Quote from: mickyp on May 22, 2019, 09:37 AM...I cut the plant back in spring and harvested all the leaves in vacuum bags i have about 6 packs,..

That sounds like a very decent harvest! It'll be a wee while before my twig evolves into a stick lol!

No, I didn't buy the Centre's citrus feed as I already have some for my lemon tree. I'll just have to work my way through the bags of dried curry leaves until the tree matures a bit.

They like Epsom Salts too, is it sprouting yet?

Sprouting? Hoho! It's still a twig - but a bigger, bushier twig! It's looking very healthy, but it'll be next year before I take any harvest. Luckily, I have a large bag of curry leaves which will keep me going.

I did find cutting the first branch after nurturing it hard esp considering there wasn't a lot on it, you have to have the mindset that to cut it back will induce more growth.
On a positive note my plant doubled its height last year purely i think because of the good weather we had. I feel outside is better for them,

I am trying to grow a plant as well.  Its about 15 cm's tall if that, in the greenhouse and it seems to be growing very slowly....Any tips or is this standard?  I am hardly watering it (I believe they like a lot of water in one go but then left to dry out), I believe they likely citrus feed which I haven't got yet...

Follow Phil's advice, also if its living in a greenhouse as you say mist the leaves every day, it will help keep spider mite and scale insect at bay.

Thanks Micky.  Have looked for the citrus feed but I cannot find it locally so looks like an online purchase.  Thanks for the greenhouse advice too
