Keep soil consistently moist during germination.\u003cbr\u003eGrowing: Requires cool temperatures and regular watering to form a firm head. Provide adequate spacing (15-18 inches) between plants for proper development.\u003cbr\u003eHarvesting: Harvest the central head once florets are tight and deep green, typically 60-80 days after sowing — before florets begin to loosen or yellow. After the main head is cut, smaller side shoots often develop and can be harvested over the following weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrecautions While Growing Broccoli\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSow within the cool season window, as warm temperatures prevent proper head formation\u003cbr\u003eMaintain consistent watering, as irregular moisture affects head quality\u003cbr\u003eWatch for cabbage worms and aphids; use organic pest control methods where needed\u003cbr\u003eHarvest promptly once florets are tight, as overripe heads loosen and flower (bolt)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther Names\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBotanical Name: \u003cem\u003eBrassica oleracea var. italica\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCommon Name: Broccoli\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vanashree Organics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53240008147104,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/2234\/5376\/files\/Broccoli.png?v=1785682704","url":"https:\/\/www.vanashreeorganics.com\/products\/broccoli-seeds-for-home-growing","provider":"Vanashree Organics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
