Bonsai Moringa Tree Plant Seeds Malunggay

Moringa trees grow easily from seeds. They grow quickly even in poor soil and bloom 8 months after planting. Moringa seeds have no dormancy periods and can be planted as soon as they are mature. In the ground: It is best to plant the seeds directly where the tree is intended to grow and not transplant the seedling. The young seedlings are fragile and often cannot survive transplanting. To plant seeds directly in the ground: Choose an area with light and sandy soil, not heavy with clay or water-logged. Dig holes 1 ft (30 cm) square and 1 ft deep. Back-fill the holes with loose soil. Compost or manure will help the tree grow better, even though Moringa trees can grow in poor soils. Plant 3 to 5 seeds in each hole, 2 in. (5 cm) apart. Plant the seeds no deeper than three times the width of the seed (approximately ½ in. or 1.5 cm -- the size of one's thumbnail). Keep the soil moist enough so that the top soil will not dry and choke the emerging saplings, but it should not be too wet or else the seeds can drown and rot. When the saplings are four to six inches tall, keep the healthiest sapling in the ground and remove the rest. Termites and nematodes can kill a young sapling. Take measures to protect saplings from these two dangers. Note: If the soil is heavy, dig a larger hole of up to 3 ft (90 cm) in diameter and 3 ft deep, and backfill with 1 part sand and 2 parts original soil. Added compost or manure will help. In Plastic Bags: When it is not possible to plant directly in the ground, use the following method: Nursery care Fill seedling bags with light soil mixture, i.e. 3 parts soil to 1 part sand. Plant two or three seeds in each bag, ¼ in. (0.5 cm) deep. Keep moist but not too wet. Germination will occur within two weeks. 4. Remove extra seedlings, leaving one in each bag. Seedlings can be transplanted after four to six months when they are 2-3 ft (60-90 cm) high.
