Is the curry leaf plant drying up? Don’t panic, these 5 home remedies of Mali will bring magical glow in 15 days.

News India Live, Digital Desk: Many of us buy a plant 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 the plant will dry up if they cut it, 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 shoots to emerge from the sides and the plant will become ‘dense’ instead of ‘tall’.

3. Wonders of Epsom Salt (Epsom Salt for Green Leaves)
If your curry leaves are turning yellow or do not have that deep green color, then understand that there is a magnesium deficiency. 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 incense
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 remain after making tea and dry them thoroughly. Mix this leaf in the soil once or twice a month. It makes the soil acidic, which is perfect for curry leaves plants.

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.
