Moringa is drought-tolerant once established.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature: Thrives in temperatures between 18°C and 35°C but can tolerate slight frosts for short periods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight: Requires full sun for optimal growth and nutrient production.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFertilising: Fertilise with a balanced NPK (10-10-10) every two months during the growing season. Moringa is a light feeder and excessive fertilizer can harm the plant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePruning: Prune regularly to promote bushy growth and prevent the tree from becoming leggy. This also makes harvesting leaves easier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulching: Apply organic mulch to conserve moisture, cool the soil, and provide nutrients as it breaks down.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePest Control: Generally pest-resistant but can occasionally be affected by common pests such as aphids.
