Brassica oleracea var. capitata

What is the plant

Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) is a cool-weather vegetable. The OS Cross cabbage is a sweet-flavored variety that can grow quite large, with some heads weighing up to 50 pounds.

Cabbage (comprising several cultivars of Brassica oleracea) is a leafy green, red (purple), or white (pale green) biennial plant grown as an annual vegetable crop for its dense-leaved heads. It is descended from the wild cabbage (B. oleracea var. oleracea), and belongs to the "cole crops" or brassicas, meaning it is closely related to broccoli and cauliflower; Brussels sprouts; and Savoy cabbage. Cabbage weights generally range from 500 to 1,000 grams (1 to 2 lb). As of 2012, the heaviest cabbage was 62.71 kilograms (138.25 lb). Cabbage was most likely domesticated somewhere in Europe before 1000 BC.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
When watering cabbage plants, keep the water pressure low to avoid eroding away the soil around the plants. it's a good idea to focus your efforts at the base of the plants. watering the tops of the plants can encourage pests and diseases. it's also a good idea to water in the early morning hours.
Pruning
Dead or dying sections of the plant can encourage pest infestation or disease. Removing these not only makes your houseplant look better, but reduces the risk of further problems down the line.
Fertilizer
Use slow-release fertilizer for container plants. Avoid using too much fertilizer.

Soil
Prefer fertile soil, preferably loose and loamy with adequate drainage.
Temperature
Plant cabbages in mid-February, or once the soil is at least 45°F for a summer harvest. For a winter harvest, plant them in mid-October.
