    Well mine usually drop their leaves when I bring in but soon produces new vigorous growth.. I save all the leaf drops then for cooking.. I have had mine a few years now but behaves the same each year.!

      I think because it is growing sideways, try growing it upwards, it might do better..:lunapic 130165696578242 5:

              Just a bit of garden silly banter @MaLiorzh .. :SUNsmile: Well I can only add
              that your compost your plant is in looks quite damp, @MaLiorzh let it dry out well between feeds and watering.. So that the top couple of inches are dry while indoors. ( most of the pot I know).. Mine only gets a small amount of water indoors at this time of year maybe once a fortnight as they don’t like cold wet roots... They are quit tough though and can come back from near dead ok, so don’t give up on it yet.. :thumbsup:

              Thank's yet again Marely Farley. From an exchange on a blog I've gathered that the temperature should be maintained around 21°C or above. In order to achieve this I've created a mini cloche from an old transparent plastic water bottle with the bottom cut off. Equally, the plant's going into my bedroom where we keep the temperature a little higher - stop that sniggering please!

                It only proves compost is warmer than green house at this time :) ..actually lot of Indians overwinter curry leaf in the house and give religious care/spot as its in use everyday cooking . it also looks like nice house plant too as it gets bigger.
                having little patience , I get a kilo of curry leaves from India and freeze :)

                  next summer when I go India, can bring few curry leaf plants if anyone want. as said I only will start growing it when I can have a hotbed in green house (no greenhouse yet ).

                  Sounds like you are on the right path now then @MRishi... My lounge window where mine overwinters is east facing sohas the morning sun.. The room is warm and it isn’t near a radiator or anything and seems quite happy... I hope yours will pick up a bit now too if you are putting it in a warmer atmosphere. Good luck and let us know how it gets on... :thumbsup:
