About Satin Wood / Madhu Kamini
Satin Wood (Murraya paniculata), commonly known as Chinese box, Mock orange, or Madhu Kamini, is a tropical evergreen shrub or small tree closely related to citrus. It's grown as an ornamental hedge or specimen plant for its glossy, glabrous dark-green leaves and small, white, bell-shaped flowers with an aromatic orange-like fragrance that appear throughout the year.
Growing Conditions
- Sunlight: Full sun to partial shade.
- Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic content.
- Water: Water when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry, keeping moisture near the root zone.
Planting & Placement
Commonly grown as a hedge or ornamental shrub outdoors, though it also does well in a large pot on a bright balcony or terrace. Works well near seating areas where its fragrance can be enjoyed.
Care
