2. Watering: Cabbages need consistent moisture for optimal head development. Water deeply and regularly, especially during dry spells, but avoid waterlogging.
3. Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer to encourage strong growth. Consider using compost to provide nutrients throughout the growing season.
