Pak Choi — also known as Bok Choy, Chinese Cabbage (loose head type) or पाक चोई / चीनी गोभी — is an exotic leafy vegetable from the Brassicaceae family, native to China. This Brassica rapa subsp. chinensis variety grows 20–30 cm tall with an upright rosette habit and is ready to harvest in 40–55 days. Harvest profile: white stem with dark green leaves; upright rosette with spoon-shaped leaves; 20–25 cm tall. Key highlights: fast-growing F1 hybrid pak choi seeds, ideal for stir-fry greens.

This pack of F1 hybrid seeds delivers 80–90% germination, with seedlings appearing in 4–7 days. Beginner-friendly and low maintenance, Pak Choi grows well on Indian terraces, balconies, raised beds and kitchen gardens. It needs full sun to partial shade, loamy, fertile, well-drained, moisture retentive soil (pH 6.0–7.0) and moderate-high watering. For container growing, use Geo Fabric Circular Grow Bags or HDPE Rectangular Grow Bags — recommended size: 10x10 inch grow bag.

Sow Pak Choi in India during September–November and February–March (Rabi & Zaid season), when temperatures sit around 15–23°C. Plants keep producing for one-time or cut-and-come-again over 2–3 weeks, with an expected yield of 150–300 g per plant. It is perfect for stir-fries, soups, steaming, salads and ramen/noodle dishes. Grow it alongside radish, carrot, onion and spinach, plus flowers such as marigold and nasturtium — nasturtium acts as trap crop for aphids; marigold deters pests. Looking for a similar crop? See our Lettuce Romaine (सलाद पत्ते) Seeds.

Rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, calcium. Exotic vegetables like pak choi are expensive and hard to find fresh in local markets, but they are surprisingly easy to grow at home from seed. Best in cool months across plains; grows year-round in hill regions. Well-suited states include Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim, West Bengal, Karnataka and Maharashtra.

How much sunlight does Pak Choi need?

Pak Choi needs full sun to partial shade for healthy growth and good yields. Shade tolerance is moderate.

Can Pak Choi be grown in a grow bag on a terrace?

Yes — 10x10 inch grow bag. Container friendly: yes. Use a well-draining potting mix enriched with compost.

What does Pak Choi taste like?

Pak Choi has a mild, slightly sweet and subtle mustard note taste with crisp white stalk, tender green leaf texture. It is ideal for stir-fries, soups, steaming, salads and ramen/noodle dishes.

What soil pH does Pak Choi prefer?

What are good companion plants for Pak Choi?

Good companions are Radish, Carrot, Onion and Spinach, and flowers such as Marigold and Nasturtium. Nasturtium acts as trap crop for aphids; marigold deters pests.

Can I save seeds from my Pak Choi plants?

Pak Choi is an F1 hybrid, so seeds saved from its fruit will not grow true to type. Buy fresh F1 seeds each season for consistent results.

Should I sow Pak Choi seeds directly or transplant seedlings?

Recommended method: Direct Sow or Transplant. Start seeds in a nursery tray and transplant at 3–4 weeks old seedlings (if transplanted).

Why are my Pak Choi seeds not germinating?

The most common causes are sowing outside September–November and February–March, soil that is too cold or dry, and sowing too deep. Sow 0.5–1 cm deep; keep moist; fast germinating - thin seedlings early to avoid crowding.

Why are my Pak Choi seedlings tall and leggy?

Leggy seedlings are stretching for light. Move trays to full sun to partial shade as soon as seedlings emerge and avoid overcrowding.

How do I control pests on Pak Choi?

Pak Choi can be affected by aphids, flea beetles, cabbage worms, bolting in heat. Inspect leaves regularly, especially the undersides, remove affected parts and apply a neem-based spray in the early morning or evening.

Why are my Pak Choi leaves turning yellow?

Yellow leaves usually point to overwatering, poor drainage or a nutrient shortage. Keep soil evenly moist but never waterlogged, and feed with compost or organic fertiliser every few weeks.

Can Pak Choi grow in partial shade?

Pak Choi performs best in full sun to partial shade. With shade tolerance rated moderate, plants in shade grow slower and yield less.

How often should I water Pak Choi?

Water requirement is moderate-high, consistent. Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry — usually every 1–2 days in summer and less often in cool or cloudy weather.

Can Pak Choi tolerate Indian summer heat?

Heat tolerance is low-moderate. In very hot months, give afternoon shade, mulch the soil and water early in the morning to reduce stress.

What diseases affect Pak Choi and how can I prevent them?

Disease resistance is low-moderate; clubroot possible in poorly drained soil. Space plants for good airflow, water at the base instead of over the leaves, and remove infected leaves promptly.

Why is my Pak Choi flowering too early?

Early flowering (bolting) is triggered by heat, long days and water stress. Sow only in the September–November and February–March window, keep soil evenly moist and harvest promptly once pak choi reaches usable size.
