FAQ's
Growing Moringa
Can I Grow in the USA?
Yes. Moringa can grow in most all parts of the USA during the warm summer months. In colder climates it is often grown as an annual, replanting several moringa trees in a small space every spring and summer. It may never get to full size or produce drumsticks, but you'll be able to harvest fresh moringa greens all summer long.
Can I Grow Moringa Indoors?
Yes, with bright light, warm temperatures, and good airflow you can grow moringa indoors in containers by recreating tropical conditions. Add fan to help strengthen the stems and also keep the bugs from reproducing on the leaves. Grow moringa in a sunroom or patio near a window. Bring them inside for winter.
How Fast Does Moringa Grow?
Moringa is one of the fastest growing trees in the world and can grow several feet within a few months during the summer. Trim moringa trees back regularly to get a short bushy tree. It will regrow super fast with fresh greens to eat. Harvest your first moringa greens within 30 days from sprouting the seeds. Use moringa as a fast growth fertilizer on other plants.
What Soil Does Moringa Prefer?
Moringa like rich sandy-composted soil. It needs to be well-draining with lots of beneficial microbes. Moringa does not like heavy, waterlogged soil or to be planted too deep. It like to be planted high and dry in tropical conditions. It can be planted in more of a hole in the desert region to help with moisture retention and shading. Its draught tolerant but still needs moisture to sprout.
How Often Should I Water Moringa?
When sprouting the seeds, soak them overnight to soften the shell. Then, plant them in moist soil. Allow the soil to dry slightly between watering. Moringa prefers deep watering with good drainage rather than constant moisture. Allow the top to dry out. If you water too much, mold and bacteria could form on the surface preventing them to sprout. Keep in a warm dark space for germination.
Can I Grow Moringa in a Pot?
Yes moringa can be sprouted in small trays. Plant 100 seeds in a small tray for microgreens. Then re-plant them in bigger pots. You don't need to use the 'step up' method into larger pots. Skip all the extra work and time by planting 100 moringa seeds in no less than a 3-gallon pot. They grow fast and dislike transplant shock. You'll have several big trees forming to transplant after they have root tubers.
