Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Golden Beauty Chinese cabbage is a cool-season crop that grows best in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. It is important to maintain consistent soil moisture. The plant prefers full sun in cooler climates but can benefit from partial shade in warmer areas to prevent bolting.
When to Grow
Golden Beauty should be planted in cool spring or fall conditions. For a spring harvest, sow seeds 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost. For a fall harvest, plant in late summer. This cabbage variety typically takes about 55 days to mature, depending on the growing conditions. It grows best in temperatures ranging from 60 F to 80 F.
How to Sow and Plant
Sow seeds directly in the garden about 1/4 inch deep and space them 4-6 inches apart. Once seedlings have grown 4-5 inches tall, thin them to 12-15 inches apart to give each plant enough space to develop. If starting seeds indoors, use biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance when transplanting​. Carefully transplant when the seedlings are 4 weeks old.
How to Grow
Water the cabbage regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. A balanced fertilizer can be applied when planting and then every 3-4 weeks during the growing season. Pests such as aphids, cabbage worms, and slugs may affect the plants, so it's important to monitor them regularly and take control measures as needed. Using row covers can protect young plants from pests and unexpected temperature drops.
How to Save
- Select your best plants to keep for seed and leave them to flower and go to seed.
- Leave plants in the ground over winter, with heavy mulch and a row cover in harsh winter areas.
- In the second season, the plant will send up flower stalks from the head, and as they mature they will become seed pods.
- Once the seed stalks/pods are brown and dry, cut the seed stalks off, and break open the seed pods with your hands or a rolling pin over a container such as a bowl or plate, and separate and extract the seeds.
FAQ
Can Golden Beauty Chinese cabbage be grown in containers?
Yes, it can be grown in containers that are at least 8 inches deep. Ensure the container has good drainage and place it in a location that gets full sun or partial shade, depending on the climate​.
How do I prevent Golden Beauty Chinese cabbage from bolting?
Bolting occurs when the plant is exposed to stress, such as high temperatures or inconsistent watering. To prevent bolting, keep the soil consistently moist and provide shade during hot weather. Planting in cooler seasons can also help reduce the risk of bolting.
How should I harvest Golden Beauty Chinese cabbage?
Harvest the cabbage when the heads are firm and well-formed. Use a sharp knife to cut the head at the base, leaving some outer leaves to protect it during storage. For a continuous harvest, you can also harvest individual leaves as needed​.
