Heat tolerant variety suitable for lowland planting. Heads are compact, uniform, and crack resistant.
Preparation
Cabbage is a cool-season crop that prefers firm soil that retains moisture. Add compost, but tread on the soil to firm it down before planting, as loose soil produces loose heads.
How to Grow Cabbage
- Materials: Nitrogen fertilizer, mulch.
- Method: Start in a nursery and transplant when seedlings have 4-5 true leaves. Plant 1cm deep spacing 40-50cm apart.The key to crisp cabbage is consistent growth. Never let the soil dry out completely. Mulch heavily to keep roots cool and moist. Apply a nitrogen-rich fertilizer 3 weeks after transplanting.
How to Harvest
- Ready in 70-75 days.
- Harvest when the heads feel solid and firm when squeezed.
- Cut at the base with a sharp knife.
- Don't wait too long, or the heads may split.
Common Problems
- Diamondback Moth larvae (caterpillars) chew holes in leaves. Use biological sprays like Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt).
- Clubroot causes swollen, distorted roots; avoid planting in acidic soil (add lime if needed).
