Water regularly, especially during dry periods, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering in cooler months.

Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. Aim for deep watering to encourage strong root development.

Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any yellowing, damaged, or dead leaves promptly. Harvesting outer leaves regularly also acts as a form of pruning and stimulates further production.

Minimal pruning is generally required for healthy plants.

Propagate Abyssinian Kale primarily through seeds. Sow seeds directly into the garden bed or start them indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Seeds germinate readily in warm soil.

Transplant seedlings carefully when they have a few true leaves, spacing them appropriately.

Repotting is typically only necessary for container-grown plants that have become root-bound. This is usually done in spring before the active growing season begins.

Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has adequate drainage holes.
