Cabbage seed planting

1. After selecting the right variety of cabbage seeds, start germinating them and then you can plant them. After sowing, they will germinate after a period of time.

2. Cabbage has strong adaptability and is both heat-resistant and cold-resistant, so it can be planted in the open field in spring, summer and autumn across the country. However, its germination rate is higher if it is sown in spring.

3. Before sowing, cabbage seeds need to be dried first, then soaked, and placed in a constant temperature of 25°C. After three days, they will germinate and can be planted.
