Product Details
Believed to be of very ancient origin, the spoon-shaped, dark green, evenly spaced leaves make tatsoi a plant worthy to be grown for its decorative value alone! More nutritious (high calcium and vitamin content) and more flavorful (slightly mustard-like) than traditional bok choy; many consider it a superior flavor, and it is prized for its smooth texture. Very cold tolerant; withstands temperatures down to 15°F. Tatsoi can be harvested even when there is snow on the ground!

- daf ꨄ︎Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 starsMay 12, 2026Easy to Grow & Tasty! (Hydroponics)
ꨄ︎ 100% germination rate. I used the paper towel method, followed by transplanting a few days later.
ꨄ︎ Easy to grow hydroponically. I keep EC at 1.5-2.5 mS/cm and pH at 5.5-6.5.
ꨄ︎ Do not grow two in a 5.5-inch self-watering pot as I did! One completely took over, dwarfing the other. Follow the recommended spacing guideline at 6 inches.
ꨄ︎ Heavy drinkers during the mature and cut-and-come-again phase (day 40 or so). I top off 12 oz of water twice a week.
ꨄ︎ Tastes great. I use Masterblend (4-18-38) because it's what I have on hand, and it tastes fine despite the higher phosphorus and potassium levels in the nutrient solution.
