What you must do before planting cabbage seeds: advice from wise gardeners
If you are determined to harvest such a white cabbage crop that your neighbors will gasp with envy, you should follow certain rules when planting seeds.
Before starting planting, disinfect the seeds in a weak solution of potassium permanganate, warm them in hot water at a temperature of 45-50 degrees.
You should add aloe juice or honey to the water – you don’t need much, one spoon is enough.
These components are natural growth stimulants. After such treatment, the seed material should be dried.
The seeds should be planted in a container filled with soil to a depth of 0.7 cm, in rows at a distance of 3-4 cm.
To create greenhouse conditions for the seedlings, the box should be covered with cling film and try to maintain a temperature of 18-20 degrees Celsius.
With this approach, the first sprouts appear in 4-5 days - now the container with seedlings should be taken to the brightest place, getting rid of the film.
Since seedlings require 14-16 hours of daylight, additional lighting should be used in the evenings.
