China Doll Plant (Table Size)

Small glossy leaves crowd the branches above one firm trunk.

Koreans call it nokbosu and read it as wealth, fortune and prosperity. The leaves carry a shine that comes up well under office lighting.

It likes a bright room with air moving through. A cupful of water once the surface of the compost has dried is enough, and an occasional misting keeps the leaf tips from drying out. It sits in a white cylindrical pot with a saucer, the compost finished with black stones and moss.

In Korea a plant like this is a common opening gift, and it stays on the counter or the desk for years.

Looking after it

• Light Bright indoors, out of direct sun. Scorched leaves do not grow back.
• Water When the top of the soil is dry, water until it runs out of the bottom. Little and often does more harm than good.
• Air Somewhere the air moves. Roots suffer in a closed corner.
• Winter Keep it above 10°C and out of the path of a heater.
• Leaves Wipe the dust off now and then. Clean leaves breathe.
