I think it is possible that some people don't like the taste of celery, but the nutritional value of celery is still good. Celery looks like a little umbrella, always protecting our body from some bad factors, which is very helpful.

Celery has a very good effect of cleansing and detoxification, there are many benefits, people can grow celery themselves. Why not grow healthy, green vegetables when you can grow them in just a small space? However, there are some things to keep in mind when growing celery. Celery planting remember these details, so that we grow more delicious vegetables, well, not much to say, follow me to take a look.

A, celery growing environment

Celery is best grown in a cool environment. It can't tolerate high temperatures, the optimal temperature is below 20 degrees, so you'd better choose to plant in the spring or fall. Celery also likes an environment with ventilation all around and relatively high ground, and this environment can make celery grow better. Here is a small reminder that celery should not be exposed to the sun for a long time, and can receive a small amount of light. It is usually best to choose a shady place to plant, which will block a certain amount of sunlight. Because celery in the sun exposure, the flavor will have a great change, will not maintain the original flavor.

Second, soil

Celery is a shallow rooted crop. Therefore, we must choose a soil that retains water and fertilizer, and we can use farmyard manure to improve the land, so that the soil is loose and the degree of fertility will increase. When the land is ploughed, the field beds and ridges needed for celery have to be prepared in advance for later sowing and irrigation. I remind you that it is okay for the soil to be sandy, as long as the land is well ventilated, because celery needs good soil conditions to grow.

Third, sowing

Celery is seldom grown by direct sowing to produce seedlings for transplanting. It depends on whether you want to plant more or less. When planting small quantities, simply soak selected seeds in water. If you want early germination, soak in warm water. Remember to stir while soaking and don't burn the seeds in warm water. Just pay attention to the spacing when planting the seeds. Celery is a dense crop and two seeds should not be too far apart, but the right distance allows for air circulation. After sowing, you can cover it with film and remove the film as it grows. Be reminded that if you want to transplant, you need to choose a good bed and sow it, keeping it moist and the air at a constant temperature. The best time to transplant is when the weather is cooler, which helps to improve the survival rate of celery.

Four, watering

Celery's drought resistance is very weak, you must keep enough water so that the celery's leaves and roots will grow well. Celery needs to be watered four times a week, usually in the morning or evening, so that the celery will have better time to absorb the water. If the weather is hot, you should increase the amount of watering. When watering, you can also take a spray bottle and sprinkle some water on the celery leaves. You can water your celery more as it grows, and the excess water will slip down the well started rows, so don't worry about standing water, especially in dry weather, and don't let the ground dry out or the celery will die in the ground.

Fifth, fertilization and watering

Celery can be fertilized with a mixture of nitrogen, phosphorus and potash fertilizers to get better results. The first fertilization is when the celery seedling grows out, even fertilization; the second fertilization is when the celery is about to be harvested, the amount of fertilizer should not be too much, just to consolidate the nutrients in the field and increase the growth of celery. When celery is fertilized twice, it is best to choose after 5:30 p.m., when the weather is not very hot, the celery can better absorb the nutrients supplied by the fertilizer after the celery is finished.

Sixth, the control of pests and diseases

Celery grows out of seedlings is most likely to occur when the standing wilt disease, that is, the celery stems will slowly wither; there may also be spotted wilt disease, that is, a small black spot on the celery leaves, it will slowly devour the whole celery. Therefore, we need to spray pesticides in advance, once a week for three weeks, and there will be fewer celery pests. When spraying pesticides you need to clean up the weeds and debris around the area, this can be a good prevention of pests, the pests around the area will come over again, we should carry out another major remediation to avoid the spread of the disease in the later stage.

Seven, harvest

After planting celery, let's wait for the harvest. When the celery grows to 80 centimeters high, we can harvest it. When you harvest celery don't break its stalks or you won't be able to eat it the next day. Celery must be harvested as early as possible, never wait, because celery can easily grow too old in the ground when it is harvested and it will not be fresh.

Did you learn how to grow celery above? In fact, we just need to remember: choose the right growing environment, fertile, loose good soil; good quality celery seeds, many times on time watering, two proper fertilization, on time spraying pesticides. After all these matters are done well, your celery want to harvest bad are very difficult!

The above is what we have to pay attention to when planting celery, I just in case you do not fully understand, here to summarize again. We are planting, basically the problem of water and fertilizer are dealt with can be, because planting celery is the most critical place, the use of fertilizer, celery on the demand for fertilizer is very fast, in fact, from the celery growth rate we can know. When organizing the soil in the early stage, it is necessary to start a ridge, just to facilitate the later watering and irrigation can be more convenient. In addition to planting celery, harvesting time is also something we should pay attention to, must be grasped, a little inattention will be past the best time to harvest. Basically remember these, we can easily plant celery.
