Table Kamini Sapling (Murraya paniculata | Outdoor / Indoor Fragrant Shrub)

Description

These are young, petite versions of our popular Kamini plants which are scientifically called Murraya paniculata. Popularly called as Orange Jessamine or Mock Orange in English, Kamini is one of the most aromatic flowering shrubs that one can plant in India. Table Kamini remains a short and bushy plant, whereas the full size shrub grows into a dense hedge which fits it nicely in the corner for tablets, balconies, window sills, or small garden areas. The glossy dark green leaves never lose their charm and are there throughout the year and the petite white blooms add beauty and a wonderful jasmine like fragrance to the atmosphere.

In Indian houses, there’s a cherished spot for Kamini. You often spot many families cultivating it near the main door, courtyard, or balcony of their house for the pleasant fragrance of its flowers, which is at its peak in the evening.

With time, Kamini can grow into a lovely and tidy plant that forms a dense bushy structure.

Important Notes

• Table Kamini sapling will be a living organism. Natural differences in size, leaf-shape, and stem counts are to be expected due to variations in individual growth stages.
• Some leaves might fall off the Table Kamini plant due to transit stress. Simply provide it with light and water sparingly after it arrives and expect new growth within about 1 week.
• As the sapling plant primarily establishes roots and doesn't focus on flowering, if you do not see a flower in your plant as soon as possible, don't worry!
• Do not place your sapling plant into an excessively dark condition. The plant must get sunlight and grow to bloom.
• The flowers appear throughout the year, most often stimulated by dry conditions which then result in irrigation or rain. As it rains or irrigates the ground then the flowers seem to come up in bursts.
• In areas that experience extremely cold winters or frost, protect your saplings of the kamini plant, as saplings are more susceptible to cold than the fully grown plant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When my Table Kamini plantlet arrives, will it be in bloom?

A: Not likely, and don't worry-that is totally fine. A young plant’s main priority once potted is getting its root system well established. After it spends time growing, and gaining strength in the following weeks, the Kamini will start to put out those sweet white flowers. It is good at blooming on and off all year long, and those times of dry heat then watering really encourage a spectacular show.

Q: Can I grow Table Kamini indoors?

A: Keep near a sunny window. They have a great appetite for light (a minimum of 4 hours each day of direct or brilliant indirect light); the east and south-facing windows work great! In a dim room this plant will put up with the challenge but may produce reduced growth and bloom. Best grown outside (or on a sunny balcony, after seedling stage).

Q:How frequently do I need to water my Table Kamini seedling?

A:If the soil holds more water it can get you by 2 or 3 days, otherwise you’ll have to give your sapling a splash of water every two or three days, more if it’s hot outside. It will need more water when the weather is hot and less when it’s cool. When unsure, give your sapling more, but make sure that the pot doesn’t have water collecting inside-it can damage the roots!

A: Whenever roots are showing from the drainage hole of the pot, or when the growth slows down of the plant even after due care and watering.
