basics of how to care for China Doll plants indoors, the most essential thing to understand is that they need just the right amount and kind of light. They need bright, indirect light and can also work well with filtered sunlight. So, you can do two things -
1. Place them near a window that receives bright but indirect sunlight, or
2. Place your China Doll near a window that has a sheer, slightly stronger curtain that will allow some filtered sunlight to pass through.
The balanced light will ensure optimal growth because direct sunlight can scorch its leaves and insufficient light can cause leggy growth.

2. China Doll Plant Watering

Hailing from the subtropical regions of the Asian continent, the China Doll plant loves its humidity and moist soil. But keep in mind that when we say moist, we do not mean overwatered soil. If you water the China Doll plant every day, it can easily get overwatered and waterlogged. To ensure a proper balance of even watering, you must do 2 things:
a. Water your plant with proper watering cans so all parts of it can get enough water without the foliage being damaged in any way, and b. Water it only once a week to avoid overwatering. If you’re unable to tell when the right time for watering is, then use Ugaoo’s Sustee Watermeter - a device that will tell you the perfect time to water your plant again. It will give you a blue indication when the plant is perfectly watered and a white one when it needs watering. So, keep an eye out!

3. Humidity & Temperature for the China Doll

As we mentioned before, the indoor China Doll plant loves its humidity too. So, mist your plant regularly to provide its foliage and roots with adequate moisture & humidity. If you’re unable to mist it, use a humidity tray. This is basically a tray filled with water and lined with pebbles, allowing the water to evaporate faster to reach your plant.
Additionally, remember that this indoor houseplant prefers a warmer climate and environment. So, it will do well in our regular indoor spaces.

4. China Doll Plant Fertilizer & Soil

Use a well-draining potting mix to prevent waterlogging. Ugaoo’s Pot-o-Mix will give you the perfect mix with enhanced drainage and perfect aeration. It is a mix of 11 essential ingredients including Perlite and Cocopeat.
Ensure that you feed this plant with a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during its growing season to support healthy growth. You can also use a balanced fertilizer like Ugaoo’s Seaweed Plant Tonic to support better growth.

5. Pest and Disease Control

Keep an eye out for common houseplant pests like spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs. If you do happen to spot any pests on your precious plant, treat the infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
Happy gardening and we hope you enjoy the companionship of your China Doll plant!
