3. How do you plant Murraya paniculata saplings?

Murraya paniculata can be propagated by seeds, layering, or grafting. Because small seedlings are generally used for planting, the following will explain it in detail.

1. To plant Murraya paniculata, choose flat and fertile land or sunny hilly slopes. Before planting, the land needs to be prepared, beds made, and planting holes dug. Of course, you can also use the areas beside the house, in front of and behind the house, and combine it with landscaping to plant it as a green hedge.

2. In areas with good irrigation conditions, plant Murraya paniculata in spring; in areas where conditions do not allow, choose the rainy season. In the middle of the year, if you want to apply base fertilizer to the land, then during the growing period apply a fully decomposed organic liquid fertilizer once a month. Do not water too much; keeping it moist is enough, and drain promptly when there is a lot of rain.

3. In spring, Murraya paniculata should be pruned once in combination with planting or repotting. Overdense branches and overly vigorous branches should be shortened or thinned at any time. Major pruning should be done in late October or November. Do not prune heavily during the flowering period, so as not to affect the ornamental effect. At the same time, prevent and control the invasion of pests and diseases such as powdery mildew, red spider mites, branch and twig longhorn beetles, scarab beetles, and swallowtail butterflies, and spray pesticides promptly when they are found.

In addition, everyone should be reminded that if Murraya paniculata is grown in pots, it should be repotted every two to three years, preferably in autumn from October to November and in late spring from April to May. The above is all the content introduced to you by the Tuliu.com editor.
