Cabbage grows best when daytime temperatures are under 80°F. High fertility, improper water conditions, and heat can cause loose, puffy heads. Spring planting should occur as soon as the soil can be worked, 3 to 5 weeks before the last frost, and fall planting should be done around June or July. Plants can grow 6 to 12" tall.
Requires fertile soil. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant.
Maintain consistent moisture to prevent heads from cracking. Water only the sides of the plant, avoiding wetting any part of it.
Use RootBlast, Vegetable Alive, and Slow Release Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle-Gro twice a month.
Cut heads with a sharp knife at ground level.
Type: Physiological Disorder
Black Speck, also known as Pepper Spot, is a physiological disorder that affects cabbage, especially Chinese Napa Cabbage in the United States and Europe. The disease affects the outer leaves of the cabbage, but often can seen deep in the center of the head. Individual brown and black spots develops on the wrapper leaves, and then spread to the inner leaves. Dark lesions spots appear on the cabbage ribs. It appears as if black pepper was sprinkled on the midrib section of the leaves, hence the name "pepper spot". The cause is unknown, but high rates of fertilizers and fluctuations of temperatures have been reported to increase the susceptibility. Symptoms occur in the fields during growth and during cold storage. The best option is to use disease resistant varieties.
