Cultivating cauliflower in a small plastic pot: the incredible harvest!
Cabbage is a delicious root vegetable and easy to grow in a small plastic pot. Following a few simple steps, you can enjoy an incredible harvest of this tasty vegetable. Here’s how to grow cauliflower in a small plastic pot:
1. Choose the right pot
Choose a plastic pot of a size of about 20 to 30 centimetres in diameter and depth. Make sure there are drainage holes at the bottom to prevent the roots from rotting.
2. Prepare the soil
Use a mixture of good quality soil and compost to fill the pot. Make sure the soil is well ventilated and draining to promote the root growth of the cabbage.
3. Sow seeds
Sow the cabbage seeds at a depth of about 1 to 2 centimetres in the soil. Space the seeds about 5 to 7 centimetres apart to allow the plants to grow properly.
4. Water regularly
Be sure to keep the soil moist by watering regularly, but avoid leaving it wet. The cauliflower needs constant watering to develop properly.
5. Fertilize the cabbage
Enrich the soil with a balanced fertilizer once the cauliflower plants have reached a height of about 5 centimetres. This will help plants grow healthy and produce fleshy roots.
6. Protecting plants
If you grow cabbage in pots outside, protect the plants from temperature differences and pests by placing them in shelter and using insect nets if necessary.
7. Harvest rave cabbage
In general, cauliflower can be harvested about 8 to 10 weeks after sowing, when bulbs are about the size of a ping-pong ball. To harvest, just pull the bulb gently to remove it from the plant.
- Cabbage can be eaten raw or cooked, and it is delicious added to salads, soups or simply steamed with some butter.
- If you harvest several cabbages, keep them in a cool and dark place to extend their shelf life.
