- Soil requirements: Celery prefers rich, well-drained soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. The soil should be high in organic matter and retain moisture well.
- Sunlight needs: Celery requires full sun, which means it needs at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Watering requirements: Celery needs consistent moisture to thrive. Water the plants regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulching can help retain soil moisture.
- Planting season: The best time to plant celery seeds is in early spring, after the last frost, or in late summer for a fall crop.
- Depth and spacing: Plant celery seeds about 1/8 inch deep and space them 1 inch apart. Once seedlings are established, thin them to 6-8 inches apart.
- Germination time: Celery seeds typically take 14-21 days to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist and warm to encourage germination.
- Maturity time: Celery plants usually take about 85-120 days to reach maturity, depending on the variety and growing conditions.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest celery is in the early morning when the plants are crisp and full of moisture.
- Harvesting tips: Use a sharp knife or garden shears to cut the stalks at the base. Store harvested celery in the refrigerator, wrapped in a damp cloth or plastic bag to maintain freshness. For the best flavor, harvest celery when the stalks are about 8-10 inches tall.
