The Radermachera sinica (China doll) is a fairly easy-care foliage plant, and its flowers are quite beautiful too. With auspicious symbolism, a handsome plant shape, and full of lively energy, it is a delight to the eye. It likes high temperatures and humidity, fears the cold, enjoys plenty of sunlight yet tolerates shade, and is generally grown indoors for ornamental viewing. How should you grow a Radermachera sinica so it becomes thick and vigorous, and even blooms? Today let us learn together how the young lady next door grows hers.
For a potted Radermachera sinica, use loose, fertile loam or sandy loam that drains well and is rich in organic matter. Besides choosing good-quality soil, it is best to sprinkle some base fertilizer at the bottom of the soil, as this helps the Radermachera sinica grow vigorously. In summer, a potted Radermachera sinica should be watered once every 3 to 4 days, though this also depends on the individual situation.
The Radermachera sinica quite likes sunlight. If it is kept in a place without sunlight for a long time, its leaves will droop even when water and nutrients are sufficient, so you should appropriately increase the light. If conditions allow, we can place it on a well-lit balcony; a living room with good light will also do, or somewhere with light such as beside a window.
During the growing season, you can appropriately increase the amount of fertilizer, as this is what lets the Radermachera sinica grow lush. Water in a quick-acting liquid fertilizer once a month; usually decomposed cake fertilizer can be used. You can regularly apply a small amount of slow-release compound granular fertilizer. The flowering period of the Radermachera sinica is from May to September; using phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in spring can effectively promote its blooming.
