- Soil requirements: Root celery, also known as celeriac, prefers rich, well-drained soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. The soil should be fertile and high in organic matter to support healthy root development.
- Sunlight needs: Root celery requires full sun to partial shade. It thrives best in areas that receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Watering requirements: Consistent moisture is crucial for root celery. Water the plants regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulching can help retain soil moisture and reduce the frequency of watering.
- Planting season: The best time to plant root celery seeds is in early spring, after the last frost date. In warmer climates, it can also be planted in late summer for a fall harvest.
- Depth and spacing: Sow the seeds at a depth of 1/8 inch (3 mm) and space them about 6 inches (15 cm) apart. Thin the seedlings to 12 inches (30 cm) apart once they are established to allow enough space for root development.
- Germination time: Root celery seeds typically germinate within 14 to 21 days under optimal conditions. Maintain a soil temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) for best results.
- Maturity time: Root celery takes approximately 90 to 120 days to reach maturity from the time of planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest root celery is in the fall, before the first hard frost. Harvesting in the early morning or late afternoon can help preserve the freshness of the roots.
- Harvesting tips: Use a garden fork or spade to carefully lift the roots from the soil. Avoid damaging the roots during harvest. After harvesting, trim off the foliage and store the roots in a cool, dark place. Root celery can be stored in a refrigerator or root cellar for several months.
