Care Instructions for Sowing and Planting in India:
Soil Preparation: Choose well-draining soil. Mix in organic compost to enrich the soil.
Sowing Seeds:
Direct Sowing: Plant the seeds about 1 inch deep directly into the soil.
Germination: Ensure the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Seeds typically germinate in 7-14 days.
Watering: Water the seedlings lightly to keep the soil moist. Once established, Moringa requires minimal watering. Avoid waterlogging.
Sunlight: Moringa thrives in full sunlight. Ensure the plant receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Spacing: Maintain a spacing of 3-4 feet between plants to allow ample room for growth.
Fertilization: Use organic fertilizers like compost or well-rotted manure. Apply a balanced fertilizer once a month.
Pruning: Prune the plant regularly to encourage bushier growth and increase pod production.
Pest and Disease Control: Monitor for common pests like aphids and caterpillars. Use organic pest control methods if needed.
With proper care, Moringa Oleifera can thrive and provide nutritious leaves and pods year-round.
