Propagation Methods

Cultivation Methods
- Watering: You must water consistently to keep the soil from drying out; however, if drainage is poor, the roots may rot due to overwatering.

Garden Uses

Important Pests and Control Methods
- Powdery Mildew: Powdery mildew may occur. To prevent this, ensure good ventilation, and control can be achieved by spraying a baking soda solution in the early stages. - Cabbage White Butterfly Larvae: Since larvae can gnaw on the leaves, you can physically remove them immediately upon discovery or use organic insecticides.
- Aphids: If discovered early, control them by washing with soapy water or using eco-friendly insecticides.
