Instructions
Growing Celery
- Cut off the base of a celery bunch, about 1-2 inches from the bottom.
- Place the celery base in a small bowl with about an inch of water, ensuring the cut side faces up.
- Place the bowl in a sunny spot and change the water every 1-2 days.
- After a few days, you will notice new shoots and roots starting to grow from the base.
- Once the shoots are a few inches tall and the roots are well-developed, transfer the celery base to a pot filled with potting soil.
- Plant the celery base so that the top of the base is just above the soil level, and water it thoroughly.
- Continue to water regularly and provide a sunny environment; new celery stalks will develop.
- Harvest the outer stalks as needed, allowing the inner stalks to continue growing.
Serving
- Use the fresh celery in your favorite salad, optionally with dressing, or as a healthy snack.
Notes
Ensure the celery base gets plenty of sunlight for optimal growth. For a continuous harvest, plant new celery bases regularly.
