Purple cabbage moss planting time

Purple cabbage moss is generally planted between July and September, preferably around August. The earlier the sowing time, the more difficult it is to raise seedlings and the lower the survival rate. Even if it survives, the yield is not high and the taste is relatively bitter. However, delaying the sowing date will shorten the harvest time, reduce the number of harvests, and affect the overall yield.

Methods and key points of planting purple cabbage moss

1. Seedling management

When planting purple cabbage moss, keep the soil moist. If the seedlings encounter hot and dry weather after emergence, water them once at night. At the same time, you should pay attention to pest control. Early-maturing varieties can emerge in about 20 days, mid-maturing varieties in 25 days, and late-maturing varieties in about 1 month.

2. Planting

When planting purple cabbage moss, the land must be prepared in advance. Generally, the soil needs to be plowed twice and sufficient fertilizer applied. Water thoroughly the day before and transplant a piece of soil to prevent root damage. After planting, each seedling needs to be watered once. After all the seedlings are planted, water the entire land again, watering a small amount evenly without overwatering.

Precautions for planting purple cabbage moss

Keep the soil moist during the growth and development period of purple cabbage moss. If there is a drought, water it in time. Depending on the situation, it may be necessary to fertilize about 4-5 times. In addition, attention should be paid to the prevention and control of diseases, including downy mildew, soft rot, viral diseases, black spot, clubroot, etc.
