How to use

Sow seeds directly into prepared soil or start indoors in seed trays and transplant when seedlings have developed true leaves. For direct sowing, create shallow drills or individual holes about 0.5–1 cm deep and cover lightly with soil. Maintain even soil moisture during germination and thin seedlings to the recommended spacing for compact head formation. Fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture and partial to full sun exposure supports optimal growth. Monitor for pests and diseases typical of leafy greens and remove affected leaves or use appropriate cultural controls.

Recommendations

For continuous harvests, practice succession sowing every 2–3 weeks during the recommended sowing window. When growing in containers, use a balanced potting mix and ensure adequate drainage and regular watering to maintain leaf quality.
