1. 🌱 Sowing & Seedling Care

Celery seeds are tiny; press onto moist fine seed mix and cover very lightly. Nursery raising gives better control. Harden seedlings before transplanting.

2. ☀️ Sunlight, Soil & Water

• Light: A sunny cool-season bed with protection from unusually strong afternoon heat.
• Soil: Rich, well-composted, moisture-retentive but draining soil.
• Watering: Celery needs consistent moisture and should not experience frequent drought stress.

3. 🌿 Fertiliser & Plant Care

Support prolonged growth with mature compost and conservative balanced feed based on plant response.

4. 🐛 Pests to Watch

Inspect stems and leaves for aphids, leaf miners and chewing caterpillars. Check plants regularly; use a pesticide only when needed, legally approved and correctly labelled for the crop and intended use.

5. 🛡️ Diseases & Prevention

Remove diseased foliage promptly; encourage airflow to limit leaf spots and rotting crowns.

6. ✂️ Harvesting & After-care

Cut mature outer stalks or harvest whole plants while tender. Self-blanching types do not need the same elaborate wrapping as traditional blanching celery.

❓ Customer FAQ
