Did you think that moringa could not be grown in Italy? We succeeded and with a little care you can do it too.
Although Moringa can be grown in the garden or in the open field only in those areas where the temperature does not fall below 10° (the area where the orange tree grows is perfect), if you plant it in a pot you can easily move it when it is too cold, so you do not risk damaging it.
Moringa does (almost) everything by itself
A characteristic of moringa is that it adapts very easily to all types of soil: the important thing is that they are well drained. In fact, this plant fears humidity a lot: that's why it can resist drought for months!
When growing moringa oleifera in a pot, you need to be careful to protect the roots: if they are damaged, the plant is beyond repair. If the trunk is damaged during the winter but the roots are intact, do not worry, the following spring the plant will be as good as new.
Some advice on sowing
To get the best results with this plant we want to give you some little advice:
- sowing: soak the moringa seeds in water overnight. Then sow them 1 cm deep in a pot of at least 12-15 cm in diameter. Finally moisten the soil.
- germination: Being a very precocious plant, the moringa seedling will only take 8 to 20 days to emerge from the soil!
- position: Place the pot in a sunny area protected from the wind. In summer it can be safely left outside, but if the temperature drops below 10°, shelter it!
Now that you know how to grow moringa, all you have to do is try it! In our shop you will find fantastic products based on this precious plant.
