My 4 year old Moringa tree is a regular one , the seedlings I showed you in this video are dwarf variety which I am experimenting with this year to see if there is any benefit of growing the dwarf one. It is possible the dwarf will give me adequate moringa pods to harvest , which is not my aim for growing it , I grow it purely for the leaves but it may help others who are keen to grow it both for pod and leaves . The regular moringa grows perfect too in my small space in grow bags as long as it is getting adequate sun , it has produced 2 pods just once .
Any chance you can do an update on the differences you found in growing regular and dwarf moringa? I would be very interested in hearing what you have to say. You really do have a beautiful little system developed for yourself. I like the music and how you do your videos, too. So relaxing and very easy to follow. I get so tired of these videos that shout or spend all their time speed-talking at me. Loved the CaliKim vid with you too. #GirlGardenersRule LOL
I live in Oregon and got the idea I couldn't grow moringa here. I was sent a few seed pods from a friend in Calif. about 9 months ago and kept them Your video has encouraged me to plant the seeds. It is April now so our warm weather should be here by the time to put them in a larger pot in a sunny window.
Amazing. It worked for me. I am so thrilled because I survive on Moringa and Ocra due to glycemic imbalances. Muringa is a miracle 🌲. I love your spirit. Mumbai and it's space limitations have not constrained you. Where the mind is free and open you can create space. Truly inspired by you.
THIS was a terrific video...good camera work, step by step. Good job. Supposed to get some seeds tomorrow. Appreciate your help very much. Jesus bless.
Thanks for this very informative video. I am an organic farmer and presently struggling with the low germination rate of moringa seeds in my farm. You have provided the solution to me. Thanks once again.
So happy to see your video. Glad to know they can be potted in a large container and not necessarily in the yard. I live in rental property and once, many years ago, I started some lemon trees from seeds. I gave all away but one, planted it in the yard. Later we lost our house due to financial difficulties and so I chose to not try to remove the tree, wishing not to shock it. It was so beautiful....
Thanks :) . Yes they grow very nicely in big pots or drums and if the weather is hot , they are even happier . Moringa is such an underrated tree , everyone should grow at least one , weather permitting.
I stuck my finger in the dirt in the planter 3 times, put a seed in each, covered back up and watered. 3 weeks later they were ready to put in separate pots. That was yesterday. They are 4 inches high.
Hello, how are you doing? Soon after I sent you the last message, I was able to get some moringa seeds from the US. It was from a company that sells all kinds of seeds and before you replied advising me about your friend. Next time I will definitely get from your friend. I had received the seeds a few days ago and I started the germination according to your video and advice. They germinated yesterday and I thought of telling you about it and to thank you once again for this video. In am here today to see how you transplanted them from the paper towel. Thanks again and God Bless.
Great that you got some moringa seeds and they germinated , yayyy , just give them the sunniest spot and water very very little for your weather . My friends YT channel is lovers4healthylife , it is an active channel , I think I mentioned for instead of 4 , hence you could not find it .
Thanks for your reply. I had transplanted the germinated seeds from the paper towel to cups following your instructions and the seedlings started to grow. Right now they look like yours did on 18.01.2017. I was very happy to see them grow but now they have started to droop. The stalks are very thin and frail looking. It is still very cold in Toronto so I have them indoors by a window. I came to see your video again and you have mentioned they should be watered from the bottom. I had missed that even though I have seen your video umpteen times. I was giving them very little water every couple of days. Now I shall be very careful and I hope they dont die on me. Incidentally this is the first time in my life seeds have germinated for me - all thanks to your instructions. I cant thank you enough. Best regards
Thank you from Michigan, USA. I have been trying to grow a Moringa Tree for a couple of years, finally I have one going in my greenhouse. Could use more help 🇺🇸
One thing I can tell you about moringa is the more heat the better . It grows along roadsides here in Mumbai uncared for and flourishes in peak summers when other plants and humans are wilting . Drought tolerant too , nitrogen fixer , does not like being babied . Prune it to promote a bushier shorter tree in warm weather when it shows active growth .
Thank you for your new idea to grow the Moringa seeds easily. Your presentation was excellent. Congrats. ?I would like to know the organic manure to be given to this plant periodically. That would be certainly beneficial for the viewers.
I thank you so much great informative video thanks for taking your time i manage to grow some but your method is so much better no guessing before it goes into the ground you are the best.
Awesome tutorial on growing Moringa! I planted a few seeds indoors in soil, but the growth was really slow. I will try paper towel method as well. Happy Gardening! :)
Thanks Peaches , soaking seeds prior , paper towel and then in the cup really work beautifully till it is warm enough outside , there is no stopping for Moringa in the heat , they just lap it up with minimal or no care .
Paper towel method,,,this works a treat for so many types of seeds. It may be a bit cold here for Moringa to grow trough the winter though,,,Very useful video for lots of people out there, great stuff. You can take Moringa cuttings too, yes. A friend in the Philippines does it that way. Happy Gardening Marty
Thanks Marty , yes paper towel works so well for so many seeds . But most folks here in India who are blessed with an open space or a terrace garden prefer to direct sow either in a pot or in ground or in a seedling tray . Yes moringa grows beautifully from woody cuttings . Happy gardening to you as well !!
Thanks for the demo. Brilliant video and great job for keeping it simple. For all the viewers I have tried this personally at home and it works perfectly. I have taken picture of the entire process. I can't thank you enough for sharing this genuine info online. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for a very nice tutorial. I have just purchased some Moringa seeds and your video helped me understand how to germinate them. Best regards from Orlando, Florida USA
This is an inspiring and beautiful video - thank you so much. I have just received seeds from China to try and grow moringa in the uk for the first time. I wish you health and happiness.
Thank you !! It wasn't so easy when I began around 4 years ago but I have keenly observed and experimented over the years and am happy to share every detail as I would love more people with space like mine to be able to experience the joys of growing :):)
Very informative... I'm from Navi Mumbai and I have a small balcony facing east with ample sunlight for 3hours. I started to grow greens from last year and would like to try something like moringa this year. Your video is very useful and easy to follow. It motivates the novice like me to learn more about gardening.
Thank you , glad you found the video helpful . So you get 3 hours sun through the year , that is wonderful , you can have a chilly plant , curry leaf plant , may be cherry tomatoes , moringa , lemon grass , ajwain patta ( Cuban oregano , grows easily from cuttings ) . Regular moringa will do fine if you dont find dwarf , as I mentioned before , just keep pruning once the plant is established and you feel it is falling and needs support , cut off 6 inches or more from the top. It will send out side growth and more leaves for you. Resist the temptation of pulling out leaves from the bottom .
It‘s such an amazing plant. I live in middle Europe, so not the perfect climate to grow it. But I start the third attempt today. With the help of a lamp, when days get shorter.
Moringa loves the heat so much it thrives in it , the hotter the better . I would suggest growing it as an annual in the warmest months in your region for success . Best wishes .
I'm the one that should thank you 🤗, but pls if I may ask how long would I wait for the seed to sprout, cos I try 20seeds but it's only few that germinate
Suzanne Fernandes The 4 year old was in the kitchen window till last year and it would shade out everything in that window , hence I shifted it to window no 5 , lower level . Just above this was my prik keep nu last year . It's doing ok . barely got 1 hour sun since September. Now it will start getting more sun.
Glad you find the video helpful , I have another detailed video on moringa on my channel , do have a look since you are growing in a balcony just like me .
Hello, how are you doing? In the beginning of your video you mentioned these seeds are available on amazon.in. Can you please advise which ones are good? Thanks and kind regards
Would you prefer to buy from the US ? I have a friend who has lovely moringa seeds , her you tube channel name is lovers for healthy life , you could connect with her . Here on ebay.in , there are just a handful of sellers who come up when you search moringa seeds , you can buy from any of them .
We don’t have winter here in Mumbai, lowest would be 18 Celsius for a few days in December or January . Moringa leaves become yellow at this time for us and shed . Most of the year we are between 30 to 38 C , the hotter it gets , moringa thrives . You could grow in a container and get it indoors if possible in south facing area . Or then grow annually.
That was very thorough and helpful information! I direct-sowed the dwarf seeds... it's been about 5-6 days. Temps have been 70-80 F Do you know how long it should take to germinate? Thanks❤️
Thanks Kristy ! They will germinate in 7 to 10 days , direct sowed ,it just takes way longer as I mentioned in the video . Just keep it watered well so that seed doesnt dry up . Once they come up they grow so rapidly if it is warm enough you will be surprised .
Mam , Good morning Thanks the seed germinated in just 48 hrs , I want to grow in grow bags can I put the seed directly in final bag to avoid re transplantation. Waiting for your ans asap. Regards
Better to put in a cup and let it get nice and healthy , . The next transplant is straight foward and easy like you saw in the video . Your seedling with do really well this way , in a big bag at this stage it would be mismatch of water needs .
Hello Mumbai Balcony Gardiner: just saw yr video - & got a few seeds today from a friend - shall follow your recommendation, Question - how low temp can this plant withstand..because this Jan was abnormal got wind shield temp as low as 2degrees F in south Gulf coast & quite a few plants could not withstand the intense cold weather. As an eg: We had a Plumeria in Bombay going back 45 years in time - was good all year - but over here the when temp hits 40F had to bring it indoors and so far so good it is 13 years old. Please comment ..thanks
These are heat loving trees , thriving without care in heat of May and October in Mumbai . The leaves turn yellow in monsoons and even in the very mild cool season that we have in Mumbai year end , 20 to 25 C . You will need to grow these as annuals if you have winter and probably bring them into your garage if possible . Check @californiagardening for his moringa video .
Thank you dear Lady for uploading this interesting and informative video, I recently bought some Moringa seeds in a healthfood store here in Mexico and am I so eager to plant them, I will use your example with the wet paper towel and hope soon to have my own Moringa tree as well as share with friends and family here. Thumbs up and greetings from Querétaro, Mexico. :) Hmm, your avatar and channel name, I think I've seen you on Paul's lifeinthailand channel, am I right? lol...
you video is nice, short and precise. thank you. Can i grow moringa from the seeds that i find in the drumstick that i use as food? will those seeds grow? or do i have to buy chemically treated seeds?
Hi Prisha thanks 😊. Definitely you don't need to buy chemically treated seeds . If the moringa pod has dried on the tree definitely you can use those seeds to grow , however seeds in green pods that we eat are not mature and will not germinate .
Supriya Bk Hi thanks . The pods need to dry on the tree and from this dried pod you can collect seeds . If you dry the green pods from the market and collect seeds ,they will most probably not germinate.
Hi I want to grow this moringa plant here in America Georgia but I'm thinking about weather bcz in winter very cold like freezing could you tell me please is cold weather ok for this moringa plant or not. Thanks
What I will suggest is you grow the dwarf variety in a large pot and move it indoors in the winter . moringa thrives in the heat , the hotter the better . Even when it cools down slightly in Mumbai which is like 20 C , moringa leaves start to turn yellow . I don't know how cold it gets in your area but I know of a gardener in North Carolina - Permaculture Homestead is the name of this channel , he has moringa growing in his back yard and the tree comes back to life in spring since the last 2 years . If you have similar weather , you could try in ground and see if it works for you next season.
Hi those seeds will be raw , actually they are edible . You need to collect seeds from the pod that has dried on the tree . ( The long green stick should be brown on the tree and you will have seeds that look like what I have sowed) .
Will they grow in the Northeast During the Spring & Summer Months also Or do the become to large to bring indoors during the Winter Months also, Thanks for sharing etc
Moringa is the type of tree that you can just cut it back to whatever level you want to cut it back to in order to move it I've seen somebody cut back a tree that may have been 8 feet tall all the way down to about 1 foot and then take stalks and branches after removing the leaves take those stalks and branches and cut them up into three foot lengths and put those in the ground and almost everything grows. Another great thing about Moringa is that you don't have to plant it right away you can hold on to it to plant later.
Hi, i heard in one of your post about sunn hemp plant. Any idea if we get seeds for this plant. i am not able to get it in Chennai or not found it properly
Yes sunn hemp seeds are easily available in certain states of India , it is used by farmers as green manure or to fix nitrogen in the soil , so you will probably get it at stores that sell seeds for farmers rather than kitchen gardeners . Here in Mumbai I got it from Namdeo Umaji at Byculla for Rs 200 per kg , I have it in my fridge since 2 years , excellent germination. It is also known as Indian hemp , Madras hemp . You could show them a picture of the flowers . It is available certain months of the year when the farmers are going to sow, they have told me to check in April for the seeds .
Thanks for this VALUABLE information Madam. I had a querie After deeseeding from the drumstick should we need to dry it for a couple of days? I had got a organic drumsticks so I want to grow it. Please help me madam
Welcome !! To collect viable seeds , your drumstick pod should dry on the tree . In that case , seeds are fully dry any ways. You won't be able to grow from seeds saved from a green pod .
@@mumbaibalconygardenerhobbies Thanks for Replying. Well I had a drumstick which is removed from the tree so can I make it dry or should I remove seeds from drumstick and dry them and plant it in land as I had some place?
nice music reminds me of the labyrinth with David Bowie .you also will want to make sure you put holes in the bottoms of your pots I personaly like to keep the soil looser in the pots more room for the roots , great video .
My 4 year old Moringa tree is a regular one , the seedlings I showed you in this video are dwarf variety which I am experimenting with this year to see if there is any benefit of growing the dwarf one. It is possible the dwarf will give me adequate moringa pods to harvest , which is not my aim for growing it , I grow it purely for the leaves but it may help others who are keen to grow it both for pod and leaves .

Thank you from Connecticut in united States! This is very clear and simple and I appreciate this video you made!
thank you for posting this video. i used your paper towel method, whice was a success. Today I moved the 4 seedlings to the cup. wish me luck.
Congratulations and best wishes 🙂, hope you have lots of moringa leaves to use very soon . Do see my moringa playlist for more videos and recipes 🌿🌿.

Thanks :) . Yes they grow very nicely in big pots or drums and if the weather is hot , they are even happier . Moringa is such an underrated tree , everyone should grow at least one , weather permitting.
A cutting may have worked.... But for next time! I use a rooting hormone on cuttings for more chance of success!
I stuck my finger in the dirt in the planter 3 times, put a seed in each, covered back up and watered. 3 weeks later they were ready to put in separate pots. That was yesterday. They are 4 inches high.
What a grand tutorial. Thank you so much! I agree about Moringa being important to cultivate, especially as we grow older to gain its many benefits.
Thank you so much for this video!!! I love your simple and to the point approach!!
Your video is excellent. You sowed everything step by step very clearly. I liked your video very much. (I am also from India) Thank you very much.
Trust me the knowledge you imparted here about moringa is outstanding. Thanks for sharing.
Happy to know , thanks 😊
Thank you do much for uploading..
I will keep on trying here in Europe .

The best video on drumstick seeding i have ever seen
Suuuuuuuper
Even I thought moringa can b grown only in the ground. Thanks for the good video.
My moringa seed has just sprouted.

Welcome , do update once you are successful 🙏.
@@mumbaibalconygardenerhobbies I will make an update.
I’ve grow dozens of Moringa trees to 1-2 feet tall. At that size the wildlife eats them. Every one of them.
Thankyou very much for your gracious help.
My pleasure 😊 .
Thank you mam i will try with my drumstick😊.
Thank you, I just got some seeds yesterday so I can plant them now. Best Wishes.

Hi MBG ,i like your four year old moringa plant growing out of your grills :)) even the baby seedlings are lovely lush and healthy ☺
Suzanne Fernandes The 4 year old was in the kitchen window till last year and it would shade out everything in that window , hence I shifted it to window no 5 , lower level . Just above this was my prik keep nu last year . It's doing ok . barely got 1 hour sun since September. Now it will start getting more sun.
Very useful bit of information.
I'll be starting mine this week.

I will try this method.. Thank you, what is the soil mix you used to fill in the long cups.. Please reply
Please check my potting mix videos . Good luck 🤞.
Thank you for your wonderfully presented video on Moringa plant and how to grow it from seeds. Will share my experience, wish me luck!
Glad you enjoyed the video and I wish you great success with your moringa seeds , happy growing !!
Thank you sis. Thak you for the lesson. Do you need to use rooting hormone. Is water is enough?
For germinating seeds not needed . To grow from cuttings you may although they root easily even without.
@@mumbaibalconygardenerhobbies Thank you

Thumbs up and greetings from Querétaro, Mexico. :)
Hmm, your avatar and channel name, I think I've seen you on Paul's lifeinthailand channel, am I right? lol...
Hello , thank you for watching and welcome to the channel , You are right , I do watch Life in Thailand on a regular basis :)
Thank you very much
Welcome !!
you video is nice, short and precise. thank you. Can i grow moringa from the seeds that i find in the drumstick that i use as food? will those seeds grow? or do i have to buy chemically treated seeds?
Hi Prisha thanks 😊.
Definitely you don't need to buy chemically treated seeds .
If the moringa pod has dried on the tree definitely you can use those seeds to grow , however seeds in green pods that we eat are not mature and will not germinate .
I agree paper towel method worked wee for me. I just subscribed to your channel 💖
I use this method for big seeds and difficult seeds , it works really well :) , thank you .
Thanks for the video. I wish to add the dwarf variety to my garden. Can you suggest a place to acquire seeds/sapling? Thanks in advance,
Simple, effective video!
Thank you 😁
Thank you , very helpfull as i try to plant the moringa tree and not success , bless ya
Welcome and hope you have success with this method !!
Hello, great video.. can we just get the pods and dry them and use it as seeds.??
Supriya Bk Hi thanks . The pods need to dry on the tree and from this dried pod you can collect seeds . If you dry the green pods from the market and collect seeds ,they will most probably not germinate.
after it gets sprouts it must be transferred to a plastic cup right then you have water daily? to the seed in the plastic cup?
Yes plant in tall cup . Definitely not to be watered daily unless it is on terrace in full sun . . Water only when potting mix is dry .
Thank you Madam
Thank you I learned some things... nice video.
Thanks for watching !!
Excellent
Thanks !!
Hi mam can i use seeds from the beans fresh directly...
Hello . You need seeds that are dried in the pod on the tree .
thank you for this
Did you know you can eat the leaves as well? Beautiful...
Yes !! I grow moringa only for it's leaves 😄. Have a few recipes using moringa leaves in my moringa playlist .
So nice information...I rate it wih star
Thank you.
Hi
I want to grow this moringa plant here in America Georgia but I'm thinking about weather bcz in winter very cold like freezing could you tell me please is cold weather ok for this moringa plant or not.
Thanks
What I will suggest is you grow the dwarf variety in a large pot and move it indoors in the winter . moringa thrives in the heat , the hotter the better . Even when it cools down slightly in Mumbai which is like 20 C , moringa leaves start to turn yellow . I don't know how cold it gets in your area but I know of a gardener in North Carolina - Permaculture Homestead is the name of this channel , he has moringa growing in his back yard and the tree comes back to life in spring since the last 2 years . If you have similar weather , you could try in ground and see if it works for you next season.
I bought some fresh (not dry) moringa (look like long green stick with seeds in it) do I still follow the paper towel method or?
Hi those seeds will be raw , actually they are edible . You need to collect seeds from the pod that has dried on the tree . ( The long green stick should be brown on the tree and you will have seeds that look like what I have sowed) .
Will they grow in the Northeast During the Spring & Summer Months also Or do the become to large to bring indoors during the Winter Months also, Thanks for sharing etc
Moringa is the type of tree that you can just cut it back to whatever level you want to cut it back to in order to move it
I've seen somebody cut back a tree that may have been 8 feet tall all the way down to about 1 foot and then take stalks and branches after removing the leaves take those stalks and branches and cut them up into three foot lengths and put those in the ground and almost everything grows.
Another great thing about Moringa is that you don't have to plant it right away you can hold on to it to plant later.
If you grow in a container, can you be brought in a house in the winter time and do good in the house?
If you can give it sun yes
Super
Varey good enfarmation madam
Hi, i heard in one of your post about sunn hemp plant. Any idea if we get seeds for this plant. i am not able to get it in Chennai or not found it properly
Yes sunn hemp seeds are easily available in certain states of India , it is used by farmers as green manure or to fix nitrogen in the soil , so you will probably get it at stores that sell seeds for farmers rather than kitchen gardeners . Here in Mumbai I got it from Namdeo Umaji at Byculla for Rs 200 per kg , I have it in my fridge since 2 years , excellent germination. It is also known as Indian hemp , Madras hemp . You could show them a picture of the flowers . It is available certain months of the year when the farmers are going to sow, they have told me to check in April for the seeds .
Good information thank you
Vishvander Pannu Thanks , glad you found it useful 👍.
Nice video :-). is Jatropha seeds easy to come by in India ?
Thanks !!
Jatropha plants easily available , not heard of seeds .
Thanks for this VALUABLE information Madam. I had a querie
After deeseeding from the drumstick should we need to dry it for a couple of days?
I had got a organic drumsticks so I want to grow it. Please help me madam
Welcome !! To collect viable seeds , your drumstick pod should dry on the tree . In that case , seeds are fully dry any ways. You won't be able to grow from seeds saved from a green pod .

Thanks for Replying.
Well I had a drumstick which is removed from the tree so can I make it dry or should I remove seeds from drumstick and dry them and plant it in land as I had some place?
It is really amazing
Wow! Great video
Can you do this using frozen mornings sticks?
nice music reminds me of the labyrinth with David Bowie .you also will want to make sure you put holes in the bottoms of your pots I personaly like to keep the soil looser in the pots more room for the roots , great video .
Thanks 😊
