Plant Care & Growing Tips

To ensure a successful harvest from your Chinese Big Stem Gai Lan seeds, proper care and attention are essential. Gai Lan prefers well-draining, fertile soil rich in organic matter. A pH level between 6.0 and 7.0 is ideal. Before planting, amend your soil with compost or well-rotted manure to provide necessary nutrients. For optimal growth, sow your organic Gai Lan seeds directly into the garden after the last frost, or start them indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting. Plant seeds about 1/2 inch deep and 1 inch apart, thinning to 6-12 inches apart once seedlings are established. Adequate spacing allows for better air circulation and plant development.

Gai Lan thrives in locations that receive at least 6 hours of full sunlight per day, though it can tolerate partial shade, especially in warmer climates where afternoon sun can be intense. Consistent watering is crucial, particularly during dry spells, to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Aim for about 1 inch of water per week, either from rainfall or irrigation. Fertilize every 3-4 weeks with a balanced organic fertilizer to support vigorous growth. Watch out for common pests like aphids and cabbage worms; organic pest control methods such as neem oil or insecticidal soap can be effective. Harvesting can begin when plants are 8-12 inches tall, typically 45-60 days after planting. You can either cut the entire plant at the base or harvest outer leaves and stems to encourage continuous production of your Big Sum Kailaan seeds.
