CARE INSTRUCTIONS

The first key to growing moringa is having well-draining soil. Moringa do not like stagnant water in their root system. If you have well-draining soil, you can plant moringa in the ground. If you have poorly draining soil (either from high clay content or lack of soil care/amendment), grow Moringa in pots with a well draining, fertile potting soil. To make potting soil well-draining, mix 1/3 of perlite into your potting soil. Treat moringa like a vegetable plant. Planting in your vegetable garden is a great idea. Though Moringa can be drought tolerant once established, it will grow very fast if watered regularly and provided consistent fertility. Moringa can provide dappled shade to your vegetable garden during summer, and grows well with the good drainage and regular watering of vegetable garden soils.
