When and how to plant Chinese cabbage

Cabbage planting time

Chinese cabbage is suitable for planting between March and November. Chinese cabbage has strong adaptability and can be planted as long as the temperature is not too low. However, it is recommended to sow it in the spring because the temperature environment in spring is more suitable, which is more conducive to the rooting and germination of Chinese cabbage.

How to plant Chinese cabbage

1. Seed selection

Choose seeds of suitable varieties according to the actual growing area. The seeds should be shiny, plump and free of disease. Such seeds have a particularly high germination rate.

2. Soil selection

Before planting Chinese cabbage, you should choose neutral soil with high nutrients and good drainage. Crush large pieces of soil in advance and add appropriate amount of farmyard manure. This can improve the growth quality and nutritional content of the cabbage.

3. Sowing method

Sow the prepared seeds evenly on the soil and control the density. After sowing, cover them with a thin layer of soil. You can also sprinkle a layer of chopped leaves or chopped straw on the soil to keep it warm.

Things to note when planting Chinese cabbage

Seedlings will grow about 3 days after planting the Chinese cabbage. During this period, the soil must be kept moist and placed in a well-ventilated and bright place with scattered light to ensure that the Chinese cabbage has sufficient light. Water it once in the morning and evening and keep the temperature between 18℃-20℃.
