Kai Lan Seedling, 15 pcs

Plant Kai Lan seedlings 20-30cm (8-12 inches) apart from each other. This spacing allows sufficient room for the plants to grow their thick stems and broad leaves while promoting healthy air circulation and sunlight exposure.

Kai Lan seedlings can be harvested in approximately 6 to 8 weeks after planting, depending on the variety and growing conditions. Harvest the tender shoots and leaves when they have reached the desired size, leaving the central portion of the plant to continue growing for subsequent harvests.

Kai Lan seedlings thrive in 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 Kai Lan 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. Kai Lan 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.

Kai Lan 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. Kai Lan 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 Kai Lan, such as aphids, caterpillars, leaf miners and whiteflies. Regularly inspect your Kai Lan seedlings and implement appropriate pest control measures as needed.

Kai Lan prefers cooler temperatures and can be sensitive to extreme heat. Consider using shade cloth or planting them in a location that provides some protection from intense afternoon sun.
