How to Germinate Cauliflower Snowball

How to Germinate Cauliflower Snowball (Brassica oleracea Snowball)

  • Sow Cauliflower Snowball seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date.
  • Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting trays filled with a well-draining potting mix.
  • Keep the soil temperature between 65-75°F (18-24°C) for optimal germination, which usually takes 7-14 days.
  • Provide ample light using grow lights or a sunny windowsill to encourage strong seedling growth.
  • Once seedlings have developed 2-3 sets of true leaves, transplant them outdoors, spacing them 18-24 inches apart.
  • Harden off seedlings for a week before transplanting to help them adjust to outdoor conditions.

Additional Tips

  • Cauliflower Snowball prefers full sun and fertile, well-draining soil enriched with compost or organic matter.
  • Water consistently to keep the soil moist, as cauliflower requires steady moisture to form tight heads.
  • Apply mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture, regulate temperature, and suppress weeds.
  • Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer every 3-4 weeks to support healthy growth.
  • Harvest when heads are firm and reach 6-8 inches in diameter, cutting them off the plant with a sharp knife.
