I was given one in a pot and seems to be doing well, with new foliage, so I
must be doing something right :-)

It is about 1-1/2 to 2 ft high,  would like to take a cutting from it and
start another pot, is this possible please?

If so which part can I cut off?

Thank you in advance
Katherine

easy peasy.  take cuttings from an actively growing part of plant. it
should be
roughly the same thickness as a ? hmm not as thick as pencil
anyway but strong
enough to support itself upright. take cutting in
spring/summer and remove 75 %
of foliage cut on angle just below leaf
bud and stick in sandy mix keep moist
and wait a few weeks. i would take
ten or so and expect 50 percent success.keep
out of direct sun and good
luck. i place shopping bag over entire pot with 5 to
20 cuttings inside
and place on saucer. been a while since i have taken any
murraya
cuttings as my garden grown bushes are constantly self seeding. with a
little help from the birds....cheers kris.
