This head should be kept at a temperature of +1 ... + 2 degrees Celsius.
The head is to be planted at the end of April. Three weeks before planting out of the heads, you need to cut out the stumps, but so that the upper kidney is preserved. If, during the cutting, you find that the middle has begun to deteriorate a little - head out immediately.
