Supplied as a set of six plug plants, ready to grow on and plant out, once all risk of frost has passed.

Top Tips
Pak Choi can bolt (go to seed) in warm, dry conditions. To prevent this provide partial shade in hot weather and water consistently to avoid stress.
Care Information
  • Pak Choi grows best in full sun but tolerates partial shade, particularly in warmer months to prevent bolting.
  • Choose a spot with moist, well-draining soil enriched with compost or well-rotted manure.
  • Work the soil to a fine texture, removing weeds and debris.
  • Add organic matter to improve fertility and water retention, as Pak Choi prefers nutrient-rich soil.
  • Plant plugs 15 - 20cm apart in rows spaced 30cm apart. This allows enough room for their leafy heads to develop.
  • Plant each plug so the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Firm the soil gently around the plug and water thoroughly after planting.
  • For container-growing, use pots at least 25 - 30cm deep with good drainage, spacing a similar distance to if you were planting in the ground.

Caring:

  • Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, as Pak Choi can wilt quickly in dry conditions.
  • Avoid watering the leaves to reduce the risk of fungal diseases.
  • Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2 - 3 weeks to encourage leafy growth. For autumn crops, use a nitrogen-rich feed to maintain healthy leaves.
  • Remove weeds regularly to minimise competition for nutrients and water. Be careful not to disturb the shallow roots.
  • Apply a layer of mulch around the plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and keep the soil temperature stable.
  • Watch for slugs, snails, and flea beetles, which are common pests for Pak Choi. Use organic slug pellets, copper tape, or netting for protection.
  • Cover plants with fine mesh or fleece to deter cabbage white butterflies and other pests.

Harvesting:

  • Pak Choi is ready to harvest about 4–6 weeks after planting, depending on growing conditions.
  • For baby leaves, cut the outer leaves as needed, leaving the inner growth intact to allow continued production.
  • For a full head, cut the entire plant at the base just above the soil line.
