My curry plants also have aphid problems as I can see some ants carrying the aphids up. I'm monitoring them closely while spraying them more frequently with detergent water.
All the aphids in my chilli plants were killed by my praying mantis army.

Long time never update. These few weeks I started growing another 3 pots of Rue, from the cuttings of my one and only surviving plant. Some said Rue is difficult to grow, because they don't like strangers to water, nor can you say anything bad about them, else they can just die on you overnight. I've a few Rue that died this way hahaha..
Also, I've grown a few more cherry tomatoes. Very big and already harvesting the fruits.
But sad to say, my attempts at growing Coriander failed. I chopped off the roots of those bought from NTUC and put them in water, but none survives. Not sure why.

This one is hardy. The other type called coriander is very hard to grow.

I can't even grow Chinese parsley successfully. Yesterday I just put another stalk into the soil to try. Will update here in a week's time.

You grow from seeds or from root stalks?
