   Step 2: Cut the bok choy right where the stems branch into leaves.

   Or in other words, 2 inches from the bottom up. , If there are yellow leaves in the middle of the bottom this means that your bok choy is ready to grow! , You can be creative with this one.
   
   Add at least 1 inch of water, but you can add a lot of water until the bok choy is floating! , The bok choy can be placed anywhere as long as it gets sunlight.
   
   The bok choy can be a very unique edible plant for decoration or as a house plant. , You can also spray the middle of the bok choy (where the leaves sprout): , Before a bok choy grows roots, it will have white bumps where the roots sprout from.
   
   This is perfectly normal; when you see roots sprouting from the bumps wait 1 day before planting. , Make sure the roots and base are at least 1 inch underground.
   
   Sometimes when the bok choy has roots the will have a dark tint.
   
   This just means that the roots are actively growing. , A regrowing bok choy will commonly have "ripped-looking" leaves.
   
   This is also perfectly normal and as the plant grows the leaves will become more full. , Bok choys need at least 1 inch or water whenever the soil is dry to the touch.
   
   The water can be poured straight down on the bok choy or around the base.
   
   Make sure not to overwater.
   
   As the bok choy grows older you can add more dirt around it or just bury it with top and leaves exposed. , You must kill them immediately.
   
   Aphids will literally drain the life out of bok choys.
   
   Use an insecticidal soap spray to kill them.
   
   They especially like to hide under the leaves.
   
   You can get this spray at a gardening or home store. , Black flying bugs occasionally appear flying or on bok choy.
   
   Wave your hands near them so they fly then squash them.
   
   These bugs can multiply quickly and lay eggs on your plant killing them. ,
