Plant Care:
Brassica oleracea
Edible plant.
Sprouts in: 7 - 14 days
Harvest in: 5 - 6 weeks
Grows best at: 18°C – 24°C
- It may appear to be growing slowly at the beginning, no thinning required. Once it has germinated, growth will soon accelerate.
- Please note that Red Kale is heat sensitive and grows best at 64 to 72 °F (18 to 22°C). If the temperature is higher than 75°F (24°C) then germination is inhibited.
- Red Kale grows best if the lamp has just one arm! If the lamp is set too low it may burn your thriving plants. If the lamp is set too high your plants will grow leggy and produce less yield.
- You may begin harvesting your Red Kale in five to six weeks. Do this by picking off the larger outer leaves - the plant will produce more from its basal growing point. Harvest gradually until the plant is about five to seven weeks old. Alternatively, harvest the whole plant in one go in five weeks.
- If it ages it may loose its nutritional value and signature flavor.
