How to Germinate Pak Choi

How to Germinate Pak Choi (Brassica rapa subsp. chinensis)

  • Sow Pak Choi seeds directly outdoors in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest.
  • If starting indoors, plant seeds 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost date.
  • Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in well-draining soil, spacing them 6-8 inches apart in rows that are 12-18 inches apart.
  • Maintain a soil temperature of 50-75°F (10-24°C) for optimal germination, which typically takes 5-10 days.
  • Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period, but avoid waterlogging to prevent seed rot.
  • Once seedlings have 2-3 sets of true leaves, thin them to the appropriate spacing to encourage healthy growth.

Additional Tips

  • Pak Choi thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially in hotter climates.
  • Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, promoting tender, crisp leaves. Avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot.
  • Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
  • Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer or compost every 3-4 weeks to support healthy, rapid growth.
  • Harvest Pak Choi when the heads are full and tender. Cut the plant at the base, allowing for possible regrowth.
