I am trying to grow a Moringa Oleifera and it is not fairing well. Wondering if anyone has grown this plant and has any tips to share.

Hey Eric...By chance do you know what cold hardiness zone you are in? Moringas do best in zones 9 through 10. Also, they can easily be overwatered. They prefer dry, sandy, well-drained soils. Chances are you may be overwatering your Moringa. If you are questioning whether or not to water, I would suggest you let the soil dry out a bit further. In fact you can let your Moringa dry out enough that you let the tree let you know when it's time to water by when its leaves start to wilt slightly. That would be my best guess of what is going wrong right now: overwatering. Let me know if you don't think that is the case and we'll try to get down to the bottom of this. Cheers...Dr. Robby
