I purchased a Radermachera (China doll) about a week ago. I've watered the plant once since I've had it (one week). I understand that the plant should not be drowned in water, its soil should be dry to the touch. I also know that my plant should have indirect light. I am totally baffled to what that means. Does it mean that the plant should be right next to a window? I have fallen in love with the China doll (Radermachera). I had this type of plant before and I was not able to keep the plant healthy.
Indirect light means simply bright light that is not directly in the sunlight. In other words, locate it in or near a window (or room) that receives plenty of light but is not direct sunlight.
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.
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

I bought a beautiful China Doll plant and it did really well in the beginning, but seems to not be doing so well now. The branches are becoming weak, the leaves are turning brown and crumbly, and it looks as if it is wilting all the time. What is wrong and how do I nurse her back to health?
Check the temperature where it's located. Temperature fluctuations can cause problems for this plant. It may also be in need of additonal watering. You can prune back the poor looking growth.

I have been given a China Doll houseplant as a gift. I have 3 house cats and was wondering if the plant is toxic. I got on a few web sites that list toxic and non-toxic plants. The China Doll houseplant was not listed in the toxic catagory. However, it wasn't listed in the non-toxic catagory either. I didn't know if the China Doll houseplant went by another name. Can you give me help on this? Is the China Doll houseplant safe for cats?
