🌞 Growing & Care Guide for China Doll Plant (Common Names: China Doll Plant, Serpent Tree, Emerald Tree)

☀️ Sunlight & Soil

   • Prefers bright, indirect light near east or west-facing windows

   • Avoid harsh direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn

   • Grows best in moist, well-drained potting soil with neutral to slightly acidic pH

   • Mix in perlite or sand if extra drainage is needed

💧 Watering

   • Water when the top inch of soil feels dry

   • Keep soil moist but never soggy to prevent root rot

   • Choose pots with drainage holes and avoid standing water

   • Yellow leaves = underwatering; black tips = overwatering

🌱 Fertilization

   • Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted by half

   • During fall and winter, reduce feeding to once every other month

✂️ Pruning

   • Regular pruning maintains shape and prevents legginess

   • Trim unruly or dead stems anytime throughout the year

   • Encourages bushier, healthier growth

🍂 Mulching

   • Indoor plants benefit from light mulching with coco peat or organic compost

   • Helps retain soil moisture and regulate root temperature

🐛 Pest & Disease Control

   • Prone to mealybugs, spider mites, and scale

   • Spray neem oil or insecticidal soap when pests appear

   • Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot and fungal issues

🌱 Support for Young Plants

   • Young China doll plants like smaller pots for root-bound growth

   • Use terracotta containers for natural airflow around roots

   • Rotate plants regularly for even leaf growth

🍎 Harvesting

   • China Doll Plant is grown as an ornamental houseplant, not for edible harvest

   • "Harvesting" refers to trimming leaves and stems for shaping or propagation

🍃 Thinning

   • Thin crowded branches to improve airflow and reduce pest problems

   • Maintain balanced, symmetrical growth indoors

❄️ Winter Protection

  • Protect from temperatures below 60°F (15°C)

  • Avoid cold drafts and heating vents

   • Mist leaves or use a humidifier to combat dry winter air
