HOW TO GROW PURPLE KOHLRABI FROM SEEDS

CARE FOR PURPLE KOHLRABI AFTER GERMINATION

Maintain an even moisture level in the soil to encourage rapid growth. If water is not available, Kohlrabi will become woody. Use aged compost to prepare planting beds—side-dress Kohlrabi with aged compost once a month. A plant starter or balanced organic fertilizer can also feed Kohlrabi once a month. Cultivate carefully to avoid harming the shallow roots. Mulch kohlrabi plants with aged compost when they reach a height of 10-12 cm. Cutworms, cabbage loopers, and imported cabbage worms can attack Kohlrabi. Wrap collars around the seedling stem to protect them from cutworm damage.
