Moringa Seeds

Moringa

Moringa Trees are cultivated all over the world and are highly valued for their edible parts that are extremely high in nutrients and minerals, as well as their beautiful ornamental features. Moringa leaves, pods and seeds have more vitamin C than four oranges combined as well as high amounts of calcium, potassium, iron, zinc and more.

This is a very fast growing tree. Our 3 ft. trees can turn 8 ft. in a matter how of weeks during the growing season. They like to be pruned and thrive in containers. Once planted, keep soil moist until established. We have had great success with growing Moringa in our climate. We harvest from our backyard trees daily!

Planting Moringa Seeds

There are a variety of ways to plant Moringa seeds. Some Moringa growers soak the seeds for a few days, some plant them in pots, some sow them directly into the ground. Our best results have come from starting them in small pots, in loose, organic potting soil that has some coconut coir mixed in with it.

Plant them about 3/4 to 1 inch deep, and tamp the soil down on top of them loosely. They do not like compacted soil. Then, water them thoroughly, put them in a warm place with as much light as possible, and wait. You can give them a little water every day, until they sprout - then, every other day, water until the soil on top is moist. Too much water - they will drown!

Once they are about 8 inches tall, we plant them right into the ground or transfer them into larger pots. You can start them in Jiffy Peat Pellets, but peat does not provide enough nourishment for them to thrive. If you use the Peat Pellets, transplant them into larger pots filled with potting soil, when they are about 3 inches tall - Jiffy Peat Pellet, and all!

We typically plant our Moringa seeds right into the potting mix or into the ground, but soaked seeds are fine - just remember to use the water they soaked in, when you are planting them. They do not care for clay, heavily compacted soil, vermiculite, or peat pots. The Jiffy Peat Pellets are fine for sprouting them, but peat pots dry out too fast for Moringa seedlings. If that is all you have to use, you will have to keep a close watch on them, so they do not dry out.
