News India Live, Digital Desk: Many of us buy saplings from the nursery with great enthusiasm, but within a few days it starts withering. Curry leaves are one such plant that need a little ‘love’ and ‘right dose’. Let us know the easiest ways to make it green.1. The Magic of Sour Buttermilk Have you ever thought that old sour buttermilk or curd kept in the kitchen can become a lifesaver for your plants? Yes! Curry leaves love nitrogen. How to use? Dissolve one cup of sour buttermilk in a jug of water and pour it on the roots of the plant once a week. It works like a magical fertilizer and new leaves start emerging within a few weeks.2. Pruning is very important (Pruning Tips) People often fear that if they cut the plant, it will dry up, whereas the case is the opposite with curry leaves. If you want your plant to become dense and bushy, then do ‘pinching’ or ‘pruning’ it. That is, cut the upper stem of the plant a little from the top. This will cause new branches to emerge from the sides and the plant will become ‘dense’ instead of ‘tall’.3. Miracle of Epsom Salt (Epsom Salt for Green Leaves) If the leaves of your curry leaves are turning yellow or they do not have that deep greenery, then understand that there is a deficiency of magnesium. Dissolve one teaspoon of Epsom salt in one liter of water and spray it on the leaves. The leaves will become shiny and dark green.4. Right choice of sunlight: Curry leaves are fond of sunlight. If you have kept it in shade, its growth will never be good. Keep it in direct sunlight for at least 5-6 hours. Remember, moisten the soil only when the top layer feels dry, otherwise there is a risk of the roots rotting.5. Tea leaf fertilizer: Wash the leaves that are left after making tea and dry them thoroughly. Mix this leaf in the soil once or twice a month. This makes the soil acidic, which is perfect for the curry leaf plant. An important tip: curry leaves often drop all their leaves in winter (dormancy period), do not be alarmed by this. As soon as spring and summer arrive, the tips mentioned above will get your plant blooming again.
