China doll plants require bright light and moist conditions. When China doll plant starting, heated sunrooms and greenhouses make suitable locations for the cuttings. Once the cuttings have begun putting out roots, they can be transplanted to another container and care should be given just as with the mother plant. Keep the soil moist, occasionally allowing it to dry some to avoid any potential problems with fungus. Increase watering as new foliage develops, decreasing once the China doll plant goes dormant.

With a little patience, China doll plant propagation is not only possible but well worth the additional effort.
