Chinese cabbage 'Tsai hsin'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Tsai hsin is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.1 and 7.8 as Tsai hsin likes to be in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Sow 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 9.75 inches (25.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 18°C / 64°F to ensure good germination.

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

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Tsai hsin is a tender plant.
