Can I grow cabbage on the balcony at home?
Cabbage can be grown on the balcony at home. Chinese cabbage has the advantages of short growth cycle and not easy to grow insects, so it is a suitable choice for growing vegetables on the balcony.
Second, the planting method of balcony cabbage
There are usually two kinds of cabbage, one is Chinese cabbage, the other is Chinese cabbage. First of all, we should prepare a suitable soil, the soil should have good looseness and permeability, this kind of soil can be selected in the field, and then combined with a certain amount of fertilizer. After preparing the soil, we choose a shallow flowerpot or foam box and load the soil into it.
1. Trench
First of all, pour enough water to flatten the surface of the soil layer, open a small trench with a depth of about 1.5cm and a wide 1~1.5cm, and the distance between the trenches is about 15cm.
2. Sow seeds
2-3 seeds were placed every 3~4cm.
3. Cultivate the soil
The seeds of Chinese cabbage are small and the top soil is weak, so it is necessary to cover the soil thinly and loosely to ensure sufficient light and moisture before germination.
Chinese cabbage seeds generally break the soil and germinate in about 6 days, and when the young leaves are pulled into a cruciform shape, they can be divided into seedlings and seedlings.
4. Intermediate seedlings
Pull out the relatively weak seedlings by the roots and keep the distance between 10 cm and 15 cm. You can also choose the seedlings grown collectively in large containers and transplant them into flowerpots individually.
Warm reminder: the eliminated seedlings can make soup or mix vegetables, sweet and tender.
5. Watering
In order to prevent seedling toppling, appropriate amount of soil is cultivated at the root after watering.
It should be noted that cabbage seedlings should be watered once a day to make the soil fully moist.
6. Fertilization
After the seedlings have grown for half a month, you can start applying fertilizer for the first time.
The fertilizer particles containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are sprinkled in the soil and fully mixed.
7. Cultivate the soil
Properly cultivate soil to the roots of vegetable seedlings so that fertilizer can be fully absorbed.
It is suggested that Chinese cabbage at seedling stage is prone to lodging, which may be caused by lack of light, so it is necessary to give sufficient sunbathing to cabbage seedlings; in addition, Chinese cabbage leaves at seedling stage are easy to attract insects and can be covered with anti-insect net or gauze.
8. Harvest and divide seedlings
Cabbage can be harvested when it reaches 15~20cm, when it is the most fresh and tender.
Tip: if you want cabbage to continue to grow, it is best to plant each cabbage in a flowerpot separately.
9. Cultivate the soil
Properly cultivate soil to the roots of vegetable seedlings so that fertilizer can be fully absorbed.
Tip: what about raw cabbage bugs?
Anyone who grows vegetables on the balcony knows that cabbage is prone to worms. But when we grow vegetables in the balcony pot, what we eat is green and environmentally friendly-- it is not easy to spray insecticides, so what should we do?
Provide two ways for everyone to share their worries and solve their difficulties:
Method 1: you can plant some strong-flavored vegetables, such as celery and chrysanthemum, in the pot of growing pakchoi. These leafy vegetables can play a role in deworming.
