    Hello everyone,

    I bought a curry leaf plant from an Indian grocery store yesterday for $16. Its like a small investment, but I don't mind since I love it.

    I have a question. I saw teeny tiny snails in the pot today. Are they okay?should i just take them out and throw them or should I just leave them?there are too many ,atleast around 10-15 i can spot easily.

    please enlighten me since i am totally new to gardening. I am growing it in a pot in my apartment balcony. I live in Houston,Texas (zone 9)

    I appreciate you for answering me. thanks so much in advance.

    Hi Booni,
    I would suggest remove the snails from the plant. As the snails grow, they will eat up the leaves. I used to have a big challenge with snails when gardening. Now I just sprinkle snail bait about 2 weeks prior to planting anything and everything GROWS.

    Hope this is helpful.
