Planting & Care
Sow Pak Choi White Stem seeds directly in the garden or start them indoors for an earlier start. For direct sowing, plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and 1 inch apart in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart. Thin seedlings to 6-12 inches apart once they have a few true leaves. Pak Choi prefers cool weather and can be planted in early spring or late summer for a fall crop. Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Fertilize lightly with a balanced organic fertilizer if needed. Watch for common pests like aphids and flea beetles, and use row covers if necessary. Harvest when the heads are firm and before they bolt in hot weather. For a continuous supply, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks during the cool season.
