Chinese cabbage 'Tropical pride'

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Tropical pride is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors. Ensure your soil is loamy and has a ph of between 6.1 and 7.8 as Chinese cabbage is a weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil loving plant.

Look to ensure a distance 9.75 inches (25.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 15°C / 59°F to ensure good germination.

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

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