Kohlrabi pikieren for more space to grow
The kohlrabi seeds have risen well and are close together. Before the small kohlrabi plants dispute the place in the bed and hinder their growth, they must be piqued. Large, strong plants move to a new place, weaker plants are sorted out.
Why pique?
Kohlrabi is thinly sown in rows in the garden bed or in seed boxes for the windowsill. If all the seeds go up, it gets crowded in the bed or in the jar. The plants hinder each other in their growth and must therefore be isolated.
The right time
Cotyledons + 2: according to this rule you should pimp your young Kohlrabi lances. About a week after germination, two leaves have formed except the small cotyledons. Then it's time to piki.
That's how it works
Where to go with the young plants
Pikierte plants are used again in a new place. In the garden bed, you should keep a distance of at least 15 cm. Kohlrabi plants, which you prefer on the windowsill, you now individually in prepared, small pots or yogurt cups. Here they can continue to grow in nutrient-rich substrate until they get their place in the field.
Usually more kohlrabi plants will develop than you need. Then you sort out the weaker and the strong plants are preserved.
Tips & Tricks
