    I love it. I watched many videos that were not as enlightening as yours. I appreciate that you researched many types of germination and demonstrated them to us. Thank you very much. I had removed my seeds from their shells and was concerned that they were not germinating. I'll attempt the no-soak variant and hopefully get something. Thank you!

Because I'm sure in the process of cracking open that outter coating (as others have recommended) I've nicked more than a few of my precious seeds and maybe that's why they're not sprouting!

    I love garden experiments! I have a little ‘greenhouse’ in my spare bathroom (shelves, lights and heat mats) and I’ve been trying seeds with light and heat and without one or the other just to see what works to make things quicker and easier in the future. Simple is good. It has been cold, I’ve been wondering how your greenhouse was doing. It kept temps in the 70’s? How about our freezing nights we’ve had? I hope you keep us up to date with the moringa, including how to use it. I’ve heard of it, but really don’t know much about it.

    It is funny how sometimes we complicate simple procedures that really could be simple. I have some video filmed with a semi update on the video and the cold nights. Spoiler alert, it's not going 100% amazingly well. Not terrible but I actually did better last year in that AOSOM Greenhouse. I am not sure if it is the plastic we have chosen or if it is the change in heating methods. But stay tuned, that video is coming soon. I will definitely share more on the Moringa. I plan to dry it and make smoothies mixes for the farmers market. Long ways away from that, but that is the vision. Hope you are well! Thanks for being here.

So far, I have some mold growing in those pots. Maybe moringa is like hatching chicks or helping a butterfly emerge from the cocoon. If you help them, they will emerge damaged.

By mid day my lighting was bright but no direct sunlight on the seeds. Keep them moist but not soggy. And give them the full 14 days.

    Great comment Robert. So I had no clue how to grow Moringa from seed. I watched a lot of videos and read up on it. I was amazed by how many ways people said to do it. Nicking the seed was one of them that came up a few times. I know nicking the seed can speed up some germination, but you are right why bother, nature doesn’t require it. But I had no clue, I just like testing stuff out.

    Tried my luck with Moringa for several years. The seeds grow very fast but the critical point is, when the little trees reach 30-40 cm height. Without any change on the plants in location or watering, the leaves start to have white dots and white sections. The result is, that the tree loose leaves, somehow it looks like it's too dry. It always starts with a portion of leaves then is grows. At the end, the little tree stands without leaves and simple dies. I tried to cut off the splices with white spots, remove entire sections, while the tree grow new branches, it ends in the same result. White spots on the leaves, dry up and fall from the tree. I am in Eeast europe Area, maybe this is the reason. I just don't understand, why it grows so fast and nice, and suddenly start dying. I tried several substrates too. If someone have any hints, i would appreciate it.

    That is frustrating! I am no expert but it is possible your tree is getting powdery mildew. I get them on the squash and it can be treated with some dish soap, water and baking soda. I have an older video with the recipe for this. Outside of that as I am not 100% sure that is what it is. I would try growing them in a very controlled environment with no overhead watering. Mine is on its third year, I lost a few along the way but I am certain I killed them with my incessant belief that my plants are always thirsty. They are moody trees. One day I have flowers and leaves the next it is yellow and hates me. 😂

    @@192lalo I don’t know enough about Peru to give you too much advice. In a quick search, I do see that there is people growing actual Moringa trees (these seeds were for dwarf trees) in the coastal areas of Peru. Looks like a variety called Moringa Oleifera. If you don’t have a freeze your chances are likely good. But if you are subject to frost and freeze your trees will need to be protected. But I would say spend some time with Google researching it and or plant some and give a few a go, to test it out. That is always the best way to tell, it it makes it the year then add more!
