How to raise seedlings of baby napa cabbage, and what planting density is suitable?
AbstractBaby napa cabbage seedlings should be raised in summer or autumn. First dig the ground well. When cultivating, fertile soil should be chosen, preferably sandy soil or clay soil that drains and irrigates easily. Then scatter the seeds on top of the soil, taking care not to scatter them too densely. After scattering, pour on some clear water. After the baby napa cabbage sprouts, scatter some fertilizer to avoid causing malnutrition in the baby napa cabbage.
Baby napa cabbage looks good and tastes good. It is a vegetable we all rather like. The baby napa cabbage bought in supermarkets is all packaged and produced by production bases, and the selling price is not cheap either.

How to raise seedlings of baby napa cabbage
Baby napa cabbage is just small napa cabbage. Its leaves and stalks are relatively tender, and it tastes much better than napa cabbage. Below, the editor roughly categorizes how to raise its seedlings specifically:
1. Baby napa cabbage can be direct-seeded or raised as seedlings. When raising seedlings, the season should be chosen as summer or autumn.
2. First dig the ground well. When cultivating, fertile soil should be chosen, preferably sandy loam to clay loam that drains and irrigates easily.
3. Buy baby napa cabbage seeds directly, then scatter them on top of the soil, taking care not to scatter them too densely.
4. After scattering, pour on some clear water. After the baby napa cabbage sprouts, some fertilizer should be scattered to avoid causing malnutrition in the baby napa cabbage.
What should the planting density of baby napa cabbage be controlled at
1. In spring and autumn, baby napa cabbage is suitable for flat-bed planting, which saves labor and time; the bed form is determined according to local habits. Generally, in the south, 4 to 6 rows make one bed, while in the north, small raised beds are mostly used, with a height of about 20cm and a width of about 100cm. On both sides, sowing furrows are opened at a distance of about 15cm, with a furrow depth of about 8*10cm, then sowing is carried out, after which 2cm of soil is covered.
2. In summer, baby napa cabbage is suitable for ridge planting, which helps drainage. The width of the bed is about 1 m.
3. Baby napa cabbage can also be direct-seeded. In spring and autumn, precision sowing can be used; that is, 1 to 2 seeds are sown per hole in cross sowing. The approximate seed amount per mu is between 100 and 150 grams. After sowing baby napa cabbage, plastic film should be used to cover the ground to prevent damage from high temperatures and heavy rain.
4. If raising seedlings for transplanting, when the seedlings reach 4 leaves, transplant them with the original soil ball; plant 2 rows per ridge and 4 rows per bed, with plant and row spacing of about 20×30 cm; this can ensure complete and uniform seedlings and also increase yield.
Baby napa cabbage is generally bought in supermarkets, but when selecting it, we cannot help feeling alarmed, fearing it contains chemical substances unsuitable for health. Now, through the seedling-raising methods and growing techniques for baby napa cabbage mentioned above, we can grow baby napa cabbage ourselves, so that we can obtain truly original, pollution-free baby napa cabbage that is genuinely good for our health.
