Murraya paniculata (Orange Jasmin)
Murraya paniculata, also known as Orange jasmine or mock orange, is an exotic, evergreen shrub with dense, glossy foliage and intensely fragrant white flowers. It blooms intermittently throughout the year, and its flowers emit a sweet scent similar to orange blossoms. It grows up to 2-3 m in its natural environment but can be kept smaller through pruning. It is an ideal plant for gardens, terraces, or indoors, where it adds a tropical and elegant touch.
Care instructions:
• Light: Prefers bright light, with direct sun or partial shade. Indoors, place it in a bright spot near a window.
• Temperature: Thrives at temperatures between 18-30°C (64-86°F) but does not tolerate cold. In winter, protect it from temperatures below 10°C (50°F).
• Watering: Requires regular watering, keeping the soil slightly moist but not waterlogged. Avoid water stagnation at the roots.
• Soil: Grows well in fertile, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. A mix of universal potting soil with sand or perlite for drainage is recommended.
• Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity. Indoors, occasional misting or a humidifier can be beneficial.
• Fertilizing: Fertilize monthly during the warm season (spring-summer) with a balanced fertilizer for flowering plants.
• Pruning: Can be pruned to maintain a compact shape and encourage branching. Regular trimming helps keep a dense and healthy appearance.
Murraya paniculata is ideal as an indoor and terrace plant during the warm season. This plant offers an exotic fragrance and a lush look, making it perfect for tropical plant lovers who want a relaxing atmosphere in their space.
