Growing Guide

1. Soil Preparation: Use well-draining, fertile soil rich in compost or well-rotted organic manure. A pH range of 6.0–7.0 works best.
2. Sowing: Start seeds in a nursery tray or small pots at a depth of 1 cm; transplant seedlings to the main bed after 25–30 days when they have 4–5 true leaves.
3. Spacing: Maintain 40–50 cm spacing between transplanted seedlings to give the plant room to develop a full, healthy head.
4. Watering: Water consistently every 2–3 days, keeping soil evenly moist; inconsistent watering can lead to small or discolored curds.
5. Sunlight: Requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily, along with cool temperatures for proper curd formation.
6. Transplant Care: Once transplanted, avoid disturbing roots; ensure seedlings are hardened off gradually before moving outdoors.
7. Fertilizing: Apply organic compost or balanced fertilizer every 2–3 weeks, especially as the plant begins forming its head.
8. Pest Management: Watch for aphids, cabbage worms, and diamondback moths common to this Brassica family crop. Use neem oil spray for safe control.
9. Harvesting: Ready to harvest in 60–75 days from transplanting, once the curd is firm, compact, and creamy white. Cut the head with a portion of stem attached.
10. Growing Tip: For extra-white curds, gently tie the outer leaves over the developing head to shield it from direct sunlight (a technique called blanching).
