GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
Sow in the spring. The trees shouldnt be planted in the colder months, when the temperature is below 50 degrees.
The seeds retain the ability to germinate for an entire year provided that the soil mixture is warm.
Moringa trees can be grown in the ground, but are often started in containers. Its important to protect young plants and saplings from harsh winds and stormy weather. You can use wind barriers around the plants that comprise heavy bags of rocks, potting soil, and sand.
Moringa trees have a deep taproot system, which means they need lots of space to stretch out their roots in the soil. The trees generally prefer loamy or sandy soils with a neutral pH. They will need to have full sun exposure year-round, so be sure to provide that.
Since the plant is native to subtropical and semi-arid regions, it can only tolerate light frost.
