Five simple steps to grow bok choy at home

Home gardeners in the house, are you ready?

Bought some bok choy and been wondering if you can grow some too? Here’s a simple five step process to grow bok choy at home this winter.

Requirements:

• Bok choy roots: 2-3 (store bought)
• Water: 1 mug
• Organic fertiliser: 1 tablespoon

Process:

• Take a large pot with soil in it. Prepare the soil by adding enough water for 24 hours before planting the bok choy roots
• Pat the bok choy roots dry using a paper towel
• Make semi deep holes in the soil and place the roots. Cover with soil, leaving the stems facing sunlight and air
• Pour water, sprinkle fertiliser and leave in an area with ample sunlight and air
• Sprinkle water if the soil is moist, and pour water if the soil is dry and wait for leaves to come out from the stems of the plant

Tip:

• Try to chop and plant the very day you have bought the bok choy
