Sunlight Needs:

Watering:
Drought-tolerant once established. Water regularly during the first few months after planting. Allow soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.

Fertilization:
Not required, but you can apply compost or a light organic fertilizer in early spring and summer to boost leaf production.

Pest & Disease Tips:
Naturally resistant to most pests and diseases in South Florida. Watch for aphids or caterpillars on young leaves—treat with neem oil if needed.

Planting Tips:
Transplant in spring or fall. Space away from structures to accommodate rapid upward and outward growth. Cut back annually to encourage bushy leaf growth and easy harvest.

Special Notes for South Florida Gardeners:

• Can be grown as a perennial tree or cut back seasonally as a “moringa hedge” for continual leaf harvest.

• Leaves are edible raw or cooked—rich in protein, iron, and antioxidants.
