    There is no need to cut it. That is a new baby leaf!

    That soil is the reason that it is moving so slowly, though. It needs a potting mix, or seedling mix to form roots properly. Once it is established, it can handle the clay soil, but taking cuttings in it will prove very difficult.

    Here is an article that will help you with the care of the plant:

    Thanks for the reply. I've shifted the stem into a 3inch growing pot with 50-30-20 mix of soil, coco peat and sand.
    I've a few more curry plants and I'm pretty sure the tiny bodies are seed pods, hence I've cut them, leaving just a couple of them to grow further and to be sure for experience.
    Will try to post any updates ?

    Your tree may need to be fertilized. A liquid seaweed fertilizer works well.

    This appears to be overwatering. When potting up, it is best to only put it into a pot that is 1 or 2 inches larger on all sides. This is to avoid there being too much soil uncolonized with roots. Uncolonized soil tends to remain too wet for too long.

    You will have to watch watering, very carefully. Only water a small amount around the area of the tree until it fills in some of that soil. This is going to be guesswork, from here, unfortunately.

    instead of watering these heat tolerant trees extra in compensation, allow them to dry out, thoroughly, down to about 2 or 3 inches. This will keep the soil, moderately, moist, while allowing the important portion of the soil to dry out. If you are unable to determine soil moisture by hand you may need a meter.

    Here are some articles that will help:

    Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. This is typical of overly moist soils, though. It could be that the soil is compacted, thick, or remains too wet for comfort.
