Any one in UK growing Moringa

I have seeds but so far not germinating, I don't have a heated propagator just trying to germinate them inside on sunny ahem windowsill.

I want to grow in a pot so I can harvest all year inside through the winter and outside during warmer weather (ever hopeful).

Grateful for any tips if anyone has one growing already.

Many thanks

 

Moringa Oleifera, if I remember right, plant full of virtues. I think I read some info about it in the past, I ll try and find something out.
there is a picture here:

Thanks Java&Me, I know quite a lot about the plant but not about how to get success from seed germination in the UK without a propagator, starting plants off inside maybe. It could be my first lot of seeds were dead ones, I shall try again with another lot, but I thought it would be good to hear from someone that has had success in the UK.

Love all the plants on the miraflores-pictures, thanks for sharing those

 

here are some info:

-seeds germinate easily, to 98% after 15 days and the plant that reproduces well from cuttings, can be in any soil, even if it grows more quickly with rich soils and limestone
2 - the plant can bloom and bear fruit already after 11 months from sowing
3 - comes from Africa and then in the winter, therefore it should stay indoors or in a greenhouse
4 - the plant is hardy and is succulent, if the stem dies from the cold etc. the roots will stay intact and the plant will grow without problem. It will succumb to fire.
5 - has many uses, culinary, therapeutic, medicines etc.
However, the leaves are a little spicy and flowers can be eaten in salads, the plant is an excellent subject for the production of honey and its by green pods when they are mature and wood can be eaten as beans, broad beans as seeds if boiled and you can get an excellent oil from it.
6 - excellent plant to fight hunger in the world is called the miracle tree and is unique, there is no plant with similar characteristics
7 - can stay in the jar and a vase with a diameter of one cm winds can quickly reach a large size. (from:compagniadelgiardinaggio.it)

glad that you like the pictures! It does sound like it needs to be kept indoors. Good luck with it.
