Sometimes cabbage cannot form ovaries. This happens quite often.

Why doesn't cabbage set

The speed of cabbage development directly depends on the moisture and nutritional value of the soil.

With a lack of moisture and useful minerals, plants spend a lot of energy extracting water and nutrients from the deep layers of the soil.

Cabbage also has large leaves and an impressive moisture evaporation surface.

Therefore, for normal survival, the vegetable needs a lot of water and nutrients to form.

What needs to be done to make the cabbage set

In order for the plant to develop normally and form ovaries, it is important to follow the rules for feeding the vegetable.

To do this, feed the cabbage with fertilizers that contain nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus.

Watering can be done once a week. Too frequent watering interferes with the development of the root system and slows down the formation of the head.

Since the roots of this crop are located very close to the soil surface, it is better not to loosen the plant.

If the summer is hot, increase the amount of watering.

It is imperative to follow the dosage, since overfeeding will only cause the tops to grow abundantly.
