DETAILS AND CARE
Curry Leaf Plant in 15-Gallon Pot available in Jupiter, FL.
Fragrant, flavorful, and essential for authentic South Asian cooking—the Curry Leaf Plant (Murraya koenigii) in a 15-gallon pot is a must-have for edible gardens and culinary growers in South Florida. This tropical evergreen produces glossy, aromatic leaves used fresh in curries, soups, chutneys, and stews. Beyond the kitchen, it adds lush greenery and a wonderful citrusy scent to patios and gardens.
In this 15-gallon size, your curry plant is well-rooted and ready to flourish, offering harvestable leaves and rapid growth under the right conditions.
Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):
-
Sunlight: Prefers full sun to partial shade. At least 6 hours of sun daily ensures lush growth and strong aroma. Can handle light afternoon shade in hot inland zones.
-
Watering: Water consistently but moderately—keep the soil moist during the growing season, allowing the top inch to dry out slightly between waterings. Well-established plants are drought-tolerant.
-
Soil: Thrives in well-draining, sandy or loamy soil. Enrich with compost to increase nutrient content. Avoid heavy clay or waterlogged areas.
-
Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced organic fertilizer. Supplement with micronutrients to keep foliage lush and aromatic.
-
Growth Habit: Upright and shrubby with slender trunks and compound leaves. In a 7-gallon pot, expect a plant 2–4 feet tall, quickly growing larger with warm weather and regular care.
-
Temperature: Best for USDA Zones 10–11. Loves South Florida’s heat and humidity. Protect from temperatures below 40°F—bring indoors or cover during cold snaps.
-
Maintenance: Low. Prune to shape and encourage branching. Harvest regularly to keep leaves tender and flavorful. Remove flowers if leaf growth is the main goal.
