Azadirachta indica
[A]

' Neem Tree '

[ Meliaceae ]
[ India ]
Le Neem ou Nim (Azadirachta indica) est un arbre originaire de l'Inde, qui est vert pendant toute l'année et dispose de multiples propriétés. Il a en outre la capacité de s'adapter à des conditions défavorables comme les hautes températures et les sols stériles, non fertiles ou acides. En Inde, le Neem est un arbre sacré, avec des milliers d'utilisations depuis des temps très éloignés. La première référence qu'on a sur le Neem en tant qu'ultilisation médicinale date d'il y a approximativement 4500 ans. Le Neem a été un thème principal de la culture Harappa, une des plus grandes civilisations du Vieux Monde.

1178 Germination Seeds are very easy to germinate. Seeds need up to 1 month to germinate. Minimum 24°C. Maximum 30°C.
the seeds have to be fresh. Dont bother if they are not. Any good soil compost - I use one with perlite in it for added aeration.

I left the seedlings until they were 5 to 8cm's high then transfered them into 6/7cm pots using the same soil as for the seeds. They are placed on capillary water mata. I water only from the bottom. They are put into a shaded greenhouse.
