Rooting a curry plant is relatively simple using a semi ripened stem from another plant. In as little as three weeks, the curry plant will begin to grow offering a natural and holistic approach to improved memory function. With each new development of curry leaves, the curry seeds are produced and can be ground into a curry powder. To encourage continue growth of the curry plant, many home gardeners will continue regular pruning of the stems to ensure new curry leaves continue to develop.
