How to grow a Radermachera sinica (China doll) indoors? Remember 4 points for evergreen foliage all year round without yellow leaves

Radermachera sinica is a common household flowering plant and is generally grown indoors, but many gardening friends have reported many problems when growing it indoors. Below, Shitou gives a detailed introduction:

1. An important point is that when growing Radermachera sinica indoors, you must have ventilation, ventilation, ventilation! Important things should be said three times, because previously many gardening friends asked about yellow leaves and leaf drop on Radermachera sinica, and in fact most of the reasons are caused by a poorly ventilated growing environment. For home cultivation, it is recommended to place the Radermachera sinica pot in a relatively spacious and airy spot in the living room, because Radermachera sinica is a foliage plant with dense leaves. Once the environment is closed off, a stable gas environment forms around the dense leaves and branches, which easily leads to leaf drop and yellow leaves on the plant.

2. To grow Radermachera sinica, it is recommended to use loose, breathable, fertile soil. Using soil mixed with leaf mold, garden soil, and sand in equal proportions is beneficial for plant growth. In addition to fertile soil, supplementing the plant with compound fertilizer in spring and summer each year helps the growth of branches and leaves; applying phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in autumn each year ensures the plant safely overwinters.

3. Radermachera sinica likes a humid environment, but each watering should follow the principle of watering when dry and stopping when wet. Do not let water accumulate in the pot, otherwise root rot and massive leaf drop will occur. In the dry summer, in addition to normal watering, you should also spray water on the plant's leaves to supplement moisture.

4. Radermachera sinica is not cold tolerant. In winter, temperatures below 8°C will cause frost damage, so in winter Radermachera sinica should be grown indoors, and in summer the temperature should not exceed 30°C.

Warm tips:

1. Radermachera sinica is not only for viewing foliage, it can also be enjoyed for its flowers. If grown properly, from May to August each year you will see Radermachera sinica produce pale yellow flowers, which are very beautiful.

2. Radermachera sinica is not only suitable for soil cultivation, it can also be grown hydroponically. The growing method is similar to that of lucky bamboo, and it is easy to grow.

3. Radermachera sinica is a woody flowering plant, so when buying Radermachera sinica at the market, at the same price, it is recommended that everyone choose a plant with a thick trunk, as it is more worthwhile.
