It sure didnt take long! I dont think they are more than a few weeks old.... I just put em outside last week because they were getting tall and leggy. They have beefed up quite a bit since then and stopped strecthing so much.

They grow fast and flower pretty fast too. You have pod before you know it.

Right on man I just soaked the seeds for two days,and then I buried them in a pot of moist soil,and forgot about them until today I think it was maybe two weeks ago,or less.

Ferrel sent me 7 seeds,and I started one,it got about a foot tall and then died. I think too much water,or not enough light indoors,was the cause of it's demise They wont be indoors long though this time,and I'll have them in the sun

I think I made a mistake by placing them in the fridge with all my other seeds.
Do you think this will cause problems?
I would like to grow them out of soil like in a plastic bag. I haven't found any full on info on how to do this step by step.
Could I wet down a paper towel and place them in and let them set on top of my fridge where the temp seems to stay at 70 degrees?
Does this sound like a good plan?

What kactus brand said is my preferred method. Soak in water and then place them atop the soil. Man you can't go wrong.
lately I have started using the oil on my face as part of my anti-aging regimen. 3 drops after applying my lotion. So far it seems to be nothing but good results. It's got proteins and vitamns, many of which are in those expensive ass serums they sell at those major department stores. Which I am now convinced is moringa oils and a huge mark up

I'm sorry to say that you most likely killed your seeds by placing them in the fridge. Moringa is a strictly tropical plant,and lives where the temperature never dips below 50 degrees. I've been doing extensive research on them,and one thing I keep seeing is,that you are not to do it,or they will die. I also keep reading that the seeds only remain viable for a very short time,about three months,but ferrel sent mine well over three months ago,and they all still germinated! So you could still give it a go
