Drumstick Seeds (Moringa)

• Sow seeds 2–3 cm deep directly in a large pot (at least 40 cm deep) or in the ground.
• Moringa prefers direct sowing. Remove the seed coat (hard brown shell) before sowing for faster germination.
• Use Ugaoo's Organic Veggie Mix for better results.
• Best time to sow: February to May, when the weather is warm.
• Keep it in a warm, sunny spot after sowing.

• Seeds sprout in 5–10 days.
• Keep soil moist during this period.
• Once sprouts appear, move to full sun.

NA - Moringa prefers direct sowing and does not transplant well once established.

• Needs full direct sun, at least 6–8 hours daily.
• Water every 2–3 days while young. Once established, moringa is highly drought tolerant.
• Use a large pot or grow bag with drainage holes.
• Feed with cow manure every 20 days. Use Ugaoo's Neem Oil Spray to protect from pests.
• Moringa grows vigorously. Prune the top when it reaches 1 metre to encourage bushy, manageable growth and more leaf production.

• Moringa is a perennial tree; it keeps growing year after year with proper care.
• Prune hard once a year to keep growth manageable and promote fresh leaf production.
• In cooler months, growth naturally slows. Resume regular feeding when temperatures rise.
• Protect young plants from strong winds until established.

• Young leaves can be harvested in 60–90 days.
• Snap young tender leaves and leaf clusters from the branches.
• Pods are ready in 6–8 months; harvest when they are firm, dark green, and about 30–40 cm long.
• Pick regularly to encourage the plant to keep producing.
