How to Grow Red Choi Cabbage

Prepare fertile, well-draining soil. Sow seeds in the spring after the last frost to early summer or late summer/early fall. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Optimum growing temperatures are in the 60s°F. Exposure to frost or prolonged temperatures below 50°F may result in bolting. Mulch fall crops to avoid premature bolting. The low growing temperatures 50-60°F should be adequate to develop the natural purple anthocyanin pigment after the seeds have germinated.

Harvesting Pak Choi

This pak choi is fully harvestable at 20-30 days for baby leaf and 40-45 days for full maturity. Harvest when about 8-10” tall. It is ideal to harvest pak choi in the mornings before the heat of the sun removes moisture from the leaves. Cut the short root stem below the base and lift away the head of the cabbage.

Pak Choi can also be harvested to cut-and-come-again by cutting only the outer leaves 2" from the base. New leaves will grow, and you can continue harvesting 1/3 of the cabbage at a time

Culinary Tips

Use in stir-fries and salads or even braise. To prepare, rinse well and separate the stems before tearing leaf greens from ribs. For stir fry, cut into 1/2" slices and saute with oil, vegetables, and/or the meat of your choice.
