Planting & Growth Tips:
Growing White Stemmed Bok Choy is easy and rewarding, especially in cooler climates. Follow these tips for successful cultivation:

• Planting: Sow seeds directly into the garden 1/4 inch deep, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in rows spaced 30 inches apart to allow ample room for growth.
• Soil: Use fertile, well-draining soil enriched with compost or organic matter. Maintain a pH between 6.0-7.5 for optimal growth.
• Sunlight: Provide full sun exposure for vigorous growth, but this plant also tolerates partial shade.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during dry periods. Mulching helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
• Care: Bok Choy thrives in cooler weather and is best planted in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest. Protect plants from pests like flea beetles and aphids using organic methods.
• Harvesting: Harvest when stems are thick and leaves are bright green, typically at 12-18 inches in height. Cut the entire plant at the base or remove outer leaves as needed for continued growth.
