Choy Sum is a variety of Pak Choi and doesn't much like being transplanted. They make quite big plants - a 1 litre pot is not going to be big enough. If you look at the seed packet it will probably tell you to sow in rows 16 inches apart and thin the plants to 10 inches apart. A standard 1 litre pot measures about 5 inches across. My advice would be to sow a few seeds thinly in a bigger pot, or you could try transplanting some when they have 2 true leaves - try to disturb the roots as little as possible. Any you don't plant out can be eaten in salads as microgreens - I often grow choy sum for exactly this purpose as I don't really have room for it in my garden.
I don't know about the basil in the tray - I grow basil in small pots for the windowsill.A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP. - Leonard Nimoy
