As for the soil, the easiest way is to buy a ready-made soil mixture for cabbage.

The seed material should be prepared. All those that were damaged should be removed. It is also advisable to set aside all those seeds that are larger or smaller than the main mass.

If you want to grow seedlings in one container, the seeds should be placed at a distance of 5-10 cm. If picking is carried out in the future, the distance can be reduced to one and a half centimeters.

The rows should be up to 1 cm deep. The soil should be well moistened beforehand. As soon as all the water is absorbed, you can proceed to planting. Then the seeds should be lightly sprinkled with soil, and then moistened again, but with a sprayer.

The container should be covered with film and placed in a warm place where the temperature will not be below 18 or above 20 degrees Celsius.
