Australian Umbrella Tree (Schefflera actinophylla) (Large)

The China Doll Plant (Radermachera sinica) is a lush, tropical live plant suited to vivarium and terrarium setups where dense foliage and natural structure are priorities. This large specimen brings immediate visual impact and genuine functional cover to any tropical enclosure.

Structure and Appearance

China Doll Plants are characterised by fine, deeply divided glossy leaves arranged in dense, layered canopies. The growth habit is upright and branching, giving the plant a full, tree-like form that works well as a centrepiece or backdrop plant within a larger enclosure.

Vivarium Suitability

This is a tropical species that thrives in warm, humid conditions — making it a natural fit for rainforest-style builds housing species such as day geckos, tree frogs, chameleons, or other humidity-dependent reptiles and amphibians. The dense leaf coverage provides both shelter and visual breaks that help occupants feel secure.

Live Plant Benefits

• Contributes to humidity regulation within the enclosure
• Supports naturalistic behaviour — climbing, resting, and sheltering
• Improves enclosure aesthetics with genuine, living greenery
• Can assist with air quality when part of a bioactive setup

Supplied as a large live plant, this China Doll is ready to introduce directly into a suitable tropical vivarium. As with all live plants, ensure lighting and humidity levels match the species' requirements for long-term health.
