Growing Method Step 1: Prepare fertile, loose, well-drained soil rich with organic compost, and remove weeds and soil clods. Step 2: Sow seeds thinly on the soil surface, cover lightly with 0.5cm fine soil, mist water gently. Step 3: Keep soil evenly moist, avoid waterlogging which can trigger seed rot or fungal disease. Step 4: When seedlings develop 3 to 4 true leaves, thin or transplant them, leaving 20cm spacing between each plant. Step 5: Water regularly and apply diluted fertilizer to promote leaf growth during head formation. Step 6: Ensure full sunlight; partial shade in hot weather can prevent bolting and leaf bitterness. Step 7: Harvest when small heads become tight and plump, before the plant bolts and sends up flower stalks.
Suitable Climate Baby Cabbage prefers cool weather, optimal growing temperature between 12℃ and 22℃. High temperatures above 25℃ will cause poor head formation and early bolting. It is mainly sown in late summer and autumn. It tolerates light frost.
Applications Perfect for backyard home gardens and farm field planting. Baby cabbage heads are widely used for hot pot, stir-fry, soup cooking and quick pickling, a popular fresh table vegetable in Asian cuisine.
