Tips on Plant Care

Weekly Plant Health Checks

Inspect for Pests and Diseases:

Look for signs of pests like aphids or flea beetles and diseases such as mildew. Check leaves for holes, discoloration, or spots.

Remove Damaged Leaves:

Prune yellow, wilted, or damaged leaves to maintain plant health and encourage fresh growth.

Growth and Harvesting

Baby Greens:

Harvest as baby greens when the leaves are 3-4 inches long, typically 20-25 days after planting.

Cut-and-Come-Again Method:

Harvest outer leaves while leaving the inner rosette intact for continuous growth.

Regular Harvesting:

Frequent harvesting prevents the plant from bolting and ensures tender, flavorful leaves.

Flavor and Texture

Harvest Early for Mild Flavor:

Younger leaves are milder and more tender, perfect for salads or garnishes.

Cool Growing Conditions for Best Quality:

Cooler temperatures enhance Tatsoi’s sweet, nutty flavor and maintain its crisp texture.
