How many days does it take for Chinese cabbage to sprout from seeds?

Chinese cabbage germination time

Generally speaking, Chinese cabbage will sprout 3 to 4 days after sowing, and will grow seedlings within a week at the latest. It takes 3-5 days for it to germinate after sowing. If it is germinated in advance, it will sprout in about 3-4 days.

Chinese cabbage sowing time and method

1. Sowing time: Chinese cabbage is generally planted around July and August every year, which is the end of summer. At this time, the temperature has gradually dropped and will not always maintain a high temperature of around 40 degrees Celsius. If you sow at this time, the seedlings will grow in autumn when the temperature officially starts to drop.

2. Land preparation: Before planting cabbage, the selected land must be prepared first to remove stones, weeds, plant roots, etc., so that the land becomes loose and has a certain basic fertility and drainage capacity.

3. Seed sowing: Choose shiny, round, plump and fresh seeds, so that the germination rate will be higher. Sow the selected seeds evenly on the tilled land, then cover with a thin layer of soil and water until the soil is basically moist.

How to manage Chinese cabbage after it emerges

1. Water the cabbage frequently after it sprouts. The amount of water each time should not be too much, just keep it slightly moist. Cabbage does not require much fertilizer during the seedling period, so no fertilizer is needed at this time to avoid fertilizer damage.

2. After a period of time, the cabbage will sprout, and some seedlings will grow out that do not grow well and grow unevenly. These seedlings need to be pulled out in time, and topdressing should be done in time after the seedlings are established.
