The other day I had posted an article titled Curry leaf berries.
So we thought we will try our green thumbs on growing curry leaf plant from the seeds. We knew its going to be a big challenge growing this indoor and winter isn’t really a favorable time to grow plants from seedlings/berries. Anyway, I had some coir pots bought almost 2 years ago and thought I should put them to use. The biggest challenge was to find out a good spot where the plant would get adequate sun light – we decided to move around some furniture in our kitchen, thereby we could put these in spots with ambient sun light and also be away from heat vents. Also I read elsewhere that indoor plants could benefit from light coming from CFL bulbs – so I thought I will give this try as well. We have this cheep o hanging light fixture (holds 6 bulbs) in our kitchen area and replaced the regular bulbs on these to CFL bulbs. This definitely seemed to have helped 
I think its almost 4 weeks now since I have sowed the seeds from the curry leaf berries and the plants have started to germinate – yeah its exciting to see some green when its bitter cold outside

That’s really interesting to see the small plants germinating in the pots during Winter. May be you can photograph (Macro Mode) once in two weeks to see the trails of thier growth.
That’s really a exciting news!

I am not familair with the curry leaf plant.
Isn’t it fun to try an experiment? Great photos and thanks for sharing this.
I had posted earlier, Due to the heat here and my mistake my plant got a heat stroke and the half ripe berries wilted. I immediatley planted them after removing the outer skin. It is 10 days now and almost all seeds have germinated. to the stage of the picture above….. thx
Parul, Glad to hear that your curry leaf berries have germinated. Couple of years ago, my curry plants had a heat stroke as well – I did move it to a place with afternoon sunlight and my curry plant is doing great.
Its a different story with the berries/germination though – I gave the baby plants to few of my plants and they didn’t have much luck growing them.

Hi,
I find your website to be informative and especially I like your pictures and the narration. Your composition and color hues are great.
I need your inputs and here is my story of curry leaf plant. I bought 2 ft curry leaf plant online a month a ago. once it established, I transplanted into a bigger container . I was happy with the purchase. It started to have new leafs. After couple of weeks, surprisingly it started budding flowering. It has been in that state for a while. All of a sudden it started to shed the leafves. It almost lost around 20 shoots and now the plant has only around 10 shoots.
Initially I placed near the east window and now moved to the west side window. I am talking to it, taking care, watering only when the surface is dry. What ever, I am doing isn’t working. I have been reading various posts to get insights either.
Please if someone has any solution to it,pass it on. I am desperate and I want to see my plant lively and happy again.
Shedding leaves seems to be common when the plant is kept indoors – typically my curry leaf plants lost its leaves/shoots when left indoors. I wonder if you can move your plant outside – depending on where you live. If that were the case, I wouldn’t expose it to full sunlight immediately – you don’t want to shock your plants. You want to gradually expose it to sunlight. I would suggest leaving it in the shade/patio for couple of weeks before leaving it in the sunlight. Hope that helps.
