7 Easy Steps To Grow Drumstick Plant At Home

• Pick a sunny location with well-draining soil. Drumstick plants love warmth and full sunlight, at least 6–8 hours daily.
• Soak seeds overnight before planting and use a 1-2 feet long branch from a healthy drumstick tree.
• Use loose or loamy soil enriched with compost or organic matter. Avoid heavy clay soils that hold water.
• Sow them one inch deep and cover with soil. Plant one-third of the cutting in the soil, and water lightly after planting.
• Water regularly, but do not overwater. Drumstick plants are drought-tolerant once established. Let the soil dry slightly between watering.
• Prune the top branches regularly to encourage bushier growth and more branches, which leads to more pods.
• Pods are usually ready to harvest 6–8 months after planting. Pick them when they’re young and tender for the best taste.
