Growing Moringa Trees From Seeds

[@patross7036]

Hi. I planted three seeds last week. I left one in the shell. All three sprouted at the same time, and the one which was left in the shell is the biggest.

[@rosawatkins482]

Awesome! good to know.

[@singgrom]

did you soak the seeds

[@jbbolts]

the shells seem to provide some nutrients and minerals for an extra boost... ive seen others report similar results with lemon seeds as well. they are there for a reason

[@busker153]

[@annalafayette838]

Just discovered this plant. Helped enormously with arthritis pain.

[@danyael2065]

I assume that the reddish small one must've been either a mutation or a recessive trait from one of the previous versions of moringa it came from if these seeds came from the same plant OR it is just a moringa seed coming from a different variety compared to the other seeds. Well, it's not impossible to have two different moringa varieties beside each other when the seed seller harvested these seeds from his/her plants. Here in the Philippines, I have observed two kinds of moringa varieties in the market tho: the one with the greenish stem and the one with the reddish stem.

[@jackmercer4244]

fresh leaves are much better than powder. I started a big batch of seedlings this season. Picked a branch today and added fresh leaves to my pico de gallo salsa which I ate with cornchips and kebab wrap! The mental clarity and good mood is almost immediate and long lasting

[@judywhite7782]

I think the smaller plant is the Stenopetala Variety.... which is Very hard to find, grows slower than the Oleifera, but... I've read are a bit more nutritious and slightly different flavor...

[@aminamelancon5640]

Great video! These are some of the easiest seeds I've ever grown. I dropped 7 in nursery containers and two in zip lock bags wrapped in wet paper towels and they all germinated. I didn't soak them. I only need two so I'm giving the rest away. I live in New Orleans and it's still really hot here so they are growing really well with lots of leaves. I can't wait to start making my own Moringa leaf powder!

[@kimlewis5429]

I'm in new Orleans area also , Westbank, how are the trees doing now? I just planted a seed 3 days ago and already have a seeding! That was fast!

[@Mantras-and-Mystics]

Wow! I've never seen this technique before. I'll give this a try. Greetings from Queensland! 🌴☀️

How did these Moringa do ? Did you do an update ?

[@chandansinghkatewa2196]

Thanks for presenting useful info in an interesting manner.

You’re so wholesome. Thank you for the video!

[@melovescoffee]

I sowed them some time ago and i don't know what was going on but at some point i dug them up and broke them open and there were little white grubs inside that ate all the inside of the seeds. I guess i'll just have to try it again with the 4 seeds i have left but i will do that in summer at high temperatures. Nice looking plants!

some sprout different to...but....I'll tell you what...moringa trees love Louisiana weather....luv your channel. ..its my go to for advice👍👍👍

[@pearlsrevealed]

RAREBREED398 That's what I need to know. Did you plant yours in the ground? Louisiana soil is not light and sandy which suppose to be the best soil for the seeds.

[@jsdb2404]

The smaller one may be one of a few reason, it may be a different cultivar or breed of Moringa that got mixed into the batch, could be a dwarf or it may of been caused by cross pollination from another source/Species.

[@sunnycharacter]

The short plant seedling looks like the start of a Pride of Barbados. Leaf structure looks amazingly like Moringa, but totally different plant with gorgeous blooms, not edible, poisonous seeds if eaten.

[@michellepenner3576]

I planted 7 and 2 of mine look like that small little reddish one as well!

[@klhoeltzle]

My guess is that the tap root on the smaller plant didn't grow well. The tap root on your taller plants should be about 3 to 4 inches long but my guess is that the smaller one is deficit. When you transplant be very careful because I transplanted and broke a tap root. that plant is not growing but is still green. May I suggest that if you start another plant that you do it i a taller pot so that you won't have to transplant again until the plant is a year old. I heard that the tap root is much stronger and is more able to withstand the transfer to a larger pot.

@@junefiorito3691 imo you can just gently scratch off the shell, but be careful not to damage the main seed. Try soaking it in water a few minutes to soften..

Can't tell you without knowing temps, type of soil etc. You may be over watering it, it may need some fertilizer or it could be getting attacked. Also could be a combination of these. First thing I would do is feed it and cut back on the watering

How do you remove the shells? I soaked them and put them in a little plastic bag after wrapping them in a wet paper towel. 3 weeks but mo movement!!! HELP! I live in cold(ish) Central Alberta, Canada!

[@Growyourheirlooms]

They are super hard,. You have to pull them apart with your fingernails. They don't come off easy

[@jackmercer4244]

I think it's better to leave the shell on because it absorbs water that the seed can use if the soil dries up. Just a theory. I soak the seeds on wet paper towel inside sealed plastic food box. This is to insure that a seed is alive before planting it in soil mini pots. If you plant a seed in a soil pot before germinating, the seed might be dead and not come up so you wasted pot space for a dead or weak seed. I think that reddish seedling might be a weak seed.

Hi June, I am by no means an expert on this subject since I've only grown two moringa trees in the past year. I live in Massachusetts and our winters are as cold as yours (I am previously from B.C.). A moringa tree will not survive the winter so I grow it as an annual and last year I picked enough leaves to make green smoothie powder all winter. Recently I discovered dwarf moringa tree, bought the seeds, plant a few it in large pots and will try over wintering them in my house. My house already looks like a jungle, so a couple trees will just add to the nature feeling. I hope this has been helpful and stay healthy during this time of the earth's reset.
