Climate: Brassicae plants are cool-season crops and prefer cooler temperatures for optimal growth. They can be grown in a variety of climates, but perform best in regions with cool to moderate temperatures and consistent moisture
Humidity: Brassicae plants prefer moderate to high humidity levels, especially during the early stages of growth. High humidity can help to prevent moisture stress and promote healthy growth
Soil: Brassicae plants prefer well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. The soil should also be loose and friable, allowing for good root development and water penetration. Avoid heavy, compacted soils that can limit root growth and nutrient uptake.
pH: The optimum level is is between 6 and 7
Carbon dioxide in greenhouses: Optimal CO2 levels for Brassicae plants are typically between 800 and 1200 parts per million (ppm).
