I have two curry leaf plants (Murraya koenigii) which were given to me as a gift. One is a small leaf variety and the other is a large, dark green leaf plant. Neither is doing well in my house. In the winter time the plants are developing one type of diesease or an other. This last winter one plant had sticky droplets and we also found these sticky drippings on the carpet also. The other plant routinely has a very fine white web what looks like a spider web. What is a safe way to treat these plants to get rid of these diseases?The fine white web is a tell-tale sign of a severe spider mite infestation. Curry leaf is highly susceptible to spider mites and constant vigilance is a necessary first step in keeping your plants free of these pests.
I would like to replace them or get one more plant but would first like to learn how to grow and take care of them. Can you help please?Curry Leaf plants are hard to find. The seeds are very short-lived and they rarely survive the trip from India to North America. And, for U.S. curry leaf enthusiasts, the USDA prohibits the importation of seed or plants into the United States.
Also, I didn't find these plants in your online catalog even though I saw an email in the Q&A section which mentions someone buying this plant from you.We were fortunate enough to have a one-time source of fresh seeds and from those we produced a few thousand plant which we sold in 2000 and 2001 but we are now sold out. We continue to look for a source of fresh seeds but without luck so far.
