- Watering requirements: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the plants regularly, especially during dry periods, to ensure they receive about 1 inch of water per week.

- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest Chinese kale is in the early morning when the leaves are crisp and full of moisture.
- Harvesting tips: Use a sharp knife or scissors to cut the leaves and stems. Harvest the outer leaves first, allowing the inner leaves to continue growing. Store the harvested kale in a cool, moist place, such as a refrigerator, to maintain freshness.
