My curry leaf plant is dying?
I have had this curry leaf plant for over 3 years now and I usually place it in the courtyard. I repotted my curry leaf plant last week to a bigger pot. In a day or two the leaves became dry and wilted. I have noticed few brown tips here and there today. Is there anything I can do to revive my plant?

@PerkyPhytolacca if I remember rightly Najah, curry leaf like to dry out a LOT between waterings! (And in wineter, almost completely! Lol).
I would treat it like a citrus tree (similar soil, fertlizer and drying!) so if it's dry to a depth of about 2 inches I think you're ok to water her 🥰 and Evelyn's @CourtlyKingfern) point shit the sun is a good one! Transplant shock makes them all a bit dippy and sensitive for a week or two, so I would make changes gradually and I'm sure she'll be ok! Greg actually has a fab wee guide all about watering this kind of plant as it happens... I'll drop it here for you (I always end up finding these online rather than in-app! Lol but I'm pretty new to Greg so I'm maybe just missing something! Lol 🤷♀️🤣). Let us know how she gets on! Xx

Hi Najah 👋😊 I wouldn't panic just yet hun... She's probably just in a bit of transplant shock! They generally all go a bit limp and sulky after a repotting but she should perk right up in a week or so!
She'll be concentrating on putting out new roots in her new home at first... So don't use fertiliser for about a month! And just be a little careful with watering while she gets acclimatised. She might need just a little more water (i usually tell people to cut back watering at first, until their repotted plant gets over the shock!) as dry, wilty leaves on a curry plant is usually down to needing a bit more to drink? You could try giving her a good drench, just make sure you leave her long enough before the NEXT watering after that, so she has time to dry out a bit?
Good luck! She's a really lovely, big plant 🥰 I'm sure she'll bounce back just fine! Xxx

@PerkyPhytolacca Najah since she has just been repotted I wouldn’t put her in the sun right away. Give it time to get my on its feet so to speak. Bright filtered light. 🙌🏻 you got this.. 😉
@JenniB81 Thank you so much! The top soil is dry, but the mid section is moist and the bottom is wet as per the soil moisture meter. Do you still reckon that I water it a bit more?
@CourtlyKingfern Thank you! I will make sure to keep her away from from the sun for another couple of days.
