Recently, some flower enthusiasts have inquired about how to cultivate Murraya exotica. To cultivate it well, one must first understand its characteristics. Murraya exotica mostly grows in the five southern provinces of China, indicating that it prefers a warm climate and is not cold-resistant. Like other positive trees, Murraya exotica is suitable for cultivation in a sunny location and requires a relatively high growth temperature, around 20~32℃. It favors fertile and loose soil and is very drought-resistant. The following sections will introduce four aspects: light, soil, temperature, and water, by the editor for flower enthusiasts.
I. Light
Murraya exotica 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 exotica, as it may cause the leaves to turn yellow and weaken the fragrance. Therefore, the best location for caring for Murraya exotica is a sunny balcony or windowsill.
II. Soil
Murraya exotica is not picky about soil, but the most suitable soil for its growth is loose, fertile, and rich in organic matter. Before planting, one can choose to mix garden soil rich in humus with sandy loam to create a well-draining sandy soil, which is beneficial for the growth and propagation of Murraya exotica.
III. Temperature
The optimal growth temperature for Murraya exotica is 20~32℃. Under this temperature, if there is sufficient sunlight and good ventilation, it can make the Murraya exotica branches and leaves flourish and the flowers fragrant, and can extend the flowering period under higher temperatures. In winter cold conditions, it should be moved indoors to overwinter. If the room temperature is too low, it will accelerate the shedding of leaves, and below 0℃, it may even enter a dormant state.
IV. Water
Murraya exotica is drought-resistant and does not require excessive watering. Accumulation of water should be prevented to avoid root rot.
