What are the planting methods of potted celery?

Celery, there are three kinds of celery, parsley, celery, celery aroma is strong, often eat celery, especially eat celery leaves, is very beneficial to the prevention of hypertension, arteriosclerosis, and has adjuvant treatment. So, what are the planting methods of potted celery?

First, planting time

Planting celery in summer is usually raised in mid-June, transplanted in late July, and harvested in late September.

Second, container selection

In the balcony, rooftop, living room or courtyard to grow celery, the optional cultivation containers are flowerpots, wooden pots, professional cultivation boxes, styrofoam boxes, etc., with a ploughing depth of 15-20 cm.

3. Planting methods

1. Accelerating budding

The celery seed is small and the seed coat is thick. before sowing, the celery seed must be soaked to accelerate germination in order to shorten the germination period and improve the germination rate.

The method of soaking seeds to promote germination has been introduced to you before.

Soak the seeds in warm water of 50 ℃, drop the water temperature to room temperature, and soak continuously for 12-24 hours; remove the empty seeds from the surface, remove the seeds, gently rub the seeds, do not worry about the seed coat falling. After that, you can sow the seeds directly.

2. Sowing seeds

Fill the soil in the vegetable basin, gently compaction, pour through the water; smooth the surface, sow; cover a layer of about 1 cm of soil, even if it is finished. Of course, don't forget that celery is a fertilizer-loving vegetable. Be sure to mix organic fertilizer in the soil as base fertilizer.

3. Emergence of seedlings

Celery seedling emergence is more difficult, especially remind everyone, using this simple seed soaking germination method, still need 25-30 days to complete this process, the cycle is much longer than rape, Chinese cabbage and other leafy vegetables. Everyone must wait patiently.

4. Seedling stage management

The work at the seedling stage is not tedious, generally speaking, it is the following:

Appropriate watering, the right amount here, means less watering, just keep the soil a little moist, don't be waterlogged, don't be too diligent.

The right amount of topdressing, the right amount here, means less topdressing, only if the seedlings grow weak, they can be topdressing, otherwise the seedlings may burn to death.

Ventilation and light to pay attention to the temperature, permeability will not talk about, the temperature is mainly not more than 30 ℃, otherwise the seedlings will not grow, and it is best to maintain a temperature difference between day and night.

In addition, for example, pest control, weeding and so on, I will not repeat them.

5. Transplanting seedlings

When the seedlings grow to 5-7 leaves and the height is 15 cm, they can be transplanted.

Jian Miao, is the selective admission. Of our 100 seeds, 95 germinated, of which 85 were strong, 10 were weak, and then the last was eliminated. In addition, they need to be provided with a broader space for growth.

Transplanting, 85 seedlings will not grow in one pot, and need to be divided into more pots.

Interseedling and transplanting in family planting can be merged into one process. For example, if a vegetable basin can grow 5 mature celery, then I sow 15 seeds, 10 sprouts, 5 sturdy ones, and the rest are pulled out, eliminating the process of changing the basin.

This also depends on how much you want to plant, these are two ways, transplanting must be in the cloudy morning, early morning or evening, while the transpiration is small, the seedlings are watered thoroughly. After that, the celery will be weak for a while, but it will recover soon.

6. Daily management

In summer cultivation, due to the large amount of positive evaporation, water is watered once in the morning and evening every day, and nitrogen fertilizer is the main fertilizer. If the light is too strong, there should be a sunshade net to block the shade.

7. Harvest

The growing period of celery is relatively long, it takes about 3 months from sowing to harvest, and it can be picked and harvested in stages when the plant height is 40-50 cm.
