Step 4: Transplant into the Garden
Transplant seedlings once they are sufficiently developed and have several true leaves. Gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions, then plant in fertile soil with adequate spacing for the selected variety.

Step 5: Maintain Growth and Harvest
Water consistently, control weeds, and provide suitable nutrients according to soil and crop needs. Monitor plants for common cabbage pests. Harvest when the heads are firm and have reached the expected size for the variety, before they begin to split.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find useful answers about cabbage head formation, seedling care, and common cabbage growing problems.
Why is my cabbage plant growing leaves but not forming a head?
Cabbage may produce plenty of leaves without forming a firm head when temperatures are unsuitable, plants are overcrowded, sunlight is insufficient, or nutrients and moisture are poorly managed. Some varieties also need more time to mature. Choose a variety suited to your season, provide adequate spacing, maintain even soil moisture, and avoid excessive nitrogen fertilizer.
How can I protect cabbage seedlings from cabbage worms?
Inspect the leaves regularly for caterpillars, eggs, and feeding damage, especially on the undersides. Fine insect-proof netting installed before pests arrive can help prevent adult butterflies from laying eggs. Remove visible caterpillars by hand when practical, and use only locally approved pest-control products according to their label instructions.
When should I harvest cabbage to prevent the heads from splitting?
Harvest cabbage when the head feels firm and has reached the expected size for its variety. Delaying harvest after maturity can increase the risk of splitting, particularly when dry soil is followed by heavy watering or rain. Maintain consistent soil moisture throughout growth and check mature plants regularly so that heads can be harvested at the appropriate time.
