A China Doll was given to me about 23 yrs ago by co-workers as a get well gift. It seemed to do well for a while then had a suffering spell. I stuck it outside thinking it would have to be tossed, but eveb tho we lived in Huntington Beach CA and the patio was shady it survived. The next house was even more hectic as I had 2 jobs and less time to care for it but it had grown quite bit on the shady patio (not much rain but lots of moist air from the ocean a few blocks away). This continued thru three more moves, in/out, in/out. The last place I hade my son-in-law plant it in the front of the condo, it was about 4 or 5 ft tall. I never thought it would get over 6 or 7 ft tall. We planted it ubder the eaves of the one story house and next thing we know it is curling out & up around the eaves. That ‘Doll’ didn’t stop untill she was well over 20 feet. and the flowers do have a most pleasent scent.

I work in a greenhouse at a college, and the China Doll that we have is large. even though they lose their leaves, do not throw them away, they will grow back. It is common, but dont worry unless you already threw it away..=. When they leaves fall off, check the stems for buds, if you see little buds and formations then it will be okay, It will spring back in the Spring!

My china Doll Plant is now above the roof of our house, it is in the front garden, gets early morning sun, then shade for the rest of the day. It has a white flower and has continually flowered since February and the perfume of the flower is very strongly scented. I live on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria Australia. It also gets very little water, mainly only when it rains. It is a real specimen tree in the garden.

I have had a china doll for years, I am in Brisbane Australia, my tree is about 20 ft. tall, in the garden. Every couple of years it gets lopped, and is more lovely each time. It is pretty much in full sun and completely neglected. It only gets watered by the rain.

Maria: I water mind twice a day and it’s thriving, but then it is very hot here. When the leaves start to point down, I water it immediately and they perk back up. I don’t think yours is getting enough water.
