Their post states to cut off the bottom of the stalk, and set it in a dish of warm water for a few days. It will start sprouting, then plant it. According to their post, you can cut & replant the bottom of the stalk repeatedly!
We recently made some Asian slaw (using Alton Brown's recipe). I had my husband save the end of the Napa cabbage. I placed it in a dish of water on the counter. In a couple days, you could see some roots forming, and about a week later there were little leaves growing!
Week 1
Week 2
We haven't planted the cabbage yet, but plan on putting it in a pot soon. Since the weather isn't quite warm enough yet, I don't want to put it in the ground & kill it. In the meantime, I keep changing out the water & it seems to be doing fine. Next, we are trying out this method with green cabbage. This is certainly a fun way of making the most out of our food.
