A lady sent me some moringa seeds abot a year ago, and she sent instructions with them. I followed the directions, but since they were a bit older (I think she had them for a while and decided to give them away because she had no success), I soaked them for about a day and a half, if not a little longer. Then I just placed them in a snack-sized ziplock bag (without the paper towel) and placed them in my kitchen towel drawer next to the stove. Over half of them have germinated, and I planted them in a plastic bin and some in plastic planters. I wish I had done the red cup method - yours look amazing! I'm praying that mine will do well, also. The instructions said that one shoot is a bit furry and that side should be up, exposed to the sun. Apparently, that is the shoot that will produce leaves. I will leave them in the containers until I think the roots need more room to expand, and then, in order not to disturb the roots that often, I'm thinking to transplant each tree in something a little bigger than what you are showing. I've never grown Moringa before, and I'm a little nervous, but God has blessed all the things I have sowed so far, so I'm counting on His goodness once again. Thank you so much for the video. You should have many more subscribers, so I'm going to be the next subscriber.💚(for growing food)💛(for friendship).

oh my goodness, I have tears reading your encouragement Lady Ela. I have been away from doing videos. all I did was just recording videos here and there but was not able to post because editing takes a while, but because of you I will try it again!

How are you're moringa now? I am growing them soon here in Canada! I will targeting first week of May!

[@bennyhana3556]

I did the papertowel with 3 seeds and all sprouted but one stuck to the paper and half the root broke, it still came up but its basicly just a small green stick with no leafs compared to the other two who are 10times as big with leafs :D

[@gardeningwithnanay]

Oh wow that's still sounds successful to me!

[@alicec5591]

Thank you for this. I have not really grown moring from seeds but through shrubs I was able to. This is helpful.

I really loved your video, I am going to try and grow some moringa. How do you use the clippings you to take off of them? I hear birds in the background, what do you have? My little buddy Handsome the eclectus is my joy. Can't wait to watch more videos, it totally got me in the mood to garden!

[@gardeningwithnanay]

awe so happy you got inspired Amy! We have 2 budgies! The kids named them Sky and Falco! I put the clippings in soup or any dish. It is just a little strong like radish. I also have it for tea! What are you gonna plant ?

[@amythegma]

@@gardeningwithnanay Aw that is too cute! Love the names. I always heard Moringa was very nutritious so that sounds lovely. I want to try and transplant some of the wild berry bushes from our area, like Saskatoon berries, choke cherry. My parrot loves to eat the berries so I was hoping to have some of that.

[@gardeningwithnanay]

@@amythegma saskatoon berries will be nice, I will be skeptical with chokecherry because they can be very well rooted and almost impossible to get rid off in the soil, they are very prolific and the more you cut them out the more they will sprout.

[@amythegma]

@@gardeningwithnanay That is a very good point and something I did not know. But it makes sense, in the wild they do multiply like crazy in the areas they are in. Might have to settle for wild picking for my wine then :)

So when do you start the seeds indoor in Zone 3 and you transplant the seedlings when they are 5-6 wks in a bigger pot? Do you leave it outside during summer and bring it in during winter? Thanks

[@gardeningwithnanay]

Hi Danielle! I start in June or July. But starting in May should be okay. I avoid transplanting as much as possible so I just leave them in their original pot until they overgrown it because they don't like their roots disturbed. I do not bring them outside anymore to prevent bringing in some spider mites in the house or other bugs. I hope this helps. Enjoy gardening.

How often do you water your moringa when they go dormant?

[@gardeningwithnanay]

every other week and just a cup of water

[@mitalide8339]

This year I started germinating moringa in Feb & kept in warm places near fireplace. It germinated quickly & transplanted in small pot. Started growing. Lets see how it grows in Cslgary, Canada.

[@gardeningwithnanay]

moringa don't like to be transplanted, that could be the reason why it stunted growth, Try growing again with a bigger , longer pot where you plan to keep it longer

[@sheilamary67]

I didn't see how deep you planted the on-week old seedling. More or less how many cm deep did you make the hole? Does it matter?

[@gardeningwithnanay]

About 1.5 inches should be good 😊

[@gardeningwithnanay]

rule of thumb for planting seeds is that how big your seed is how deep you cover them up, so not so deep like bulbs or corms.
