  • It's easy to grow cabbages, from a store bought cabbage. All you need is a head of cabbage, a sharp knife, a small bowl or container, and some water. Let me show you how i do it, and see what they look like while growing.

    Great Video! I will definitely do it. I just counted over 160 tomatoes growing in a spare bedroom under cheap LED lights along with my arugula, kale, green onions and rosemary! Done it for years in the winter. They will need to make room for cabbage now! PS: I always plant green onions inside as soon as I buy them from the store and then cut off the top when I need some, and they will keep growing. I use the adjustable steel wire shelving. One shelf on the bottom for the potted plants and a top shelf to hang lights and support the vines.

      I heard that you can dip the base (the part that will grow the roots) in honey, wrap a paper towel around it then emerse it in water. I haven't tried that yet because I'm currently using some rooting powder I bought at Home Depot which works really well.

    What a great idea and tip for more cabbage. Thank you so much! I think I will try this your way. But also I think once the leaves begin to grow and you can see each little cabbage. I'll cut them apart as long as they each get a piece of root. And try growing them separately. Liked and subbed!!!

    Hey you rock! Thank you! I'm here because a cabbage I am growing already, my first time growing them, has multiple babies growing. It already has the root system so I will harvest the big cabbage head and leave the little ones to grow and see how it works that way. I suppose I will cut those back and eat them till I have just one monster remaining.

    Have you ever cut the stem up to make individual plants? Seems like it would work as long as each section had some roots. I’m thinking each head would then have enough room to develop into larger heads.

    All mine are sprouting well just 1 week later.
    Question: has anyone divided the ends into separate individual cabbages before planting? I'm thinking of the similar idea that one does with potato starts. This would be more organized and evenly spaced out in the garden rows.

    Hi. I just came across your video and I'm so excited. I started a cabbage but I have the whole core. I see three little sprouts of cabbages at the top but no roots yet. I've trimmed off the yucky stuff. When should I plant or how do I encourage the roots to form. I change the water everyday and it's in a clear plastic cup(recycling). I live in Hawaii and the mornings are in the 40's. Any suggestions?? Thank you. Nee subscriber. I'm currently trying carrots, onions, garlic, Roma and cherry tomatoes, avocado, green and pink lady apples, oranges and hot peppers and celery. I failed at bok choy but will try again.
