A fellow Brassicaceae — similar growing habits to Pak Choi
Start Pak Choi indoors about 4 weeks before your last frost, keeping seeds in cooler soil (around 10–18 °C). Seeds usually come up in around 7 days. Move seedlings out once the danger of frost has passed, in partial sun, spaced about 25 cm apart. Expect to harvest in roughly 45 days.
Pak Choi seed rarely stays viable beyond 3 years — track what's still worth sowing.
Water: Medium · Height: 35 cm · Soil: Moist, fertile, well-draining
Coccinellidae
The one predator here where the adults hunt as hard as the larvae do.
Aleyrodidae
A puff of white when you brush the leaf, and stickiness underneath.
These three thrive alongside Pak Choi — and alongside each other.
