The growth and development of water celery is affected by the length of sunshine, and the sunshine is short in autumn and winter, which is the peak period of vegetative growth of water celery roots and leaves. Under the condition of long sunshine in spring and summer, water celery turns to Internode elongation and stolon growth, which is also the reproductive growth period of flowering and fruiting.

Water celery likes dampness, is afraid of drought, and needs plenty of water during the growing period.
