In hot areas such as the Jordan Valley, planting is usually later than in the highlands. Do not use a single date for all of Jordan.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSow in a seedling tray:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fill the cells with clean, well-drained seedling medium. Place a seed in each cell, cover lightly to a depth of 0.5–1 cm, and moisten gently. Keep the medium moist without waterlogging. Germination may take about 5–20 days, depending on temperature and seed conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare for the seedlings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provide strong light and good ventilation, and water when the medium's surface begins to dry. Transplant when the seedling is strong and has 4–6 true leaves, often after about 4–6 weeks. Gradually acclimatise seedlings to outdoor conditions before moving them, and avoid leaving them too long in cramped cells.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMove to the final growing position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prepare well-drained soil with mature compost. Leave 45–60 cm between seedlings and about 60–75 cm between rows, and water immediately after transplanting. In a container or bed, allow enough space for a plant instead of crowding seedlings together.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaintain steady growth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Check soil moisture and water deeply as needed, especially after transplanting and while heads form. Provide balanced feeding according to soil fertility, with a suitable additional feed during leafy growth when needed. Drought, intense heat or interrupted seedling growth may produce small or loose heads.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProtect the head and harvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e If a white variety's head starts to appear and the leaves do not cover it naturally, gently gather the outer leaves over it to keep it white. Cut the head with a clean knife when firm, before the curds separate or the flowers open. Harvest timing varies with variety and weather.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTips from Hedera's Agricultural Engineer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCheck leaf undersides regularly to spot aphids and caterpillars early, and use suitable insect netting when needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAvoid planting cauliflower in the same place immediately after cabbage, broccoli or another brassica crop, to help reduce pest and disease build-up.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIf soil is calcareous or highly alkaline, test it before adding micronutrients.
