Certified ExpertA.You should try transplanting into a container that is not much larger than the one it is in now. You will have to do this until the roots appear through the new container, and until the proper size is reached. Putting these into a container too big will lead to rotting and the death of the seedling, since there are no roots to take up all of the water through the soil.
This will be a very careful process each time, not to disturb the roots.
This article will help you once you get it into a container and it takes root: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/china-doll/radermachera-sinica.htm

Why does my China doll not flower. I have several and all are very bushy and planted outside

December 11, 2018A.Since these are outdoors, then it is likely that you are outside of their growing zone which would keep it from flowering properly. These are suited for tropical climates, and are not suited for the cold. I am unable to look up your zipcode as there is a missing number. Zipcodes are 5 digits long, and there are only 4. I can, however, give you an article which will guide you on proper care: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/china-doll/china-doll-plants-outside.htm

Certified ExpertA.I tried to find information about how to germinate seeds for this plant, but most of the info
addresses how to grow it from cuttings. I would suggest that if you purchased seeds at a nursery that you contact them for instructions. The only snippet I could find says that they need light for germination and should not be covered.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/china-doll/china-doll-plant-propagation.htm

Certified ExpertA.It likes to be potbound, so transplanting can cause it to drop its leaves. If you take care to make sure it's not overwatered and has good drainage, it should snap back. It also may be experiencing transplant shock but should perk up soon. Here are a few articles that should help:

Certified ExpertA.This happens with any small change. Likely, the conditions in your house are different than the conditions where the plant was before. They are very sensitive. Providing the best care will give it the best chance of acclimating to your home. This article will help:
