Before sowing Moringa seeds, you need to select the seeds and keep the healthy and plump ones, so that the planted ones will survive more easily. Put the selected seeds into 1000 times carbendazim solution and soak them for 4 hours to germinate to increase the germination rate. Prepare loose, fertile, sandy soil, place the seeds on the surface of the soil, and press gently to a depth of 2 cm. After watering thoroughly, cover it with plastic wrap to keep it warm and moisturized. It will germinate after a week.

1. Select seeds

1. Select seeds

Not all Moringa tree seeds can germinate. When selecting seeds, pick out immature, diseased or insect-infested seeds and sow healthy and plump seeds for easier growth. In addition, the development rate of fresh seeds harvested that year is higher, reaching about 90%, while old seeds can only reach 60%.

2. Germination treatment

Spicy The seeds of the wood tree have a shell. This shell can be removed, but it will not affect the germination rate if not removed. Three methods are generally used for germination: carbendazim, potassium permanganate or soaking in warm water. Carbendazim needs to be mixed with 1000 times of water to make a dilution, and the seeds are soaked for 4 hours. This method has a higher germination rate.

3. Pot soil preparation

The Moringa tree has strong adaptability to the growing environment and is relatively easy to grow. But if you want to grow better, use loose and fertile soil. The soil should not be too sticky, otherwise it will cause difficulty in root breathing. Generally, it is better to plant in sandy soil.

4. Planting

Planting The best time is spring, usually after collecting seeds in December, they can be sown in the spring of the next year. Place the seeds on the potting soil and press gently until the depth is about 2 cm. After sowing, water it thoroughly and then seal it with plastic film to keep it warm and moisturizing. Generally, they can germinate after a week and then be placed in a cool place for curing.
