Growing Tips for New Zealand

Pak Choi Joi Choi is a cool-season crop that thrives in autumn, winter, and spring in New Zealand. Sow direct or into trays from February through to October. Sow seeds 5 mm deep, thinning to 25–30 cm apart. Prefers a sunny to partly shaded position in rich, moist, well-drained soil. Water regularly and feed with a nitrogen-rich fertiliser to encourage lush leafy growth. Harvest whole plants when mature, or pick outer leaves as needed for a cut-and-come-again harvest.

💡 Grower's tip: Cover with fine netting to protect from white butterfly and aphids — a must for brassicas in the NZ garden!
