The look of noni or mengkudu plant in my house

After unsuccessful attempt in growing the noni plant (mengkudu) from its fruit, I manage to get my hands on 2 unit of steady noni plants. Where they grow in a good place. Which makes the fruit good for my consumption.

The steady planted look of my noni plant.

The look of my noni fruit and its small plant.

Further details on the noni plant:

Morinda citrifolia is a tree in the coffee family, Rubiaceae. Its native range extends through Southeast Asia and Australasia, and the species is now cultivated throughout the tropics and widely naturalized.

Among some 100 names for the fruit across different regions are the more common English names, great morinda, Indian mulberry, noni, beach mulberry, and cheese fruit.

The plant bears flowers and fruits all year round. The fruit is a multiple fruit that has a pungent odour when ripening, and is hence also known as cheese fruit or even vomit fruit. It is oval in shape and reaches 10–18 centimetres (3.9–7.1 in) size. At first green, the fruit turns yellow then almost white as it ripens. It contains many seeds.

Morinda citrifolia is especially attractive to weaver ants, which make nests from the leaves of the tree. These ants protect the plant from some plant-parasitic insects. The smell of the fruit also attracts fruit bats, which aid in dispersing the seeds. A type of fruit fly, Drosophila sechellia, feeds exclusively on these fruits [1].

Hopefully I will manage to drink the noni fruit juice later.

Till then, have fun in planting noni in your house compound.
