Plant care-how does one care for a china doll plant?

Answers:
"China Doll" is a beautiful, fast growing plant with soft, delicate looking foliage. Keep your "China Doll" in bright light to help keep the compact shape the plant had when your first purchased it. Check for water 3 times per week until you become accustomed to the plants water needs. Keep the soil moist... occasionally allowing the soil dry down to near wilting point. Over time your plant may become leggy, just cut it back to where ever you like... and watch it grow again. The cuttings are difficult to root.
"China Dolls" are available as bush form in small 3" starter plants to large 10" floor plants. A good "China Doll" should have plenty of foliage from the top to the bottom of the plant. A plant that is leggy at the bottom has been neglected.
