Curry Leaf Plant

Curry Leaf Plant (Murraya koenigii) is a must-have aromatic herb for edible gardens in NZ. Popular in Indian cooking, it thrives in pots or garden beds and adds lush greenery and flavour to your homegrown meals.

Key Features:

• Edible & Aromatic: Fresh curry leaves bring authentic flavour to curries and chutneys.

• Ideal for Containers: Grows well in pots or raised beds in small spaces.

• Tropical Appeal: Evergreen with attractive foliage and low-maintenance needs.

• NZ-Friendly: Can be grown in sheltered gardens or sunny patios.

Care & Maintenance:

• Light: Full sun to partial shade; shelter from harsh wind and frost.

• Soil: Well-drained, rich organic soil is ideal.

• Watering: Water moderately; allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between watering.

• Feeding: Apply liquid fertiliser every 2–4 weeks during the growing season.

• Winter Care: Move indoors or into a greenhouse during colder months.

• Repotting: Repot annually into a larger container as the plant grows. Avoid disturbing the roots — curry leaf plants dislike root disruption.

• Pruning: Light pruning helps encourage bushy growth and healthy leaf production.
