Hi there. Asking a silly question, but I recently bought a few kohlrabi bulbs about 2 inches in diameter, and each has the nub where the main root used to be. They're in the fridge right now, but I'm planning to bring them up to room temperature, take a very thin slice off at the root nub, and stick the bottoms in water while resting on the top of a suitable bottle. I'll change the water daily, but will this method encourage rooting? Would it help to add a little rooting compound powder to the water each time? What kind of soil do I need to grow them once they've rooted? Acidic? Alkaline? Well draining? I'm hopeful for growth, as there are new leaf stalks forming on the top of each bulb.
Sorry, we haven't tried this method, so we don't have an answer for this. Hope it works. About soil, kohlrabi loves loamy and well-drained soil with pH of 6-7.5.
Thank you. Exactly what I needed to see.
Ya I was having a tough day and this totally helped.
This is amazing!!!
Can you also eat the leaves?
Yes, the leaves are edible, especially young ones.
Fun fact: Kohlrabis are actually not root vegetables. Theyre in the same family as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, and Brussels sprouts.
I am going to try that lapseit on smartphone
Kalau bisa pesan bibitnya bisa ga

I thought it was supposed to be a purple veggie 🤔
It looks like fat broccoli
