Moria ornamental shrubs are also propagated by planting cuttings in a well-drained, very fertile agricultural environment. Pea tmoos + silt + sand in a ratio of 2: 1: 1
And when a suitable root system is formed, the plants are separated into suitable pots or planting bags, then the plants are rotated in larger pots, and so on until they are planted in permanent land.

As it is known that light is important for the process of photosynthesis, in which shrubs or plants use the energy they derive from the light reaching the mechanism in the representation of carbon dioxide + water to build carbohydrates, from which the rest of the other food components are created.
Increasing the amount of light beyond the need of the bushes leads to a decrease in the elongation of the internodes (the distance between one eye and the other), and it also leads to the wilting and yellowing of the leaves, then their fall.
Also, the lack of the amount of light reaching the bushes leads to elongation of the internodes, wilting and yellowing of the leaves, then softening them, and murraya paniculata become limp (saggy), and may lead to the death of the murraya paniculata.
