This is how it can be sown at home or in the field

Sow pak choi

You can sow pak choi as early as the beginning of April. All you need is the seeds, vegetable or potting soil and potting bowls. Alternatively, you can also use egg cartons for cultivation.
Fill the bowls with soil and place the pak choi seeds 5mm to 1cm deep in the soil. Lightly press the substrate and water it so that it is moist but not floating in the water.
Then put your bowls in a warm, bright place. 16 to 18 degrees are ideal for germination.

Pak Choi sprouts

Pak Choi can germinate after just two days. You should be able to see the small seedlings after a week at the latest. During this phase, make sure that the substrate never dries out.

Prick pak choi

Once the plants have reached a height of about five centimeters, you should prick them out. Of course, this is only necessary if you have sown several seeds in a small bowl. So that the plants do not prevent each other from growing, carefully separate the individual plants from each other. To do this, proceed as follows:

• Loosen with an elongated object, e.g. B. Use a blunt knife or a stick to slightly open the soil around the little plants.
• Then carefully pull on the little plants that you want to take out.
• Loosen the soil further with the knife and pull the plants out of the container so that you do not damage the tender roots.
• Then place the plants in a new planter so that they all have enough space to grow.

Plant out the pak choi

After the ice saints, you can plant your pak choi outdoors. If you have a lot of snails in your garden, it makes sense to put snail fences or rings, because snails like pak choi at least as much as you do.
When planting out, keep a planting distance of at least 25cm from one plant to the next.
