China Doll Plant

Question

My china doll plant has turned into a 5 foot stick with a few leaves at the top. Can I cut it down to a normal size plant without killing it? It drops it leaves when I bring it into the house over winter and usually sprouts again when spring arrives and it is on the deck.

Answer 1

Yes, you can cut it back. In fact, this plant often requires regualr pruning to keep it looking good. Here's an article on its care: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/china-doll/radermachera-sinica.htm
