How To Grow Moringa Plant In Pots

Swaminathan, a gardener at a local nursery in Dwarka, offers a comprehensive guide on growing Moringa plants in pots,

Choosing the Container: Select a spacious pot with excellent drainage, at least 18 inches deep and wide enough for root development.

Potting Mix: Use well-draining soil enriched with compost or organic matter to provide essential nutrients.

Planting: Plant Moringa seeds or seedlings about one inch deep in the soil, ensuring they are appropriately spaced.

Sunlight Requirements: Position the pot in a sunny spot that receives 6-8 hours of sunlight daily for optimal growth.

Watering Routine: Maintain consistent soil moisture by watering deeply when the top layer feels dry, avoiding waterlogging.

Fertilising: Apply organic fertiliser regularly to promote healthy growth and enhance productivity.

Mulching: Use organic mulch such as straw or shredded leaves to retain moisture and prevent weed growth.
