SAPLINGS FROM SEEDS

The seeds should be sown within a few weeks.

UNIQUENESS OF CURRY LEAF PLANT

  1. Even if the area is very dry, Curry leaf plant is not affected. So, it is enough if you water them once in 15 days.
  2. They don’t need much manure too.
  3. It stimulates Insulin.
  4. This plant contributes to moderating the population of several species of crop – feeding insects. It is an inhibitor of reproduction of insects. Insects are rendered infertile – even temporarily – by sitting on plants like Curry leaf, Tulsi or Marigold.
  5. Carbazole alkaloids, which fight type 2 diabetes, colon cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease, are found in curry leaf.

SUPPORT CROPS FOR CURRY LEAF PLANTS

Cluster Beans, Onion, Thattaipayaru (Tamil). Never plant Ladies’ Finger with Curry leaf plants as they sprout side branches and hinder the growth of Curry Leaf. They also suck the strength of Curry leaf plants.
