Caring Tips

Watering

Keep the soil of moringa plants consistently moist, but not wet. Moringa plants do not tolerate ‘wet feet’ and are sensitive to overwatering. Established moringa plants are drought-tolerant, but young plants need more consistent moisture to encourage strong growth. When it comes to watering moringa plants; infrequent, deep watering is better than frequent, light watering.

Light

A bright, sunny location that receives direct sunlight for most of the day is best for moringa plants. Growth may be stunted if the plants do not receive enough light.
