How to Plant Murraya paniculata

Select a spot in your garden that receives full sun to part shade. Ensure the soil is well-draining and enriched with organic matter.

Dig a hole that is slightly wider and slightly shallower than the root ball of the shrub.

Mix some compost or well-rotted manure into the soil to improve its fertility and drainage.

Carefully remove the shrub from its container and gently loosen the roots. Place it in the center of the hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with or slightly above the surrounding soil.

Backfill the hole with the soil mixture, gently firming it around the roots to eliminate air pockets. Avoid compacting the soil too much.

Give the shrub a deep watering immediately after planting to settle the soil and ensure good root-to-soil contact.

Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the shrub, leaving a gap around the trunk to prevent moisture buildup.
