China doll plants are broadleaf evergreens that have a moderately fast growth rate. These plants have small, glossy green leaves and an upward growth habit that can reach 4 to 6 tall at maturity. As young China doll plants grow, they become trees with woody stems and a thick, lush canopy. Young China doll plants are small and compact, making them perfect desk decor or a lovely addition to brightly lit counter tops, tables, or window sills. More mature plants can be planted either outside or inside for that evergreen look.
