Chinese cabbage 'Orient Express'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Orient Express is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Orient Express needs a loamy soil with a ph of 6.1 to 7.8 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 9.75 inches (25.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.39 inches (1.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 18°C / 64°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Orient Express about 14 days before your last frost date.

Orient Express is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
