Ideal Soil: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Ensure a neutral or slightly alkaline pH. Exposure: Requires full sun for optimal growth, but can tolerate partial shade in regions with particularly hot summers. Sowing: Distribute the seeds to a depth of about 0.5 cm, maintaining a distance of 25-30 cm between plants and between rows to allow for adequate development. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid waterlogging. Water regularly, especially during hot, dry periods, preferably early in the morning or evening. Care: Thin out the seedlings when they reach 5-10 cm in height, leaving the strongest ones. Monitor regularly for slug and aphid attacks. Harvesting: The leaves can be harvested as they grow (clipping) or the whole head when it is well developed, usually 60-80 days after sowing.
