Greetings!
Last friday was a very sunny day. The day before mother nature poured a heavy rain in the the afternoon which made the soil ideal for planting the next day. So, I decided to again try my luck in propagating Moringa. I first planted my Moringa cuttings about more than a year ago, two of them survive and the other two died because of the soil where I planted them is always saturated with water for more a month from a nearby rice farm.
Now, the place where I am going to plant the Moringa will be very favorable and is not always saturated with water ranging more than a month. The place is just few steps away from out new bamboo house and is also near a rice farm but the soil is a little bit elevated as compared to location of the two Moringa that I planted more than a year ago.
August 18, 2023 - Propagating Moringa
When I am planting Moringa cuttings I want the Moringa that I am going to plant to be mature. But that is not the case for me now. I can only get near mature Moringa cuttings from the Moringa tree of my elder sister (which is actually located at her house where we lived for more than two years before to we moved to our new bamboo house.
My first step in propagating the Moringa is of course cutting the Moringa (see gif below).
Step 1 - Getting moringa bark
After cutting the Moringa barkI have to remove all the smaller bark just like what I did from the first time that I propagated Moringa (see gif image below).
Step 2 - Removing smaller barks
After removing the smaller barks I cut the bark into smaller section with size between 20 inches to 30 inches. In that size I was able to get tree section of the bark that I cut.
Step 3 - Cutting the bark into smaller sections
Next is I trimmed the bottom of the Moringa cuttings into conical shape using a bolo (which is also what I did from the first time that I propagated Moringa).
Step 4 - Making a conical tip on the bark
Below is a close up the conical shape that I made at the bottom of the Moringa cutting.
Conical tip of the bark
After making the conical tip of the bark I look for the ideal location where the soil is higher than the soil of the nearby rice farm then I dug seven inches deep home into the soil.
Step 5 - Digging the hole for planting the bark
Then I put the Moringa cutting into the hole, covered it with some soil, watered it, and it is done.
Step 6 - Planting the bark
That is all for now guys, catch you up with the next one. Wishing you all safety, good health, and abundance.
