So far I have been terrible at growing from seeds. But well, it's worth a try:
08.02.2025: Seeds ordered on Amazon
09.02.2025: Seeds received. The seller threw in some Moringa Oleifera seeds as a gift.
10.02.2025: The internet gave mixed inputs about stratification. Some posts said soaking in boiling water for a few minutes would do the trick. Some recommended refrigeration for a couple of months. Some others suggested a combination of both.
As there were 24 seeds, I decided to try them out in 3 different batches:
Batch A: Soaked in Boiling water for a few minutes and then in water at room temperature for 24 hours - and then planted
Batch B: Soaked in Boiling water for a few minutes and then in water at room temperature for 24 hours - Then Refrigerated for 60 days with a wet tissue inside a zip lock - and then planted
Batch C: Refrigerated for 60 days with a wet tissue inside a zip lock - Then soaked in boiling water for a few minutes and then in water at room temperature for 24 hours - and then planted
Batch A and B: Seeds washed with hot water, then soaked at room temperature for 24 hours
Batch C: Soaked in a wet tissue inside a Zip lock - ready to be refrigerated. I know the zip lock bag is ridiculously small here
11.02.2025: Batch A planted with 4 Moringa seeds as neighbours
Batch B going to the refrigerator inside a zip lock - this tmie in a normal sized one
Fingers crossed now!
