Growing Instructions:
- Moringa plants should be grown in containers unless you are in USDA zones 9-10, where they can be planted outdoors.
- For container-grown plants, move them indoors or to a protected area during winter to avoid cold temperatures.
- Soak Moringa seeds overnight, then place them in a moist bag for sprouting, which typically takes 3-14 days at temperatures between 70-90°F.
- Once sprouted, plant seeds 1" deep in sandy loam soil, keeping the soil moist but not saturated.
- If starting indoors, transplant seedlings once roots are established and temperatures are consistently above 75°F.
- Gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions before planting them in the garden.
