Cultivation: Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Sow seeds in spring after last frost or late summer/early fall in a warm, sunny location. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Pok Choi will bolt if temperature is too cold too hot. Exposure to frost or prolonged temperatures below 50°F F may result in bolting. Mulch fall crop to avoid premature bolting. Optimal growing temperatures are in the 60s°F. Harvest when about 8-10" tall.
