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.
