• Planting Depth: Sow seeds ¼-½ inch deep.
• Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist during germination and early growth.

Care & Maintenance:

• Watering: Cabbages require consistent moisture, particularly during dry spells. Water deeply to ensure strong root development and prevent wilting.
• Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer, with extra nitrogen in the early stages of growth to promote leaf production, but reduce nitrogen as the plant matures to encourage head formation.
• Mulching: Apply mulch to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds around the base of the plants.

Harvesting:

• Harvest Time: 70-85 days after sowing, when the heads are firm, dense, and a vibrant red to purple color.
• Harvesting Method: Cut the heads from the plant with a sharp knife, leaving a small section of the stem attached. If the outer leaves are damaged, they can be removed before storing.

Storage:

• Storage: Store harvested cabbages in a cool, dry place or refrigerate for up to several weeks. Red cabbage can also be preserved by pickling or fermenting.
