200+ Seeds Pak Choi Green Stem Chinese Cabbage Bok choy vegetable Pak Choi is a member of the cabbage family. It is also known as bok choy, horse’s ear, Chinese celery cabbage and white mustard cabbage. The texture of both leaves and stalks is crisp, and the flavour is somewhere between mild cabbage and spinach. If very young it can be eaten raw in salads, but is best when briefly cooked. Sow and Plant In areas with cooler summers, bok choy can be sown almost all year round, except for the coldest mid winter months.Grow well in 5-32 degrees C or 41-90 degrees F. In areas with hot summers, avoid sowing in the hot mid summer months. Surround stem with a 10 cm mat with a slit cut into it for the stem to prevent cabbage root fly from destroying the roots. Use fine mesh or fleece over the summer to prevent butterflies laying eggs on the underside of leaves - caterpillars can destroy these plants. Keep soil moist in dry weather.
