Moringa Tree - A Great Permacuture Plant for Florida

How grow Moringa oleifera in containers

When you plan on growing your tree in a container, cut the main tap root. The tap root runs deep into the soil in search of water. Before you plant that tree cut that tap root. By cutting the root you stimulate vigorous lateral but shallow root growth. This root growth is better suited for container growing. Moringa trees planted without a pruned tap root perform poorly in containers.

Move the newly planted tree to a bright location out of direct sunlight. After 6 weeks, move the tree out towards more sunlight gradually to acclimate it to the hot sun.

Growing Moringa trees in containers is easy so long as you keep the soil moist (not soaked with water) and allow it to dry out a little once a week.
