Kadi Pata With Pot

**Curry Leaf is a wonderful potted plant to add to your garden and herb collection. It has an upright, open growth appearance, aromatic and pungent leaves, and it will be an indoor plant for most American garden zones, since it is a tropical plant.

**You can expect your Curry Leaf plant to have flowers and vibrant green leaves throughout the spring, summer, and fall. You can also expect the leaves to drop off during its’ resting period in the winter months.

    **Curry Leaf (official name: Murraya Koenigii) comes in three different varieties: (1) Regular: these grow tall and fast and look most like the Curry leaf you buy at the grocery store; (2) Dwarf: these do not grow as tall and the leaves are lighter in color and longer than the ones you usually buy at the store; (3)Gamthi: this is the most fragrant, has thick leaves, and grows the slowest of the three.

Position:

 **No matter which of the three varieties you grow, all three need full sun, well-drained and slightly acidic soil, and temperatures over 40 degrees F.    

**If you grow it indoors in a container (which is the best method for most American garden zones), make sure you slowly increase the size of the container over the years as the plant grows.

**If it is container-grown and is in an area with excellent light and warmth in the winter, there is possibility that your curry leaf plant will not have a very long winter-resting period and might not even lose its’ leaves.

**If it is container-grown and you are planning on putting it outdoors in the warm months, be sure to acclimate it to full-sun exposure gradually and to also watch the plant carefully for sunburning issues if your weather goes over 100 degrees F.
