Cai Xin Seedling, 15 pcs

Plant Cai Xin seedlings 15-20cm (6-8 inches) apart from each other. This spacing provides ample room for the plants to grow robustly while ensuring good air circulation to reduce the risk of diseases.

Cai Xin seedlings can be harvested in approximately 4 to 6 weeks after planting, depending on the variety and growing conditions. Harvest the tender stems and flower buds when they are mature and large enough to use, leaving the plant's central portion to continue growing for subsequent harvests.

Cai Xin seedlings prefer full sunlight but can tolerate partial shade. Provide them with at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. If growing indoors, position them near a bright, indirect light source or provide them with 10-12 hours of light under a growth light.

Choose well-draining soil for your Cai Xin seedlings. The soil should be fertile and rich in organic matter. A pH level between 6.0 and 7.0 is ideal for the best growth and nutrient uptake by the plants.

Keep the soil consistently moist. Cai Xin seedlings prefer regular watering, especially during hot and dry periods. Ensure the soil remains evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water at the base of the plants to avoid wetting the foliage, which can lead to fungal issues.

Cai Xin benefits from a nutrient-rich soil. Before planting, incorporate a balanced fertilizer into the soil following the recommended application rates. As the seedlings grow, you can side-dress them with compost or apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 3-4 weeks to provide ongoing nourishment.

Regularly monitor the Electrical Conductivity (EC) and pH levels of the nutrient solution. Cai Xin seedlings prefer an EC range between 1.6 to 2.2 mS/cm and a pH range of 5.8 to 6.5. Adjust the nutrient solution as needed to maintain these levels throughout the growth cycle.

Keep a close eye on common pests that affect Cai Xin, such as aphids, flea beetles, and caterpillars. Regularly inspect your Cai Xin seedlings and implement appropriate pest control measures as needed.

Cai Xin prefers cooler temperatures and can be susceptible to bolting in hot weather. Consider using shade cloth or planting them in a location that provides some protection from intense afternoon sun.
