How do I grow bok choy in containers

Growing bok choy in containers is a great way to enjoy this nutritious leafy green in a small space. Here are the steps on how to do it:

Choose the right container. Bok choy has a deep root system, so it needs a container that is at least 12 inches deep and 14 inches wide. Make sure the container has drainage holes.
Fill the container with a well-draining potting mix. Bok choy prefers a soil that is loose and fluffy, with a pH of 6.0 to 7.0.
Sow the seeds. Bok choy seeds can be sown directly in the container. Sow the seeds 1/4 inch deep and 2 inches apart.
Water the seeds. Water the seeds well and keep the soil moist until the seeds germinate.
Thin the seedlings. Once the seedlings have emerged, thin them out so that they are 4 to 6 inches apart.
Fertilize the plants. Bok choy is a heavy feeder, so it needs to be fertilized regularly. Fertilize the plants every two weeks with a balanced fertilizer.
Water the plants. Bok choy needs to be watered regularly, but do not overwater. Water the plants deeply and allow the soil to dry out slightly between watering.
Harvest the bok choy. Bok choy is ready to harvest when the leaves are dark green and the heads are firm. To harvest, cut the bok choy at the base of the plant.
