I've only got mine about 2 months ago and it's doing very well. It has grown 5cm since I got it (that's about 4 new leaves). It likes full sun, but doesn't like frost. I have put mine in the greenhouse now, as we do get frost.

Good luck!

Murraya Koenigii grows very well in Australia. I have seen fully grown trees of Murraya K growing to 10ft in NSW, WA and in NT. Full grown plants on the ground can survive frosty conditions. I have several plants on the ground in Melbourne which are now 8 to 9ft and thriving and I dont cover them during winter period.

Curry plants can be grown in large pots and also on the ground.I have two plants in large pots and they are about 6-7 ft in height.I keep them on edge of an open garage where they get lot of sunlight. They do not spread very much laterally on the ground or in pots.They need pruning to make them bushier.Harvesting of leaves also encourages new growth. Happy cooking.

I had never even contemplated planting them in the ground. Might be something to look at.

Has anyone had success in propagating the plant? And how did you do it? Cuttings? Seeds?

I have two plants on the ground in Melbourne. They are both four years old. I took extra precaution during first two years by covering them during winter with green shade cloth. Once the plants have hardened and thriving, there was no need to cover them. I have two varieties of Curry plant. I got one from WA and other one from Darwin. The Darwin variety has dark geen leaves and is cold resistant than the light green WA variety. During winter in Melbourne the leaves of WA variety tends to yellow and dry at the edges but the Darwin variety retains its greenness throughout winter.

They can be multiplied either from seeds or from root suckers. Dried seeds should never be used for germinating because Murraya seeds lose its viability when it dries up. Ripe seeds or half ripe seeds should be used for germination after extracting the outer covering. They should be planted very shallow and germinate in 10 days depending on temperature. They also can be grown by removing suckers which come from the roots. Damage to roots induces suckers to come out. The Darwin variety tends to put more suckers than the WA variety. About two weeks ago I harvested about twenty five suckers from the Darwin variety.
