It is important to keep the soil moist but not soggy.
We should be careful not to excessively irrigate our crops because plants cannot tolerate waterlogged soil. Cabbage needs regular, consistent irrigation to develop properly, form firm heads and produce high-quality leaves.
Cabbages need full sun – at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight per day.
Water wisely: It's best to water in the morning and at the base of the plant (soil level) keeping the foliage dry. Plants should be watered when the top 2 inches of the soil becomes dry to the touch.
