2. Watering: Water consistently to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during the head development phase.
3. Fertilization: Apply organic fertilizers or compost to provide essential nutrients throughout the growing season and support optimal growth.
4. Thinning: Thin seedlings to allow sufficient space for plants to grow to full size. This also helps with air circulation and disease prevention.
