Seedlings : Chinese Mustard Growing Kit – Includes Seeding Tray

Chinese mustard grows best in full sun or partial shade, with at least 4 hours of direct sunlight or 6 hours of indirect sunlight. 

Chinese mustard prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0 to 7.5. You can add aged compost to the planting bed before planting. 

Chinese mustard needs consistent moisture, especially during dry periods.Overwatering and underwatering can both cause yellow leaves. 

You can feed Chinese mustard with a fertilizer high in nitrogen. 

Sow seeds individually in a seedling tray, and transplant seedlings into pots or the ground when they have 4 or more leaves. Space plants 10–20 cm apart. 

Harvest Chinese mustard when the leaves are young and tender, usually around a month after sowing. You can pick individual leaves or cut the entire plant. 

Common pests include flea beetles, cabbage worms, and aphids. You can prevent infestations with a floating row cover while the plants are young. Chinese mustard is fairly resistant to diseases, but you can rotate crop locations and alternate with non-Brassica crops to avoid soil-borne pathogens.
