Hi, There is an old saying in Tamil language that "Murungaya vechavan verum kaiyya povan" ( The one plants moringa tree will go empty handed) and it actually means that, The one who plants the moringa tree in their house and then consumes the leaves cooked, Drumstick cooked, will never needs a walking stick. He / she can walk freely with no support in his/ her later ages. And it is. The power of moringa Tree.
Malunggay name of this kind that was planted in the Philippines. Here In Kansas USA,if the weather is cold I picked all leaves, and then I put in the freezer.
I have 4 Moringa trees growing together in a indoor pot,has now reached the roof of our house,I live in Christchurch,New Zealand were in winter it drops to -7 C .Last year they defoliated but came back in the spring time,I will have to cut it back to encourage branching.I also grow water spinach,Jicama,yard long beans,winged beans,bitter melon,Malabar spinach,lemon grass,asian gourds and chili peppers.I find the secret to growing tropical veges in cold climates is lots of liquid plant food,some of them I keep in pots to over winter indoors,the rest I treat as annuals and replant new seeds every spring.
-7 not -8. I'm in canada it goes past -40 sometimes
We love fresh Moringa Tree Leaves here in the Philippines and have been eating it every day lately in our Mungo Bean Soup with lots of garlic cloves, diced tomatoes, squash, onions, other herbs and seasonings. Very plentiful here and inexpensive. Everyone uses it for health and medicinal purposes. The trees are everywhere, no problem growing in this climate. The trees love the tropics in the Archepeligo, nature is alive and very strong! If you throw a stick in the dirt it will grow into a tree. LOL 😎🏖🌴
Turquoise Sunsets small world I was just in your channel a seconds ago, lol
@Nettie Reynolds You'll find Moringa seedling plant sellers in Etsy. Just read the reviews and check shipping costs before placing your order. I hope you get well!
@@JD-uv9uo I got mine on Amazon for super cheap and have had great germination
This means that it is best to grow the moringa in a pot, so that it can be moved depending on the temperature of the season.
I got a Moringa tree from Lowe's for $5 because it was in very bad condition. Got it around May and it recovered very nicely. Almost die on me after I transplanted to the grounds. I cut the top off with all the leaves and flowers. It survived and growing taller than my 6 ft wall. The cold doesn't affect it at all and I also live in Las Vegas (eastside). I planted some from seeds and they are a little yellow but still alive.
amazing u can also eat the fruit the one with seeds its delicious
I also noticed some people all around where I live (Paradise region by the airport) growing moringa trees and lemongrass outdoors year round. But they defoliate every time it gets near freezing. Also worth mentioning that the strong Filipino community around here grows most of these outdoor moringa trees out here.
Hi: my moringa peregrina more than one year old not flowering yet . It's about one and half meter tall. Good vegetative growth.
My moringa (outside of Phoenix) was planted in April as a 1 inch caliper 5ft tall tree. It gets all day sun year round, and now in December it is a 5 inch caliper 20ft tall tree.
Chop it back down to 4ft
before i came in the U.S i live in the philippines i had a lot of moringa i planted cuttings growing paster than the seeds but now i live here in california i tried to plant moringa is working i got 4 trees moringa 8 ft tool now thats 2 year old now im so happy i did it yeeaaahhh
Mine it came back i plant it to the pot and i put inside to our house we have below freezing all the time at minnesota and i was so happy when i saw my moringa growing back🥰
I live in Alberta, Canada. I planted many Moringa seeds and almost all of them sprouted and grow to about 1 foot tall. Unfortunately, they suddenly began to dry out even though I have fertilized and watered them. Is there a secret to get them to keep growing? They grow indoors, in the living room.
sunlight!
Are they in containers? They like it best in the ground, I think in sandy or sandy loam soil. It might be way too cold for them where you live now.
You may grow moringa as annual in cold climate.
They need a ton of sun
I was born in Las Vegas. When I was young we had a pretty extensive garden, and my grandmother had fruit trees.
I have been told they do not survive in New Mexico. I just planted some. Lost cause?
Trying on Vancouver Island . Winter temps drop to -10
I will try it outside in South Carolina with Christmas lights like you have wrapped around the tree all winter, we get some nights around 30f
I grew about 20 trees from seed and here in Oregon it gets cold in the winter.. my greenhouse has been known to keep some semi-tropicals alive so thanks for giving me the encouragement to try :)
Hello! I’m in Vancouver, WA and growing my Moringa by seed. At this point they’re all in pots - have you had any success planting in ground and protecting with mulch/cover in the winter?
I'm planning to have moringa trees and I'm in Oregon too. I plan to have a greenhouse and after all my studies you are the first positive comment I've seen. Yay!
@@MelanieLauree, I saw a video about growing warmer weather plants about digging a deeper hole on the side of the garage, shed, house and just bury the roots under or next to the foundation, then place the dirt back into the hole. Slowly add stuff under the trunk to encourage the trunk to grow towards the sun.
Sweet i just got my first Moringa tree going bout a week ago. Planted 3 only 1 sprouted, but i was surprised it even did with the cold weather. Keeping it inside mostly now till next year.
Did it live? Where do u live? I'm in Ohio. Wondering if it will live indoors here.
Good stuff, John! I'm in Las Vegas and am doing the 'fingers crossed with Moringa in the house' method this year. 😀
The moringa tree can be planted in zone 7 (Dallas Texas)
I'm on zone 7 also and would love to grow it but I have no greenhouse during winter coldness.
How do you protect your moringa in the cold? I also live in the Dallas area and have been told they don't survive our winters.
They will…… inside a protected greenhouse.
Thanks for that information John. I grew Moringa for the first time last summer and none of it made it through the winter. This year I'm planning to chop it down and put mulch around the bottom of it so like you said cross my fingers and hope it will sprout out from the roots next year. Thanks again. I really enjoy your videos
I enjoy your videos to Dave. Keep it up
wtf are you talking about...They do just fine right up to freezing temps. The roots are always fine and always come back.......
Zone 7 for Maringa? I'm in Sequim WA. zone 8.5. Do you think it will survive here?
If you have a clothes dryer or any small heater and a fan, you can use any closed gutter pipe ( downpour) or pvc (@5-6 inches wide) and just send the warmth directly to your Moringa tree on freezing nights. Get creative, build a temp wall around the stalk and blow the heat into there.
I thought all deserts got freezing cold at night. I planted all mine in the ground because they were all dying in the tree pots, they prospered in the ground, it is starting to get cold though.
Have you ever been in a desert during the summer?
I'm going to give Moringa a try next year. Planning on getting the Dwarf Moringa so that I can bring it inside. There is no way I'd be able to keep it alive this long. We've had snow since October. I definitely want to try it out and see the best way to grow it up here in the north. From my understanding with Moringa it doesn't like temps below 70 really. It's interesting to see though that your plants have handled your low temps though.
Can anyone teach me more about water spinach. I practice aquaculture and love any aquaponics crops but the southeast asian water spinach is very illegal in the united states
Mine is 6 Inc inches i have it indoors in a pot.
Thank you for the video on Moringa I live in Arizona between Kingman and Bullhead City. We have grown from seed this year Moringa plant and it's been in the greenhouse I have tried to Nestle it with my tropical plants to keep it warm enough it's. It's still a baby.
Before winter my potted moringa flowered for 1st time. No leaves now. Going to get below 32 this week. Grew above top roof.i hate to cut it back, but i guess its best i do.then put in garage. Im not wanting to go the half mile and cage it like i did moms banana.fingers crossed on both. Take care. Love your garden.
I am starting a garden Please help me to understand if I should remove the grass then add soil? I have free access to large amounts of composted wood chips and will be delivered this winter. I live on Long Island in New York. Thank You B.Champagne
I till it all up together
I just learned about moringa and bought a bag of seeds to eat. Getting used to the flavor but for fun I decided to try to grow some 3 weeks ago. I have 9 little guys out of 10 seeds! I'm impressed and they are so cute, from 1 - 3 inches tall and have the cutest little leaves! This is a major feat for me since most plants would run away screaming if they could when I approach. I water them and they die, but not these! For now I'm keeping them by the windows that get sun and will see how this goes.
Do you have some ideas where can I get the seeds please 😊
My moringa in pot.was in garage laying down.taller than house but thin. Lost its leaves so put outside for nice days. Put layers of hay around pot, on top pot, plus a freeze cloth.it seems to be doing ok. I see new growth at tip. If freezes again I may put back in garage. This is my experimental moringa.maybe I will ride it out, see if survives, or cut back for in garage.lol take care. Love your garden and videos.
The best thing I did for my moringa was cut it in half when it was tall and thin. This was during warm sunny days, but it did wonders, along with a monthly feeding of seaweed and fish emulsion.
These shorter videos are great. Thanks for the information.
Anybody in your world talking about the Grand Solar Minimum
I need to research more on this
Not sure its for real. Been hearing about it for over a decade and supposedly started in 2011, full kick in in 2020. Havent really noticed. Well see but im becoming skeptical.
NOAA said it’s official a couple months ago.
I hear that the more you cut moringa back, the thicker and more proific it grows.....
Moringa transplant just fine. Talk to Shamus O'Leary about it.
Perhaps paint the wall with heat absorbent technology to keep warmer during the night?
I'm sure they grow well in Africa, gets very cold at night in winter
Can you plant it in doors? Here from Spain
Maybe a home brewers heat pad would do the trick for the winter.
Stop begging for money to make a video. Ive made youtube vidoes and it costs nothing. We are not you money bags. Either make them or dont but stop begging.
I didn't notice anything weird or a bunch of begging. It was a helpful video.
Please. auto generated English . Some people are deaf
Thank you for all your many helpful videos. We just bought the Omega VSJ843 from you and had our first juice today. Amazing! I can't believe the difference in "real" juice as opposed to blending and straining as we were doing before. We're sold! Just received my order of dwarf Moringa seeds from Baker Creek and can't wait to sprout a couple. Thanks again!! Have learned a lot from you investing your time and experience.
You could also do a heated pond in the greenhouse to keep it warmer and humid
Smart
I seen moringa trees in Las Vegas grow with little winter protection or a microclimate though. It’s extremely rare for temps. to drop below 28 F unless u live in the outskirts.
My smaller ones are fine at so far to 35. By E and S wall. I am in zone 10b CA Riverside Co
I have leaves and flower pods.
I know of friends in the Riverside area who harvested Moringa leaves and fruit pods this year 2020!!!
What is your growing zone?
I'm number one. We're having a heatwave today here in Northeast OH. It's 34 degrees. Hey it's been in the low 20s for over a week lol. Thanks John
The other plant it's Palo Santo ?
I live in michigan very cold winters .so my question is will it die outside .an if I grow it inside how big will it get
yes it will die in winter for sure. It can grow unto 12 feet in summer. but you can trim it in winter and store it. i put mine in greenhouse. i live in texas.
Hei mister
perkenalkan saya harum murti from indonesia, jika mister membutuhkan moringa saya ada banyak moringa, setiap minggu saya ready 10ton moringa kering siap di giling, thanks mister
thank you john i went to se KENDRICK IN PLANT CITY FLORIDA GED moringa plants thank you VILIAM
Hi John, do you sell moringa seeds?
I've heard of people taking a 55 gallon sealed water container and radiates heat at night close to your tender plants help keeping them from freezing... good luck 🤞
I live in zone 6b, got the plant indoors before it got cold. For some reason the new leaves come and they dry off. What should I do? It's almost 2 ft plant
You talk to damn fast!!!!!
And lets not forget. If you're growing moringa in pots inside your greenhouse you need to make sure that your potting mix is alive and active, thriving with the Soil Food Web. Make sure your potting mix has plenty of Biochar, probiotic, beneficial microbes, fungi, and sustainably sourced fertilizer. These things are all straight forward to prepare on your own, and if you need help check out galilsoil.com.
Thanks for this vid..I left mine outside by accident after cold snap in NW FL mine are wilted too..about to cut them down and hope they come back..thx again
That's weird. I left my baby moringa, who is only 7 inches tall, outside with our cold nights in the mid 40s F, and it's just fine.
What about a double low tunnel technique for the winter if you are in zone 8a? Hot and humid summer, can on occasion go down to the 30s at night in winter. Just bought 1 pound of moringa seeds, want to grow these trees. Thanks 😊
I'm in 8a. Have you had luck?
@@MrsCandaceHaleWeir last year I did by germinating in a wet paper towel first.
what zone are you?
I'm growing it in my greenhouse in Massachusetts! Hopefully it will be able to survive winter
Hi my name is Pat Smith I am for Mobile Alabama I also grow Moringa here in my garden. Do not like the cold but it comes back every year sometime. But I am able to harvest a good bit the leaves to make my moringa powder.
Can i grow moringa in PA in a 5 gal bucket and bring it inside during the cold season? It gets to the teens here sometimes.
How do you make an oil out of it? I am using Moringa organic oil on everything.
Stop yelling .......... you impress no one .......... ditched video right away.
Would you be able to have class for gardening in Las Vegas?
Can I buy clippings from you?
Don’t plants need it to be night time at night? Like don’t they need a break from the lights? It seems like they were just because that’s what happens in nature but having the Christmas lights on all night they wouldn’t get a break I don’t know if that matters though
He said on a timer
light my moringa every night,..all winter?..no way,..it's an excuse to build a greenhouse,..thanx.
I grow Moringa in Melbourne Australia, they hate winter. Lost my last one, last winter. Trying again and planted at the front of the house. I can grow Dragon fruit and Ruby Guava. But not Moringa in winter.
They really like to stay dry in the winter that’s probably why.
Very you from?
Awesome 👌information on moringa plants 🪴😀👏
Greenhouse the plants that need it my friend
Maybe you can put it indoor during the winter...or make a vinyl house .
This is Wow! Ok Mr. John, very interesting to plant moringa...
I planted my Moringa late spring and leave the pot inside my house and now I got 4 inches moringa ❤️😍❤️😍 hopefully it survive specially our weather temperature right in Vancouver British Columbia is cool in the morning, warm in the afternoon & cold at Night 😭😭😭
How is your moringa plant now, a year later. I just ordered seeds. I’m on Vancouver island.
you live inside your neighbor's soul. Geez, charge them rent!
How bout in tevt with lights
Speaking of trees, did you're Jackfruit seeds ever sprout?
Temps here sometimes get down to 28F I'll do my best to protect the Moringa but wondering if people have had good results of keeping them alive over the colder temps.
Have you had success?
@@MrsCandaceHaleWeir Sadly I moved house this year and the old garden didn't get water for months, so no success for me. I'll try again though :)
Do moringa trees grow ok close to creosote trees aka bushes
Given that creosote roots has negative allelopathic properties towards other different plants growing near it, I’d say no.
How do you use the moringa plant? Thank you. Great channel.
th-cam.com/video/0biAkGtkCf4/w-d-xo.html
Great
Hope you're in a safe fire safe zone of CA, peace!
Do you have seeds?
Wow my bell gets unchecked at least once a week now! It was that way now!
Hahaha your introduction rocks!
Thought it sad marijuana ngl
We will be growing these trees soon but I’m in north FL so will need to adjust the weather conditions for them
Hi, saw you read about concerns growing this in north Florida. Sadly we haven't seen any replies to your question. My wife and I are wondering if you found any info yet from somewhere else because we have ordered three 3inch tall plants and are hoping that we can have them grow here in Pensacola Florida.... even though today is suppose to drop down in the 30's. What do you think our chances are...? Thank you for any help that you may have and good luck with yours and God bless.
I know what you mean about north FL, I'm from Jacksonville. It can get to single digits and the humidity sends the cold right to the bone in winter, even in the 30s. I now live in Mass and I'm growing them inside for the winter in pots to be moved outside when it warms up since the ground freezes here for months. I already have a couple of 3 yo sago palms I move back and forth, so the more the merrier!
I wish I could grow kratom trees in Oregon.
You can. Inside.
Good information Thank you John !
Can Moringa be grown in cooler climates , like in the 60s?
You would have to baby it. I kept mine in a green house. Just wish my green house was taller. I live in Oregon.
Like 60s daytime temperatures? It actually depends on how cold your winters get. As long as it does not ever get colder than 25 F.
So I take it I can't grow it in Utah/Idaho?
Not outside in winter but maybe start some inside and have them for winter then transplant them when it warms up. You can just restart new inside ones every fall.
Maybe in St. George, Utah (zone 8b-9a) with a good microclimate.
Perfect timing, just received some moringa seeds.
Same lol
This is THE WORST time of year to start moringa seeds, you'll have much better results if you wait. Above all else, moringas LOVE heat. Plant seeds in late spring or late summer (which is when the pods ripen & drop naturally). Under the right conditions moringas will grow super fast, there's nothing lost by waiting for warmer weather, and your plants will be stronger.
Hi John. I have a moringa tree that has been growing in a pot for two years. But, it has never flowered. I bring it in side during the winter and give it enought light, but I think I have missed the mulching part. I will try that this year. Thank you for sharring this video.
God bless you 👍
Also try a bigger pot
It's getting down below 50 in central west cost Florida . My Moringa is in a pot and I was considering putting it the ground. Is that ok? Also how much watering should i be doing with it?
You have to be really careful not to damage the taproot, best to transplant them when they're young. That taproot goes deep so the trees are extremely drought-tolerant & will do great even without supplemental watering.
Above all else, moringas love heat. Best time to plant seeds or transplant is late spring or late summer.
"How to grow marijuana" with John
It seems like the tree will bounce back once ot gets warm again. This tree is hard to kill forever.
I have 4 moringa trees in my backyard 😄
where’s your location? soni can get idea if it grow where i am. thanks
I planted my first moringa seed yesterday. I put it in a five gallon bucket with loose potting mix and some alow release balanced fertilizer. I just wanna get it good and developed before putting it in the ground. I'm gonna bring it in during winter and put it under grow lights. I'm gonna baby it like a child. Come spring I'm gonna plant about 50 trees around my property. I have a bunch of compost cooking just for these bad boys. I'm gonna get the wholes for them ready over the winter so they have a nice home. Gonna put a bunch of wood chips in the holes with manure to get as much fungus because I've read trees grow better in fungally dominant soil. Any suggestions on improvements for growing my moringa?
