Beschreibung

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.

Anbautipps

Pak Choi is particularly suitable for medium-heavy and nutrient-rich soils in areas protected from the wind. 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 types of cabbage, it is a heavy eater. Pak choi has a very short development period of only 8-10 weeks. It can be pre-grown under glass in spring and planted out in the open from April. If the spring is too warm, it tends to sprout. It is safer to grow it in midsummer (sowing in July). Pak choi is also suitable for growing in a pot. Its bed should be hoed regularly and good watering is important for it. On dry days, it is advisable to sprinkle it with water or otherwise ensure a high level of humidity.
