I love it. I watched many videos that were not as enlightening as yours. I appreciate that you researched many types of germination and demonstrated them to us. Thank you very much. I had removed my seeds from their shells and was concerned that they were not germinating. I'll attempt the no-soak variant and hopefully get something. Thank you!

I love garden experiments! I have a little ‘greenhouse’ in my spare bathroom (shelves, lights and heat mats) and I’ve been trying seeds with light and heat and without one or the other just to see what works to make things quicker and easier in the future. Simple is good. It has been cold, I’ve been wondering how your greenhouse was doing. It kept temps in the 70’s? How about our freezing nights we’ve had? I hope you keep us up to date with the moringa, including how to use it. I’ve heard of it, but really don’t know much about it.

It is funny how sometimes we complicate simple procedures that really could be simple. I have some video filmed with a semi update on the video and the cold nights. Spoiler alert, it's not going 100% amazingly well. Not terrible but I actually did better last year in that AOSOM Greenhouse. I am not sure if it is the plastic we have chosen or if it is the change in heating methods. But stay tuned, that video is coming soon. I will definitely share more on the Moringa. I plan to dry it and make smoothies mixes for the farmers market. Long ways away from that, but that is the vision. Hope you are well! Thanks for being here.

Now my seeds are OLD, like around 10 years old. I soaked half in the shell and planted. It hasn't been 2 weeks yet so still waiting. I removed the seed from the shell and soaked. So far, I have some mold growing in those pots. Maybe moringa is like hatching chicks or helping a butterfly emerge from the cocoon. If you help them, they will emerge damaged. They need to have the strength to break free. Thanks for sharing your video.

Wow. I got a 1000 seed bag from Amazon and I did the no soak/no nicked method on 50 seeds that have been going for 16 days now and I have yet to get any results. This is crazy that yours germinated so fast. I have watered them every day, but made sure not to over do it. That’s strange that none of mine have germinated. And my seeds looked healthy.
@JolleanSmith

I am so sorry to hear that. I don’t have a lot of trust in seeds from Amazon but it all depends on your supplier. I have done more batches and continued to have the same results. I think my last batch 1 seed did not germinate. But the success rate has continued to be high. This is how I do them: Direct in soil. Keep them consistently moist. In a window with some sunlight. Inside the house with average temperatures and no heat mat. 14 days they show up. You could try a heat mat to see if it helps maybe. But I didn’t need one.

I just got some moringa seeds! The instructions said to soak for 8 to 12 hours. I fell asleep and wound up soaking them for over 12 hours. Hopefully they will terminate. It was only 4 seeds from the pack, I will plant more today and not soak them.

Yea mine said to soak too. It’s not that soaking won’t work, just that it is not necessary based on my test, so my guess is you will be AOK! Hope so. Thanks for commenting.

How are the seeds nicked, soaked and buried in nature? Why would you think that would help germination?

Great comment Robert. So I had no clue how to grow Moringa from seed. I watched a lot of videos and read up on it. I was amazed by how many ways people said to do it. Nicking the seed was one of them that came up a few times. I know nicking the seed can speed up some germination, but you are right why bother, nature doesn’t require it. But I had no clue, I just like testing stuff out.

I kept them moist. I didn’t allow them to dry out. In the first three months they need good moisture, after that they shift to a more natural water schedule which can have more drying out.

I see thanks so much. If you could help me with one last question. I live in the high Amazon region in Peru. I have some lands at 1900 meter above sea lv. It has a micro climate of 18 degrees c to 25. In your opinion would moringa thrive in this conditions. I can grow coffee, grapes, chirimoya no problem it’s my first try with moringa. Thanks for the help.

@@192lalo I don’t know enough about Peru to give you too much advice. In a quick search, I do see that there is people growing actual Moringa trees (these seeds were for dwarf trees) in the coastal areas of Peru. Looks like a variety called Moringa Oleifera. If you don’t have a freeze your chances are likely good. But if you are subject to frost and freeze your trees will need to be protected. But I would say spend some time with Google researching it and or plant some and give a few a go, to test it out. That is always the best way to tell, it it makes it the year then add more! Hope that helps.

I have watched many videos on planting moranga seeds and to my surprise no one tells you how to water them after you plant the seed :( Do you water them every day, once a week, what's to much and what's not enough?

@JolleanSmith Жыл бұрын
I just kept them moist. Not soggy, not dry. This will depend on your temperature they are kept in. In a greenhouse it might be everyday. In my case I did it in a low light window with a somewhat humid atmosphere so it was every couple of days. Hope that helps!

The quickest way to propagate moringa tree is just cut a branch of one your big moringa tree about 12 inches and stick to the grown in no time it will grow. 😀

Tried my luck with Moringa for several years. The seeds grow very fast but the critical point is, when the little trees reach 30-40 cm height. Without any change on the plants in location or watering, the leaves start to have white dots and white sections. The result is, that the tree loose leaves, somehow it looks like it's too dry. It always starts with a portion of leaves then is grows. At the end, the little tree stands without leaves and simple dies. I tried to cut off the splices with white spots, remove entire sections, while the tree grow new branches, it ends in the same result. White spots on the leaves, dry up and fall from the tree. I am in Eeast europe Area, maybe this is the reason. I just don't understand, why it grows so fast and nice, and suddenly start dying. I tried several substrates too. If someone have any hints, i would appreciate it.

That is frustrating! I am no expert but it is possible your tree is getting powdery mildew. I get them on the squash and it can be treated with some dish soap, water and baking soda. I have an older video with the recipe for this. Outside of that as I am not 100% sure that is what it is. I would try growing them in a very controlled environment with no overhead watering. Mine is on its third year, I lost a few along the way but I am certain I killed them with my incessant belief that my plants are always thirsty. They are moody trees. One day I have flowers and leaves the next it is yellow and hates me. 😂

@@JolleanSmith Thank you Jollean. I will try the next batch in a little plant house with proper ventilation. Someone said that Neem Oil could help too. Maybe at least one get's over the critical phase. I guess when they are thicker from the root like a tree, they will be more stable and i can put them outside in the garden.

PRIMED: When you soak seeds, they respond better at 1 month & 2 month period. Moringa is fragile. It needs to at least make it 2 months as a test. #asiflifeonearthmatters

Yea I did not see any proof of that. All the seeds performed in accordance to their conditions the same. There is nothing in a soak process to strengthen a seed after germination if you are watering correctly.

@@boomdagreatred4070 hey thanks for commenting. In my experiment the 24 hour soak did not equate to faster germination. The no soak seeds actually germinated faster than those soaked by all methods. Thus, making the soaking step of no benefit. I am in the process of testing some Rhubarb seeds and I found the exact same results. By all means do what works for you. Your steps need to bring you joy and peace. Gardening is our own art in a way and not everyone will do it the same.
