Growing Instructions

Drum stick grows well in tropical areas with warm climate and sandy soil. It is a fast growing tree. Leave enough space between each plant as they spread out when grown. It can be grown on pots and transplanted when they grow to about 8 inches high. The best way is to sow them directly in the soil. Select the planting space which receives direct sun and fill with enough organic manure and make the soil loose.  In hard soil it does not grow well. Sow the seed at a depth of 3/4^th of an inch and cover with loose soil. Keep the soil damp. Germination will take place in 7 to 15 days. While the plant starts to grow water well. After the plant has grown into a tree it may with stand drought. Use manure for good yield. It does not require much water after fully grown but water them occasionally. Both moringa fruit and leaves are rich in vitamins. As it is a tropical plant, it grows best in warm places.
