Now that your containers are ready, it’s time to plant your broccoli seeds or seedlings.

Seed Starting

If you choose to start from seeds, begin by sowing them in seed trays or small pots filled with seed-starting mix. Keep the soil consistently moist until the seedlings emerge.

Transplanting Seedlings

Once your seedlings have grown to about 6 inches tall, they are ready to be transplanted into your containers. Gently remove the seedlings from their pots and plant them in the prepared soil, ensuring that the crown of the plant is level with the soil surface.

Caring for Your Broccoli Plants

To help your broccoli plants thrive, follow these care tips:

Sunlight and Location

Broccoli thrives in full sunlight, so choose a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. If you’re growing broccoli indoors, place your containers near a sunny window or use grow lights.
