Do you continue to take care of your cabbage incorrectly and you think you are doing everything right, but then you are surprised by the lack of harvest?

It is natural that the heads of cabbage in your beds are loose, cracked and have not grown.

There is a problem and it lies in the failure to properly water the cabbage.

Mistakes start from the moment of planting seedlings in the ground. At this stage, the soil moisture should be good. It is in well-moistened soil that seedlings should be planted.

How to water cabbage

The first time the cabbage is watered is after two days, adding one and a half to two liters of water under each bush, plus loosening is necessary to ensure good air exchange.

The second watering with settled water is carried out after 5-7 days, and in the future you can adhere to this schedule.

After planting the seedlings, one plant needs approximately 5 liters of water, once every 5-7 days.

When a head of water has formed, you can carry up to 5-7 liters per plant at a time and water it once every 3-5 days.

When the head has formed and reached normal size, the frequency of watering is reduced to once every 10 days, with watering up to 7-10 liters per plant.

Stop watering the cabbage if the temperature drops to 10 degrees Celsius.
