Murraya serrulata, alias Senecio scandens, is an evergreen shrub of Rutaceae and Murraya, which can sometimes grow into small trees. Beautiful plant posture, beautiful branches and leaves, rich flowers. The plant height of potted plants is1~ 2m, which is multi-branched and grows upright. Dry skin is gray or light brown, often longitudinally cracked. Odd pinnate compound leaves alternate, with 3-9 leaflets, alternate, ovoid, spatulate obovate or nearly rhombic, entire, dark green and shiny. Cymes with white flowers, about 4 cm in diameter, flowering from July to10. Berries are nearly spherical with red flesh, and the fruit ripening period is from 10 to February of the following year.

Murraya murraya is produced in China, Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Taiwan Province and other tropical and subtropical areas in Asia. Sexually, the climate is warm and not cold-resistant, and potted plants are used in northern areas, and the wintering room temperature should not be lower than 5℃. I also like the humid environment and more shade-tolerant. In many shady places where flowers and trees are difficult to grow, it is lush and lush, and it is very suitable for shaded balconies and courtyards. Slightly drought-resistant, avoid waterlogging, and not strict with soil requirements, but it is better to use loose, fertile, humus-rich and permeable neutral culture soil for potted plants.

Murraya murraya can be planted in south China, and it is suitable for pot planting, and it is also a good material for making bonsai. In the Yangtze River basin and its north, it can only be planted in pots for the winter. It is not very selective in soil, and grows best in deep, fertile and loose neutral sandy loam. Pot planting should be slightly deeper and larger, with better air permeability. If the pot is planted with plastic tube, a layer of broken hard plastic foam block should be placed at the bottom of the pot to enhance air permeability and drainage. Turn over the pots and change the soil once a year before and after the Qingming Festival, and cut off dead branches, pests and diseases, shrink and cut long branches and long branches, and thin branches that are too dense.

Water should be moderate when cultivating Murraya murraya, and water should be properly controlled before bud pregnancy to promote flower bud differentiation. After bud pregnancy and flower and fruit period, it is better to keep the pot slightly moist without waterlogging. Murraya murraya likes fertilizer, so it is advisable to mix some bone powder or NPK compound fertilizer into the culture soil when it is put into pots or turned over to change soil, and apply NPK compound fertilizer once in the growing season for about half a month, instead of applying nitrogen fertilizer alone, otherwise the branches and leaves will grow in vain and become sterile buds. In order to promote flower bud differentiation, 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution can be sprayed on the leaves once a month from April to June, and the rest can be sprayed on the roots.

Murraya murraya likes warmth, and the most suitable temperature for its growth is 20 ~ 32℃, so it is not cold-resistant. When the lowest temperature drops to about 5℃ in winter, it will be moved indoors at low temperature (5 ~10℃) for wintering, which is not conducive to exercising its cold-resistance prematurely. If the room temperature is too low, the leaves will easily fall off, which will affect the growth of the next year. If the room temperature is below 0℃, the plants may freeze to death. If the room temperature is too high, the plants can't sleep well, and even sprout indoors. When the cold air blows out of the room, the buds will retract, and when new buds are sprouted again, it will affect the growth of that year.

Murraya murraya is a positive tree species, so it should be placed in a place with sufficient sunshine and ventilation (at least five or six hours of direct light every day) to make its leaves flourish and flowers fragrant. When flowering, it can be moved to the window sill, and the room is full of fragrance. After the flowers fade, it still needs to be placed in a sunny place. The growth in the semi-shade is not as strong as that in the sunny place, and the fragrance of the flowers is also weak. If it is too shaded, the branches are soft, the leaves are light, and there are few or no flowers. Winter indoor should also be placed in a sunny place.

Family potted murraya murraya rarely bears seeds. Generally, high-pressure method is used for propagation. In May-June, branches with strong growth are selected, and the bark is cut with a sharp knife at appropriate positions. Moss and humus soil are mixed to moisturize the soil, wrapped with plastic film, and often sprayed with water to moisturize. The wound heals and grows new roots in about 2 months, and the film is cut off in September ~ 10. Don't scatter the wrapped moss humus soil and plant it in the basin. In addition, the method of dividing plants can also be used. In the spring, the root-bearing plants tillered from the roots of old plants are cut with a sharp knife, planted in pots, placed in the shade for10 ~15 days, and then moved to the sunny place for maintenance.
