Plant seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep in rows spaced 18-24 inches apart. Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. Amending with compost or well-rotted manure can improve soil fertility. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Regular watering promotes tender, flavorful leaves.

Temperature: Lacinato Kale is cold-tolerant and thrives in temperatures between 45-75°F. A light frost enhances the flavor and sweetness of the leaves. Thinning and Spacing: Thin seedlings to 12-18 inches apart when they are 2-3 inches tall to allow enough space for mature growth.
