A synopsis about Neem tree:
Neem tree is basically a tropical tree.
It can grow at any high temperature but
the entirely wet provinces are unsuitable
for its growth. Neem tree belongs to a category
called mesophyte means it can exist neither
in a dry environment nor in seasonally wet
areas. Moreover, it cannot tolerate drought
conditions. Neem tree is well known for
its medicinal value, and India is supposed
to be its origin. It is hailed as the best
treatment for skin inflammations, malaria,
ulcers, psoriasis, acne, diabetes, bacterial,
fungal infections and yet also for cancer.
Neem is used as the special constituent
in many personal care products that are
being manufactured. Neem is available in
various forms like Neem
oil, Neem
cake, Neem powder, etc. According to
ayurveda. Neem oil is considered as one
of the best medications for most of the
ailments. Thus it is worth growing this
nature's gift in a garden or at outdoors
not only for shade but also for emergency
treatments. It is simple to grow a neem
tree if the steps are followed accordingly.
- Firstly, take a vessel or jar or a
pot which ever is available, fill it with
the rich quality soil leaving 1 inch from
the top. Note: Neem can be grown in any
type of soil but make sure that soil with
poor draining capacity such as clay is
not mixed as Neem tree roots cannot withstand
water logging.
- Water the soil layer in routine to make
it even more fertile for the plant. Note:
Do not water frequently, which causes
water logging at the bottom and makes
it unsuitable for the plant to grow.
- Then spread the Neem seeds at the top
of the wet soil and cover it with a half
inch of the same soil that is filled below.
Once again, water the pot and keep it
in a place where it is exposed to sunlight
very well. Initially, the sapling requires
warmness to grow out from the seed.
- Necessary plant growth supplements in
the form of fertilizer should be provided
once in a week for better improvement
in its growth. Supply it by mixing few
spoons of NPK rich fertilizer with water
used for fish cleaning and some pinches
of egg shell powder.
- Continue supplying water and supplement
until the plant reaches its height 6 to
9 inches. Later transfer the plant to
the ground by digging to the size of the
jar using a shovel. Remove the plant along
with the soil layer completely and place
it in the pit that has been dug. Remember
the place of transfer is well exposed
to sun rays as well.
