Frequently Asked Questions
Find helpful answers about growing Kohlrabi, developing its edible stem, and harvesting this cool-season vegetable.
How long does Kohlrabi take to grow from seed?
Kohlrabi seeds commonly germinate in about 5–10 days under suitable conditions. Many varieties are ready to harvest approximately 45–60 days after sowing, although maturity varies by cultivar, weather, and growing conditions. Check the seed packet for the expected days to maturity for your particular variety.
Why is my Kohlrabi growing leaves but no swollen stem?
Kohlrabi develops its characteristic swollen stem as the plant grows. Excessive heat, overcrowding, inconsistent watering, or unsuitable growing conditions may interfere with good stem development. Grow it during cooler weather, provide adequate spacing, and maintain even soil moisture. Also confirm that the plants are a true Kohlrabi variety.
When should Kohlrabi be harvested for the best flavor?
Harvest Kohlrabi when the swollen stems reach the recommended size for the variety and are still firm and tender. Many varieties are harvested when the stems are around 2–3 inches in diameter, though the ideal size varies. Harvesting promptly helps reduce the risk of woody texture and overly strong flavor.
