Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply and regularly, especially during dry spells.
Care Tips:
- Watering: Ensure consistent moisture by watering regularly, especially in dry periods. Mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
- Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, organic fertilizer or compost tea every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth.
- Pest and Disease Management: Monitor for common pests such as cabbage worms, aphids, and slugs. Use organic pest control methods, such as neem oil or insecticidal soap, and practice crop rotation to reduce disease risk.
- Weeding: Keep the area around the plants free of weeds to reduce competition for nutrients and water.
