My youngest curry leaf plant #5, two years old. It is 19cm (almost 8 inches) tall from the soil level. I just did pinching a couple of weeks ago. This is its second summer. All I need to do is to cut the plant about a few centimeter (one inch) from its top. It is […]

I left my curry leaf #4 with over wintering three times so far, in a living room for some time because I was busy with myself. Then I realized that the plant with two branches had new buds shooting at the very top of each branch. it is no good to leave as it is, […]

My 3rd curry leaf plant was pruned in July, in order to have new buds to come out. There were 3 new buds, but after several weeks since then, there is only healthy one while the remaining two were wilted and withered. As I have been advocating to prune the plant to increase number of […]
