Are your kohlrabi bulbs staying tiny instead of forming those nice, plump bulbs? Don’t worry! In this video, we’ll go over the common reasons why your kohlrabi might not be thriving and how to fix it.
✅ Planting Too Close Together – Kohlrabi needs space to grow! If plants are overcrowded, they compete for nutrients, leading to stunted bulbs. Keep at least 6-8 inches apart for proper growth.
✅ Too Much Nitrogen – While nitrogen promotes leafy growth, too much can cause huge leaves but tiny bulbs. Use a balanced fertilizer or one lower in nitrogen and higher in phosphorus & potassium.
✅ Inconsistent Watering – Irregular watering can stress the plant, leading to small bulbs. Keep soil moist but not soggy, especially during dry spells.
✅ Wrong Growing Season – Kohlrabi prefers cool weather. Plant in early spring or fall for the best results. Heat stress can prevent bulb formation!
✅ Harvest Timing – Don’t wait too long! Kohlrabi is best harvested when 2-3 inches in diameter—waiting too long can make it tough and woody.
