Celery is a vegetable we eat often. It gives off a distinctive fragrance, so it rarely suffers from pests and diseases. Friends who like eating celery might as well grow a few pots at home. The lush green is very pleasing to the eye, and when you want to eat it, you just pick the leaves, which is very convenient, and the current temperature is just right for growing celery.. How do you grow potted celery?

If you are only growing a little, you can use the leftover celery root or celery base, plant it directly into a flower pot, and water it thoroughly after planting.

Just put it in a sunny, ventilated spot, and after about ten days or so, new leaves will gradually grow.

Another growing method is sowing seeds. Many gardeners who have grown celery feel that celery, like cilantro, sprouts rather slowly, or that getting seedlings to come up is a bit difficult. Actually, you just need to master a little trick.

First, the temperature must be suitable. Generally, 15 to 20 degrees is the most suitable temperature for celery seeds to germinate. If the temperature is too high, it will affect germination, so the autumn temperature is just right, and it is very suitable for growing celery.

Second, celery seeds have a layer of oil on them, which hinders their germination rate and germination speed. First, pre-sprout them by soaking them in clean water for ten hours, then wrap them in a wet paper towel or wet towel, and rinse them with water once every 24 hours, just to wash off the oil on the surface. Once you see the seeds showing white, you can sow them.

There is another method that is also very simple: first soak them for ten hours, then put them in the refrigerator to chill at about 3 degrees, take them out from time to time to rinse them, and once you see some seeds showing white, sow them into the potting soil. They will sprout in three days. The speed is especially fast.

Because leafy greens like cool temperatures and are relatively cold-tolerant, autumn is exactly the good season for sowing leafy greens.

When the temperature gets lower, we can put a plastic bag over the celery we grow at home, or make a small homemade greenhouse, or cover it with a layer of dry grass or something. When the weather is good, uncover the covering and let it get more sun, so it grows more vigorously. This way it can still grow lush and green in winter. When you want to eat it, just pinch off the leaves and eat them, which is very convenient.
