Advantages of Planting Murraya in Pots or Containers
Planting murraya in containers is helpful if you live somewhere with colder winters, as murraya will not tolerate freezing temperatures.
If you have them in containers, you can move your murraya indoors or in a greenhouse as soon as the temperature drops.
Even if you do not need to move them indoors, having murraya in pots means you have the option to move them around in the garden if it suits you. You can also choose decorative containers to complement the whole landscape as well.
Murraya Bonsai Plants
Some murraya varieties are so small and compact that they are used as bonsai plants.
This Japanese art of growing small trees in tiny containers has become popular around the world over the years.

Transplanting Murraya from One Pot to Another
If you have a murraya plant in another pot and you want to transfer it to a different one, wet the soil first before removing from the original container.
Make sure not to damage the roots of the murraya plant. Pull it all in one piece and transfer to the new pot.
Make sure that the container is at least twice as wide as the root ball of your murraya plant.
Backfill and water your transplanted murraya thoroughly.
