1. Seed selection

When growing baby napa cabbage on a balcony, seed selection is also a very important issue. You can choose seeds from farmers' markets, or you can choose imported seeds, because imported seeds tend to have better uniformity.

2. Sowing

Baby napa cabbage is relatively well suited to sowing in late November. When planting baby napa cabbage, put two seeds in each hole, with a spacing of about 5 cm, then cover with a thin layer of soil after sowing, and water thoroughly.

3. Daily management

After planting, baby napa cabbage generally sprouts in 4-5 days. Water twice a day, in the morning and evening, and it is best to water between 8 and 10 in the morning each day, keeping the soil moist. One week after planting, you can apply some decomposed organic fertilizer to the baby napa cabbage, so that it can absorb enough nutrients.

After planting baby napa cabbage, pay attention to attacks by pests and diseases. Although baby napa cabbage has relatively few pests and diseases, prevention and control still need attention. If disease occurs, you can refer to the pest and disease control methods for ordinary napa cabbage.

4. Harvesting

When the whole plant is 30-35 cm tall and the heart leaves have filled out to form a firm head, it can be harvested. When harvesting, pull up the whole plant, remove the excess outer leaves, and trim the base flat.
