When to plant Pak Choi Seeds
Pak choi can be sown from March to August for a continuous supply of fresh leaves. For early crops, start seeds indoors from February. In warmer months, direct sowing outdoors is best. For an autumn or winter harvest, sow in late summer and provide protection from frost.
How to Plant Pak Choi Seeds
Sow seeds thinly, 1 cm deep, in rows spaced 25-30 cm apart. Once seedlings emerge, thin them to 15-30 cm apart, depending on whether you want baby leaves or full-sized plants. Pak choi prefers moist, well-drained soil in a sunny or partially shaded spot. Keep the soil consistently watered to prevent bolting.
How long do Pak Choi Seeds take to grow?
Pak choi seeds germinate in 5-10 days, with baby leaves ready to harvest within 3-4 weeks. Full-sized plants take around 6-8 weeks to mature. Harvest outer leaves regularly to encourage continuous growth.
Why should I plant Pak Choi Seeds?
Pak choi is a versatile and nutritious leafy green, packed with vitamins A, C, and K. It is fast-growing, easy to care for, and can be used in stir-fries, salads, and soups. Growing your own ensures fresh, tender leaves free from pesticides.
Where can I plant Pak Choi Seeds?
