Houseplants - China Doll
Back to Houseplants

'Q' (Question)  (October) I have a "house plant" that I have had about 4 years. It was small now it is about 4 feet tall. I was told it is called "China Doll". The first winter I kept it in the house, it nearly died. It flourishes outdoors in the summer and really grows. The next few winters I have kept it in the garage near a window. Can this plant survive outdoors in southern Arkansas?

'A' (Answer)  China doll is strictly a houseplant. It would not survive outdoors regardless of the protection. Mine does very well with limited care indoors. Allow it to dry out in between watering, give it bright indirect light, and it should be fine, or continue to move it to your garage.
