How do you save a Radermachera (China doll) with yellowing and falling leaves? Let me teach you a few tricks to bring it back 100%.

Radermachera likes a sunny, hot and humid environment, so when we care for it we must place it somewhere with fairly abundant light and good ventilation. If your Radermachera has problems, yellow leaves, root rot or leaf drop, you can check it from the following aspects.

1. Is the soil loose and airy?

First check whether its soil is loose and airy. If the soil is not airy, the roots cannot grow down deep, and they cannot absorb enough nutrients and water, so the plant will not grow well.

2. Is there enough light?

Radermachera loves light very much, so if the environment where you keep it is too shady, you can move it to a spot with plenty of light. Even if it is out in the full sun, it does not matter, as long as watering is sufficient there will be no problem, and it will never get yellow leaves or root rot.

3. Watering

Radermachera loves a humid environment very much, so do not let it go short of water. As long as the soil is kept loose and airy, water it every day and then put it somewhere with light, and the Radermachera will definitely grow well.

But Radermachera is also very afraid of waterlogging. If your Radermachera shows wilting leaves, a lack of vigor, or leaves dropping, you can check whether the roots are rotting.

4. Fertilizing

Radermachera grows fairly fast, so we must keep up with fertilizing. During its growing season, apply a nitrogen-based fertilizer once or twice a month, because it is a foliage plant; nitrogen and potassium fertilizer can promote leaf growth and make the stems and branches thicker and stronger. But when fertilizing, be sure to apply light fertilizer frequently, and do not damage its roots.

This small Radermachera was thrown away by someone else, and then I took it back and repotted it, using loose and airy soil. Every day I just put it outside in the full sun, and even when it is sunned like this in summer, it still grows very fast, and lots of new buds have sprouted. So Radermachera is not afraid of sun, as long as watering is sufficient.

A Radermachera raised this way grows extremely fast in summer. A Radermachera kept indoors for a long time must be regularly taken outside to get some sun and some air, so that it can stay lush and green without yellow leaves. With a Radermachera at home, the whole family is happy.
