    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...

    :smt039 Hi there Koshka and welcome to GardenStew!! :D

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

    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. :)

    Looking forward to your future posts. :)

    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!
