In our daily human diet, vegetables make up the largest proportion, and eating more vegetables has so many benefits! Not only can they supplement the dietary fiber our bodies need, but they can also promote our intestinal peristalsis!

A few days ago, when Huahua was browsing the market, she found that there was not only the thicker celery we often eat at home, but also the thinner mountain celery! So it turns out celery is divided into ordinary celery and mountain celery. That was quite an eye-opener. It seems there really is a lot of information to be gained at the market!

This little celery sparked Huahua's interest. Since celery can be sold outside, it can definitely be grown at home, so Huahua thought everyone would surely want to know how exactly to grow celery at home. Today Huahua will share the method with everyone.

Friends who often read Huahua's articles surely know that generally when we grow vegetables at home, we choose relatively simple methods. Between sowing and cuttings, we usually choose the latter. Why? Because growing vegetables from seed is relatively difficult, and we generally have limited energy when growing at home, so it is better to keep things simple and easy to grow.

We can choose celery sold at the market and keep the root and about five cm of celery above the root for planting. You only need to bury the root into the soil, and then carry out routine care. The daily care of celery is relatively simple. Let Huahua explain slowly~

Although celery is a plant that quite likes light, you still need to be careful not to let our celery get too much sun. Too much sunlight is actually not a good thing; instead, it will cause phenomena such as the celery's leaves becoming wilted and yellow.

Furthermore, celery is relatively intolerant of heat. Too much light will raise the celery's temperature, and this is very unfavorable to the growth of celery.

When planting celery, we also need to pay attention to watering, which is also a relatively important item. Celery is a plant that likes water, but do not water too much either. If you water too much, the celery will develop root rot, which will stop the celery's growth or even cause it to rot.

Friends who plant celery in winter should pay attention: celery is not very cold-tolerant. In winter, it is best to cover the celery with a layer of film as a heat-preservation measure to prevent the low temperature from freezing the celery to death.

Growing celery is actually not that difficult. The main things are the two relatively important parts: watering and sunlight. Wait until the celery gradually grows, and then you can cut and eat it crop after crop. When cutting, also pay attention: you can cut the outer celery first, so that the celery will not suddenly become completely "bald."

Celery harvested and picked while eating like this is very fresh and tender! It is especially suitable for growing on a balcony at home! Everyone should give it a try!
