Do you want to grow bok choy seeds in Wyoming, but don’t know when to start them?
Starting bok choy seeds is not as easy as it seems.
Here’s why:
- Bok Choy Seeds must be consistenly watered, receive at least 8 hours of sunlight a day, & be kept at room temperature of at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
So if you don’t consistently water them they won’t germinate. If they aren’t in a room that is at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit they won’t sprout. And if it receives 8 hours of sunlight the plant itself won’t grow.
- Because Wyoming’s growing season is not long enough, bok choy seeds cannot be sowed outside and should only be started indoors.
Because of this, I’m going to teach you the ideal time to start bok choy seeds indoors in Wyoming:

When to Start Bok Choy Seeds Indoors
Depending on the type of bok choy, it takes roughly 40-60 days (6 to 8 weeks) to grow bok choy from seed indoors before you can transplant them into your garden.
The approximate date of when you should start your bok choy seeds indoors can be found by:
- Finding the last average frost date HERE
- And then subtract 60 days from it
You can also find the average last frost date for most major cities in the below chart that I have created:
To help ensure the greatest success of your bok choy seeds germinating you should:
- Use a heat mat to ensure the gardening pot remains at 70 degrees Fahrenheit
- Use a grow light to control how much light your bok choy seeds receive
- Water your seeds with a spray bottle to ensure your seeds are not overwatered
It should also be noted that you will not want to introduce your bok choy plants into your garden until 2 weeks after your last frost or else your plant will potentially die or not bear vegetables.
