Moderate balanced nutrition supports repeated leaf harvests; do not overapply nitrogen.

Practice brassica crop rotation and remove badly spotted leaves; avoid wet, crowded foliage.

6. ✂️ Harvesting & After-care

Pick mature outer leaves regularly while protecting the top growing point for further growth.
