I know this is an old video. But just a tip. Moringas have a very delicate tap root and if they hit the bottom of the container for very long, it really stunts their health. Even when you plant the seed it is best to do it in something that is more than six inches deep and then uppot frequently to keep the taproot from reaching the bottom of the pot.

Thank you Luke. Hopefully they'll keep going.

You're welcome. I hope it helped. I have 4 plants transplanted outside now and doing well.

Moringa great natural remedy for malnutrition! The world needs to know more about Moringa tree.

Its been awhile Larry. I've been planning one, but haven't gotten around to it. Right now, they are starting to shed leaves. Its a roller coaster with these things. They look good, then bad, then good, and bad again. Without a doubt, the most challenging thing I've ever grown.

hey love your improvised heat pad :)

Its a fascinating tree. I hope it continues to do well. Thank you.

Thanks. I'm gonna transplant a few of them directly into the ground inside one of my greenhouses. I try to maintain temps above 50 during the winter, so they should be able to survive. I'd like to get in a position where I could pick a handful of leaves each day. But thats gonna take a lot more trees than what I have right now.

You can buy seeds online at a few different places. It prefers warm weather. So if you're in a cold area, they need to be brought in when it gets cold. I've heard of them growing outside in TX and FL, and making it thru the winter.

Great idea with the Christmas tree lights!. Brilliant even!

Yes they are. Supposedly the like 70+ degrees. I can't provide that overnight, so I expect to see them slow down. I do have a few ideas for keeping the warm though. Good luck up there. We're expecting about 36, so maybe some light frost.

Wow.. a 20 ft Moringa...that would be really cool. I'm gonna try to prune these back and make them bush out. Moringa tea sounds like a good idea too.

You're welcome. I hope it was helpful.

Your heating element is brillant. Great information... thank you.

Very good, straight forward and sharing what we need to know. Awesome!

one if you grow a tree and it dies back because it got cold dont throw away they grow back.also go to walmart get a kerosine lamp 6.00 and that gives great heat.love your channel thank you.

Thanks. If you seed them outside, they'll be fine. The direct sunlight deal comes in when you start seeds indoors first. Then, they need to be hardened off before getting full sun.

I have been fighting with mine too. Thanks for posting these great! ideas.

I'd never heard of this plant till now. I just read a little about it in Wikipedia. Very interesting and versatile plant. I may try growing it myself. Good luck and thanks for the info. I look forward to seeing how these turn out.

Not a lot of water. Just enough to keep them from drying out. I tried to keep the temps around 80 or so for germination. That really helped them to come up pretty fast.

Yea, the light deal is kinda neat. I think its been around for quite some time. I've seen different versions here and there. My other starting setup had tomatoes in it, so I had to go to plan B. Good luck with the gourds. I've never tried them.

Great video. Love the Xmas lights idea, never would have thought of it. Good info, thanks for sharing. I will grow them in my house in NY this winter and again in spring. Heck, four months of very warm weather in NY should produce a bumper crop of Moringa just like any other plant or veggie, I believe. Can't wait - maybe 100 plants then I can save the leaves to last all winter. That's my idea for now.

After you get a couple sets of leaves, I think they'd be ok to transplant. And the 12 inch pots should be fine for a few months. Depending on temperatures, they might need something bigger later on.

Brilliant with the lights.

I would start from seed. As long as you keep them warm, germination goes pretty well.

It's interesting how different media will affect the germination rate of seeds.

Awesome video thanks for all the advice and taking the time to make the video!!

I'm gonna try to keep them progressing in containers outside. If they do well, I'd like to try to overwinter them in the GH.

Thanks...Its old school, worked like a charm.

I haven't eaten enough to really notice a difference. However, if you want more energy, start the day with fresh vegetable and fruit juice. I do that fairly often, and it really helps if I do it for several days in a row. I just toss whatever veggies I have into the juicer and drink about a quart. It takes a few days for your system to get used to it though, so go easy at first.

Hey Bobby, thanks for the heads up on this plant/tree. We'll check this out for the nutritional value. Really, really appreciate this. I'm gonna Google it up just as soon as I finish up here! ANYTHING you hear about with high nutritional value, please give us a shout! Tons of Vitamin C and Potassium...sounds great! As always, wishing you guys the very best life has to offer, buddy! Take care, and God Bless!

Looking good Bobby.

Cool. I know there has to be a few different places to get the seed. Thanks.

Great vid and beautiful Moringa!

LOL...yea, kinda. The light trick has been used a lot. Its my first time using them like that. Chuck just took it to a whole new level with the ice chest "germinator". It's a busy time for sure, but thats a good thing.

What a smart idea using the x-mas tree lights. Brilliant just brilliant buddy. I have been planting Gourds. I'm hoping they will grow in my climate. fingers crossed.

They look awesome!! I'm ging to keep an eye on your responses, I'm curius as to where to purchase these seeds too! It sounds like a wonderful plant!

Your doing better than I am it’s been a month and my seeds hasn’t done crap

They were left in the greenhouse thru the winter. Since they are outside now, I'll have to try somehow to protect them from the cold.

Awesome presentation

The leaves are generally harvested and dried. Then made into a powder to be added to food. I haven't done that. I just eat the leaves right off the plant. Its a tree that needs warm weather to survive. So its hard to grow outside in a lot of the country.

The Christmas lights is brilliant!!!!!!

Have you tried growin em hydroponically yet? Id love to get my hands on some of those seeds

I don't need a germination box....but it might be a good idea for keeping these Moringa warm overnight. I'll look into it. Thx.

LOL...from the looks of my plants right now, I'm gonna be starting from seed in a few weeks too ! After I transplanted them, they just went off the deep end.

You made a mini-germinator like cfenster. Very good. Your trees look like they are going to do ok this time. I have been transplanting like crazy. Very time consuming, but fun.

Those are cool little plants. And very nutritious to. Good video, they look great. Can't wait for another update on them. Keeping those guys warm look like it did the trick. I hope I survive the frost tonight!!!!:/

Sure...a good compost, along with some potting mix and perlite would make a nice start for zucchini. Was the plant inside, or outside?

They are growing fast Bobby & a great plant to grow.... if they live.

Love MORINGA! So many Health Benefits!

I hope so. If they are as good as advertised, they could really come in handy.

The Christmas light deal is old-school. Folks have been doing it for many years. In this case, since I needed quick and cheap bottom heat, I improvised. It works great. Just keep them dry.

Yes indeed. :-)

Thanks for the video. I want to know the purpose and the benefit of having the wire and light at the bottom of the plastic box.The light boun or not. Thanks.

Thanks. I don't know anything about LED's, but they sure are getting popular.

I'm growing 3 moringa's in my house they do great and are now 45 days old. :)

Thanx muchly for your hard work!!

Sounds like a plan. I'll keeping watching and hope for the best. Who's to say your idea could be a break through. Just because they do it one way doesn't mean that their way is the only way. My trees are in pots, I did move them so the rain doesn't drown them and added a little bone meal on top of the soil. The leaves are a deeper shade of green now. I'll mix some rock dust and fish fertilizer in tomorrow, see how that works. I know it won't hurt after so much rain washed the nutrients away.

Good luck this year Bobby! Second time is a charm ;)

I am getting ready to plant my first batch of Moringa trees :-)

I don't see any problems in regard to production. You should get a lot of leaves. But it's a warm weather plant. I don't think it would survive winter in NY, unless you put a heat blanket on it. I would put them in big pots, grow them all summer, then cut back to the stump and bring inside for winter. I tried rooting the leaf stems, and got nothing. I was told that I needed to root the woody part of the main stem. So I'll have to try something else.

Yup, I've been juicing too, but it hasn't really helped with the energy. I look forward to planting Moringa this spring, and will let you know how it goes. Do you recommend growing them from seed, or already started from a nursery?

Wow, neat plant.

Thanks.

Love your Christmas lights idea. It's also easier on the electric bill!!!

Haha....yea, I could string the lights on it now to keep it warm...brilliant !

Thanks your video again again! I grow it from seed this July! It’s very good but It’s lost all the leaves from November.(I bring it to indoor.) I just wondering can I have one from you? I live in Globe AZ. Thanks

Hey Bobby, take an old fridge ,gut the motor and compresser.Put a double light socket all the way at bottom.I use two cfl bulbs in that have 13 watts.Put trays in kitty litter boxes with plane of glass on top.Temp stays around 80,does great for germination.See ya

Looking forward to see what kind of recipe you come up with for Moringa! LOL Those trees are growing amazingly fast! Mine's growing but not like yours!

Eggplant are similar to peppers in germination. They need a good 75-80 degrees, and sometimes as much as 2 weeks. Are you sure the seeds are good? If not, do the paper towel test. If its been over 2 weeks, I'd start some more, but scrap the rockwool this time. Let me know how it goes.

Christmas tree lights for heat---Love it!

They aren't a whole lot bigger. I've been letting the temps drop into the 50's in the greenhouse and these plants don't seem to like it. I did cut the growth point so they wouldn't go straight up this time. So they'll be making more of a bush type plant. Supposedly they are very tough, so hopefully they'll kick in gear soon.

i grow moringa in my yard do you let the seeds dry before you plant them . good video thanks

ha ha, very clever with the christmas lights. Well done. Im going to try my hand at indoor growing under LED grow lights.

Hey, how is your moringa today? I'm just getting ready to plant some seeds and will use you some of your experience. I'm expecting to have good results, I hope.

Its a very cool plant. Well worth the effort, I think. I'll try to do a better job this time.

i love the x-mas lights idea!! LOL!.... glad i subbed... thx for the info there buddy...

Great job miss your KZfaq videos 😎

Hey Bobby, I started growing moringa and it was up in three days. Afterward I transplanted to a 4" pot and letting them grow out for about 2 weeks. Next I will put in a 3 gal. pot and start harvesting. How can we develop a market for this product. Thanks Gerald in Florida.

I am just seeing this video so how did your tree come out? I am waiting for my seeds to get here, I am in Ms. I hope they do good here, can’t wait to get started, I have been reading a lot about it so I think I am prepared..Thanks for the video

Wow it's growing great! I have a question tho, would that same potting mix work well in growing zucchini? Because my 4 week zucchini plant just died and I'm trying to see where I went wrong

Your smart! Ok, how long do i keep the christmas lights turned on? I live in florida. Do i still need them? Ty. Debating to buy caps or both

Hi Bobby ,, good job ! are these the ones that have the Cawtawba looking pod ? .. I think I have one on my property ... it must be 30' tall !.. could be something else ..will have to research .. nice vid ..thanks !

my wife use the leaves in a lot of receipts,we have a tree in our back yard about 20 feet tall ,.in the Philippine islands. i manage to grow them in large pots in south Louisina .we never over winter one yet ,but we have filipino friends that have older trees they grew here in louisiana.,im trying again good luck with yours The wife make tea with moringa after drying the leaves,I like it cook in mong beans and soups

Not too good now. It was 28 degrees last Friday, so the leaves are all gone.

Really good information in this video. Where do you buy seeds to grow Moringa? I'd like to try it.

Love your video. I had one tree I think I killed it with too much water. How much do you water?

Nice video, Bobby. I was reading up on the Moringa Oleifera tree, after watching your video. WOW, That is a miricle tree. Where did you buy the seeds?

nice one Bro. i was amaze, propagating seeds from Moringa. Me, all i just was cut the branch and plant it. Now she got "fruits?" and ill try to grow from seed. just experimenting. God Bless you!

mine are still on the napkins but they have sprouted well, and everytime I transfer them to dirt they began to die, so I quickly put them back into the incubator lol.. what can I do? I don't wanna lose my babies!!!they are growing so well on the napkins along. not as fast as his but good enough for me

I enjoyed watching, TY

cool idea.!..but why do you have to gut the motor/compressor ?

Quite a few people do grow them indoors. Keep them pruned so they don't get out of hand and you should be ok.

Millions of aphids? So thats where they all originated ! Right now, the parasitic wasps are really helping out. And I ordered some laybugs last week, trying to bring in reinforcements. I've filmed the wasps in action...its a beautiful sight as they work their way thru a pile of aphids..just amazing.

You're welcome. :)

How much watering do they need after they germinate and are in a container?

is the Moringa plants available in the states and what kind of climate is good for it

Very creative

Does anyone know if moringa will make seeds in the first year? How many months does it take to make seeds. Because where I want to plant them they will die in the winter. I just want to know if the moringa will give me new seeds to plant in the following spring time. Thanks

I don't think they care for winter in the U.S. I've heard of people in FL and TX keeping them going, but that's about it. That's why I planted them in my greenhouse, thinking they'd have a better chance of long term survival.
