Pak choi is a close relative of Chinese cabbage. It forms loose heads (leaf rosette) with light leaf veins. Its fleshy leaves are a rich darker green, similar to those of chard.
Origin:
China
Pak Choi is particularly suitable for medium-heavy and nutrient-rich soils in wind-protected areas. It particularly likes evenly high humidity. Its heat requirement is not particularly high. It can be grown in partial shade as well as in the sun. Like all cabbages, it is a heavy grower. Pak choi has a very short development period of only 8-10 weeks. It can be grown under glass in spring and planted out in the open from April. If the spring becomes too warm, it tends to shoot. On the safer side, you can grow it in midsummer (sowing in July). Pak choi is also good for growing in a pot. You should hoe its bed regularly, good watering is important for it. On dry days it is advisable to sprinkle it with water or otherwise provide high humidity.
