Product description
Pechay, also known as bok choy or Chinese cabbage, is a popular leafy green vegetable widely used in Asian cuisine, particularly in the Philippines, and is a good source of vitamins and minerals.
To plant pechay seeds, sow 2-3 seeds per hole in a seed tray or directly in a well-drained seedbed, cover lightly with soil, and water gently. Transplant seedlings after 2-3 weeks, spacing plants 10 cm apart, and rows 20 cm apart.
Here's a more detailed guide:
1. Prepare the Seedbed or Seed Tray:
Seedbed: Sterilize the seedbed and ensure it's well-drained.
Seed Tray: Fill the holes with sterilized potting medium and slightly compact it.
Direct Sowing: Sow 2-3 seeds per hole in the seedbed or seed tray.
Cover Lightly: Cover the seeds with a thin layer of potting mix or compost.
3. Germination and Seedling Care:
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged.
Sunlight: Ensure the seedlings get adequate sunlight.
Transplanting: Transplant seedlings 2-3 weeks after sowing, when they have 2-3 sets of leaves.
4. Planting in Final Location:
Spacing: Plant seedlings at a distance of 10 cm between plants and 20 cm between rows.
Soil: Use well-draining soil and amend it with compost or other organic matter.
Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods, as pechay is drought-sensitive.
Fertilizing: Apply organic fertilizer like compost, manure, or vermicast 1 week after transplanting.
Timing: Harvest pechay 3-4 weeks after transplanting, when the leaves are tender and ready.
Method: Cut the pechay at the base of the plant.
