Drumstick Seeds (Moringa)

Get your seeds ready before planting! Soak them in warm water for 24 hours to soften the seed coat and boost germination. Plant them about an inch deep in a well-draining soil mix, then give them a good watering to keep the soil moist. Make sure they get plenty of sunlight, and in about two weeks, you’ll start seeing tiny sprouts pop up. Happy planting!

Absolutely! Moringa oleifera, often called drumstick or Moringa, is one versatile plant with numerous names—it’s also known as horseradish and malunggay. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, it's a nutritional powerhouse. And here's the best part: it’s not just the leaves! The pods, along with other parts of the tree, have earned their fame both in the kitchen and in traditional medicine. Quite the all-rounder, right?

Moringa seeds sprout quickly, usually within two weeks. Loosen the soil by digging a hole about a foot deep and wide. Plant 3-5 seeds in each hole, about half an inch deep, then cover them with soil. Water gently to keep the soil moist but not too wet. With the right care, you’ll see sprouts in no time!

Absolutely! Soaking Moringa seeds in warm water for 24 hours helps soften the seed coat and kickstarts the germination process. This speeds up sprouting, making it easier for the seedlings to break through the soil. Once soaked, your seeds are all set for planting!

The best time to grow Moringa is from March to May and July to October, as it loves warm summers and mild winters—perfect for tropical and subtropical climates. Plant the seeds in well-draining, slightly acidic soil, and keep the soil moist with regular watering. Make sure they get plenty of sunlight for healthy growth. A little fertilizer helps, and an annual prune will keep the tree manageable while encouraging more branches. Happy growing!
