Care & Harvest

💡Temperature: Tatsoi prefers cooler temperatures (60-70F), and if placed in higher temperatures, it will turn bitter, bolt, and flower early.

✂️ Pruning: Check the roots monthly and trim any that are brown or extending past the yPod.

🥬 Harvest: Tatsoi can be harvested as early as three weeks from planting for baby greens, or wait for mature leaves. The outer leaves can be harvested by cutting at least one inch above the base of the rosette to let the small inner leaves grow. Alternately, the whole plant can be harvested.
