Step-by-Step Curry Tree Care & Diagnostic Protocol

AI Doctor Protocol
1

Calibrate Light Exposure & Orientation

Place Curry Tree in an area with full sun. If leaf tips turn crispy brown, move away from direct southern sun. If stems become leggy, increase light levels.

2

Soil Moisture & Drainage Check

Always test soil moisture 2 inches beneath the surface before watering (keep soil moist but well-drained). Ensure pots have adequate drainage holes to prevent moisture stagnation and root rot.

3

Pest & Disease Inspection

Examine leaf undersides for webbing (spider mites) or powdery white residue (mildew). If yellowing leaves or dark necrotic spots appear, isolate the plant immediately to avoid fungal spread.
