How to propagate kale and how to plant it in pots

1. How to propagate kale

1. Seed propagation: Kale can be propagated by sowing, which is its most commonly used propagation method. From mid-July to late August, prepare some healthy kale seeds and soak them in water for about 8 hours to germinate. Then prepare some loose and fertile soil, gently sow the seeds on the soil surface, and cover them with a thin layer of soil. After that, water them thoroughly, keep them warm, and they will sprout after 5-7 days.

2. Propagation by cuttings: Kale can also be propagated by cuttings. If you water and fertilize it appropriately when it blooms in March and April to provide it with water and nutrients, it will produce a large number of tillers after the flowers fade. After it grows suckers, cut them from the mother plant and plant them separately in soft and breathable new soil to slowly nurture them, and they can also grow into new plants.

2. How to plant kale

It’s easy to plant kale in pots. First prepare a flower pot with good air permeability, spread a layer of gravel on the bottom as a drainage layer, and then spread a layer of loose and breathable culture soil. Then remove the kale from the original potting soil and plant it in the new pot with the roots facing down. Afterwards, fill the pot with the remaining culture soil so that the roots of the plant are all below the soil surface. Then gently compact the soil surface, water it thoroughly, and place it in a warm place to slowly cure it.
