I have a potted murraya. It has started drooping, the leaves have a white powder residue on them and any bud will not flower. Help...

Hi there Koshka and welcome to GardenStew!! Very Happy

Mmmmmm Sounds as though you have a case of Powdery Mildew (a fungal growth)I'm afraid. Sad

Try typing "Powdery Mildew" into your search engine and you should come up with a variety of sites which will be able to help you treat the problem. Smile

Looking forward to your future posts. Smile

I do not know how to help with your problem, please pardon that. I am very impressed, is that the "curry tree" ?
I would love to have one.

Welcome to GardenStew mini man. Here is the definition of Murraya from the Wikipedia Encyclopedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murraya )

"The genus Murraya comprises several species in the family Rutaceae, including the Curry Tree."

Murraya itself is not the name given to one particular plant, but rather a classification or grouping of plants with similar characteristics.

Hope this helps!
