About three weeks ago we had a guest speaker at our church who was doing misionary work in Africa.  This lovely lady talked about Moringa oleifera/The miracle tree and immediately got my attention.  When I got home that morning, I went in search of some seeds so I could plant my own Moringa trees and found some on eBay.  The seeds finally arrived in the mail last monday and I immediately googled how to germinate the them.  This morning they are showing signs of peeping through the soil and I am so excited.  Will keep you up to date on their progress as I go along.  This is a learning experience for me.

Soil: Plant Moringa seedlings in rich, organic soil with plenty of aged manure. Do not use chemicals on the trees. Dr. Earth manufactures many good organic fertilizers and potting soil. Organic potting soil is better for the plants and our environment. In this way, you will have organic moringa leaves for your tea.

Growing Moringa Trees by Cuttings: Once you have mature trees, you can grow the Moringa from cuttings. Take a mature branch and plant it in soil. Pack the soil around the cutting and water it every other day. It is best to plant the cutting during the early summer.
