In todays video we will look at the propagation, pruning, repotting and fertilizing curry leaf plant, also known as Murraya koenigii or Bergera koenigii plant which produces aromatic leaves, used in a lot of Indian, Sri Lankan and other south Asian cuisines\r
\r
We start off by looking at how a curry leaf tree produces seeds. We then show you how to harvest these curry seeds and propagate them into new plants. \r
\r
We then move on to pruning techniques to show you how to raise a nice, bushy plant. \r
\r
In the next section we talk about repotting a curry leaf plant to a larger container, something that must be done every 2-3 years. This prevents the plant from getting rootbound.\r
\r
We then look at the right way to harvest curry leaves. Either cut off the tops of the plant, from the top 3-4 inches, to harvest OR harvest the entire petiole (the leaflet) and not the leaves. This is an important difference between leaflet and leaves.\r
