Recently, some gardening enthusiasts have asked how to grow Murraya paniculata. To cultivate it well, one must first understand its characteristics. Murraya paniculata mostly grows in the five southern provinces of China, indicating that it prefers warm conditions and is not cold-resistant. Like other positive trees, Murraya paniculata is suitable for cultivation in a sunny location and thrives in higher temperatures, around 20-32°C. It prefers fertile and loose soil and is drought-resistant. Now, let's have the editor introduce the cultivation from four aspects: light, soil, temperature, and water.
I. Light
Murraya paniculata enjoys sunlight and should be placed in a well-lit area during growth. However, it should be noted that direct sunlight should be avoided when caring for Murraya paniculata, as it may cause the leaves to turn yellow and the fragrance to weaken. Therefore, the best location for caring for Murraya paniculata is a sunny balcony or windowsill.
II. Soil
Murraya paniculata is not particular about soil, but the most suitable soil for growth is loose, fertile, and rich in organic matter. Before planting, a mixture of garden soil rich in humus and sandy loam can be used to create a well-draining sandy soil, which is beneficial for the growth and propagation of Murraya paniculata.
III. Temperature
The optimal temperature for the growth of Murraya paniculata is 20-32°C. At this temperature, if there is sufficient sunlight and good ventilation, it can make the plant lush with abundant leaves and a full bloom of fragrant flowers, and can extend the blooming period under higher temperatures. In winter, when it is cold, it should be moved indoors to overwinter. At low room temperatures, the leaves may fall faster, and below 0°C, it may even enter a dormant state.
IV. Water
Murraya paniculata is drought-resistant and does not require excessive watering. It is important to prevent excessive water accumulation that could lead to root rot. When watering, follow the principle of "do not water when dry, water thoroughly when watering." In the hot summer, water can be given twice a day, morning and evening. In winter, the watering time can be chosen based on the moisture level of the potting soil, and watering once every few days is sufficient.
