    How to Maintain Murraya paniculata

    • Pruning: Prune as needed to maintain the desired shape and size of the shrub. Light pruning can be done throughout the year, but major pruning should be done after the flowering period to encourage denser growth.

    • Fertilization: Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring to promote healthy growth. Follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding dosage and application method.

    • Pests and diseases: Murraya paniculata is generally resilient to pests and diseases. However, regular monitoring is recommended to address any potential issues promptly.
