Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Granaat Chinese cabbage is a cool-weather vegetable that grows best in fertile, well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. It requires even moisture, so regular watering and mulching to retain it are essential. Full sun to partial shade is recommended, especially in warmer climates to prevent bolting​.
When to Grow
Granaat Chinese cabbage should be grown in the cooler parts of the year. For a spring harvest, sow seeds 4-6 weeks before the last frost date. For a fall harvest, plant in late summer to early autumn, aiming to avoid high temperatures which can cause bolting. In mild climates, planting can continue through the fall for a winter harvest.
How to Sow and Plant
Direct sow Granaat Chinese cabbage seeds about 1/4 inch deep, spacing them about 3 inches apart. Once seedlings are established, thin them to about 18-20 inches apart. This spacing allows for adequate air circulation and the growth of large heads. If starting indoors, use peat pots and transplant carefully to avoid root disturbance once plants are 4 weeks old.
How to Grow
Maintain consistently moist soil by watering regularly, but ensure the soil is not waterlogged. A drip irrigation system is a good choice. Mulch around the plants to help conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer, especially in the early growth stages, but reduce feeding as the heads begin to form​.
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 Granaat 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 partial shade during the hottest part of the day.
What are common pests for Granaat Chinese cabbage and how can they be managed? Common pests include aphids, cabbage worms, and flea beetles. Using row covers, introducing beneficial insects like ladybugs, and applying organic insecticides can help manage these pests​.
Why is my Granaat Chinese cabbage bolting?
Bolting occurs due to stress from high temperatures or inconsistent watering. Planting at the right time of year and keeping the soil evenly moist can help prevent this issue​.
