Why Cabbage Leaves Change Color: It's Not Always a Disease
A change in the color of cabbage leaves may indicate malnutrition.
According to the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , the situation can be corrected by adding fertilizers.
If you notice that your cabbage leaves have acquired a yellowish tint, the reason may be a lack of potassium in the soil substrate.
To feed the cabbage, you will need to water it with 10 g of potassium chloride diluted in a 10-liter bucket of water.
And magnesium deficiency is indicated by an unusual shade of leaves with a marble effect. Then the veins become lighter, and holes can be found on the fork.
To correct the situation, watering with 35 g of magnesium sulfate added to a bucket of warm water will help.
Discoloration between the veins of a cabbage leaf is a sign of manganese deficiency in the soil.
Experienced gardeners in such a situation treat the beds with potassium permanganate - 3 g of the preparation per bucket of water is enough. Make sure that the crystals dissolve and the solution turns light pink.
The best time for watering is in the evening. A small amount of liquid can be sprinkled on the forks.
