i have been growing a moringa in a pot since 2015 in nyc...videos on my channel for proof. moringa should be grown by everyone. eat real food. grow real food!!!! btw Jon. you have inspired me since your early videos..thanks for your work.
It’s great in a pot but you definitely need to up-pot it EVERY year or you won’t have as much vigor. They do tend to get root bound in pots and it really limits growth
iDo back to eden gardening and I cut And drop.... Every year I throw in some amendments.And top it off with a little bit of compost or good soil.... It has been alive since two thousand and fifteen , and it produces every season... Even indoors.... My only problem with it is that spider mites absolutely love it..... And it then spreads spider mites to all my plants.So I have to separate it from everybody
Perfect timing! My neighbor was kind enough to share a small moringa tree that he started from seed. In exchange, I gave him a dragon fruit that I had in a small 5 gallon pot that was ready to be transplanted.
Fox Farms Ocean Forest is good dirt to get some seeds started; John & Bob may not like to hear that, however it has been working for this nube. You go really deep into constructing your soils it's great that you do, you are a great teach; a $30.00 bag of soil should get some seeds going; the worm shit will fill in the gaps. 😊
Hey John I live in the Philippines and grow hundreds of moringa. We give away 12" and taller trees for fence lines. They make fantastic LIVING FENCES and of course being edible for tea, smoothies and various recipes. I made a short video on my channel. Everyday we use Moringa. It's an amazing useful tree with so many uses. Have you tried the ROOT? It tastes like HORSERADISH. Hence the nick name Horseradish tree
I’ve seen a few on Etsy if you do a search, you can get a cutting or rooted plant. Oh I see he recommends using seeds over cuttings. I’ve seen seeds on Etsy as well.
Yay I’m so excited to see this video, I’d like to add moringa to my container garden of various greens but wasn’t sure if it was workable.🪴 Your videos are so helpful. Thank you! (Central FL)

😊We Grow Moringa and use it fresh, usually in our Green Drink. Thanks! ❤
i was just looking up how to help my moringa survive this upcoming winter in NC. then u posted this.
I live in SC and hack mine and bring the stumps indoors until april. They really need the heat for them to spring back up from dormancy
@@Youngstomata do u water them at all when in dormancy phase? thank u
Growing Moringa now thanks to you…
Thanks! I have one Moringa tree growing in a very large container, and growing from a cutting. I might plant more seeds in the same pot now. Zone 9B.
I guess I need plant my dwarf moringa seeds that I purchased from Baker Creek months ago. Lol take care, I love your garden.
Cool video. Good to see you again john

So, it's a super plant.

The root supposedly has small amounts of a neurotoxin. I wouldn't eat it.
@@Erewhon2024 We eat it several times a month for over 15 years. Not dead yet🥰
You said the click below defined the UA-cam video on preparing your special soil, but I can’t find it
I purchased some dwarf moringa seeds from baker creek, wish me luck, I have 4 baby plants now.
If anyone wants a Moringa they are super easy to grow by seed!
Where do you recommend we get the seeds? I’ve been buying and using powdered moringa for years. Would love to grow my own on the balcony.
What is a salad tree? How do you get cranberry hibiscus to fill out and not be tall and skinny.
How can they grow in pots when they have such a big tap root??
Where can I get a moringa plant?

@@allrightallrightallright1919 thank you!
@@kellyeverett2566 you’re welcome!
I recommend search ‘growmoringa’ and buy his
Careful with moringa smoothies i knew someone that made them puke it was to pure
It might be an allergy. It is wise to try new food species in small amounts.
