HOW TO GROW
CHINA DOLL TREES
Preferably use a sterile peat medium.
Seeds should be sown at least 2cm apart
and directly on to moistened surface! You can cover with
vermiculite to allow some light to penetrate to the seeds,
but keep them moist at the same time!
China Doll seeds need light to activate germination.
These seeds MUST stay moist at all times, drying
out of the medium (peat/soil) will kill them.
Note: They are also prone to rot, using an
additive to your medium like BANROT
can aid with this.
Step 2
A warm greenhouse is an ideal location
for germination. Alternatively cover pot/s with
plastic wrap or glass (this will keep warmth
and humidity inside pot and also help retain
moisture).
Optimal soil temperature for germination
is a minimum of 25 degrees Celsius /
80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Once germination begins at approximately
2-4 weeks in optimal conditions, if covered
with plastic wrap or glass etc, expose
some of the pot to allow air circulation
and assist seedlings in adapting to
its future conditions.
Step 3
China Dolls can be transplanted when they
reach approximately 3". Use a granular fertiliser
at this time also.
Best grown indoors
and trimmed to
ensure plant/s
doesn’t grow taller than 6 feet.
Can be grown
outdoors if temperatures
are consistently above 15 degrees Celsius.
Keep watered and
position in sunlight
for at least 4 hours per day.
Step 4
The final resting
position should be in
full sun if
planted outdoors.
China Dolls can begin
flowering in 2-3 years.
