Tips Celery

Soil preparation

  • Celery prefers a cool, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. It requires loose soil to allow its roots to develop fully.
  • The soil pH for celery should be slightly acidic, ideally between 6.0 and 6.8, to promote the absorption of essential nutrients.
  • Before planting, mix compost or well-decomposed manure into the soil to improve its structure and promote optimal rooting.
  • Avoid heavy or clay soils that may retain too much moisture, which can harm celery's roots.
  • Celery enjoys moist, cool soil. Ensure the soil retains good moisture without becoming waterlogged.

Planting

  • Plant celery seedlings after the last frost in spring. Space plants about 30 cm apart to allow them to develop properly.
  • Celery prefers sunny spots but can tolerate a bit of afternoon shade, especially during the hottest summer periods.
  • For better growth, stake celery plants to prevent them from toppling under the weight of their stems.
  • When planting, dig a small hole for each plant, ensuring that the base of the plant is level with the soil.

Watering

  • Celery needs regular watering. Water deeply and frequently to keep the soil moist but not soggy.
  • During dry periods, increase watering frequency to prevent the stems from becoming tough.
  • Using mulch around the plants can help retain moisture and reduce the frequency of watering.
  • Ensure celery receives consistent moisture throughout its growth to guarantee tender, crunchy stems.

Fertilizer

  • Apply a nitrogen-rich fertilizer in spring to encourage the growth of celery leaves and stems.
  • If the soil is nutrient-poor, apply organic fertilizer or compost every 4 to 6 weeks during the growing season.
  • Avoid applying too much potassium-rich fertilizer, as it can stunt celery stem growth.

Harvesting

  • Celery is ready to harvest when the stems are firm, thick, and have reached the desired size, usually about 3 to 4 months after planting.
  • To harvest celery, cut the stems near the base. You can also harvest stems as they grow, leaving younger ones to continue growing.
  • If harvesting the entire plant at once, leave about 5 cm of the base of the stems to encourage new growth the following spring.
