China Doll Shots?


A China Doll or Radermachera sinica is a beautiful tree that comes from China and Taiwan. The China Doll has wonderful shaped leaves with a glossy green hue. 


These are cuttings from my main plant. I have heard many sites say to throw the cuttings away because they are difficult to grow but I have not had a problem. It may be that my apartment is the perfect atmosphere for these little starts because I am not doing anything special.  

I trim the main plant, dip the ends in a rooting hormone and stick them in the shot glass with some water. The parts I am cutting are still green and on the softer side. Typically I will see roots within 7 – 10 days. 

DON’T THROW OUT THE CUTTINGS!!
