A rare fragrant flower, blooming with a scent even sweeter than perfume, intoxicating
Whether a plant is good or not mainly depends on the person growing it. Whether the flowers we grow will give off a rich fragrance, and whether that kind of scent is one we like, also has its reasons. For example, the editor always says he really likes flowers and also likes smelling flower fragrances, but the editor does not like the scent of gardenia, because that fragrance is too strong, and he has smelled it too many times, so he dislikes it very much. But today this little friend will introduce a flower with a particularly strong fragrance that still does not make people dislike it.
The flower the editor is talking about today is Murraya paniculata (orange jasmine). Of course, I think everyone will surely rarely hear the name of this flower, but if we say Qilixiang, then everyone might still know it. Because back in the elementary school era, Jay Chou's "Qilixiang" was widely known. The fragrance of Murraya paniculata is very strong, but it smells very good, and it is even more fragrant than the perfume we apply. But now let's not talk about its fragrance first; let's talk about its medicinal value. Yes, you heard that right, it is a medicine. It has many functions. If you have a toothache or accidentally fall while walking, you can use it, because its effect is that it can relieve pain. Simply put, it is somewhat similar to an anesthetic, but not completely the same. Its medicinal value is harmless.
Next we will talk about its non-medicinal value, that is, its ornamental value. The ornamental value of Murraya paniculata is very high, because the flowers it blooms are very beautiful, pure white and flawless, giving people a very noble feeling, and the flower fragrance is rich and very pleasant. Its branches and leaves are also very special, because if you look at its leaves alone, they are very elegant, but if you look at its branches, they give a very upright feeling. That is to say, elegance and uprightness are both reflected in this plant, and together with its flowers, it is truly unique!
Next we are going to talk about its cultivation method, and this is also an indispensable step! First let's talk about Murraya paniculata's soil requirements. Actually, ordinary soil can be used to grow it, but if the soil is relatively breathable and suddenly relatively fertile, then that is even better. Although I did not say it is a requirement, everyone should know what to do, right?
When we grow Murraya paniculata, we should not place it outside for cultivation, because the temperature outside is not very suitable for the growth of Murraya paniculata. Murraya paniculata likes a relatively shady environment, so the position where we keep it must be able to block sunlight, but not block it all; it still needs to absorb some sunlight. Also, when we grow Murraya paniculata at home, we must water it often. If you think its soil is very moist and it does not need frequent watering, we should still keep the surrounding environment moist, so we can spray some water into the surrounding environment.
Because we are growing Murraya paniculata in flower pots, the nutrients in the soil are limited. Not long after growing Murraya paniculata, the nutrients inside will be absorbed completely, so we need to apply some fertilizer irregularly to supplement nutrients and promote its growth.
