All regarding Celery cultivation
What is Celery?
Celery (Apium Graveolens L.Va.Dulc) belongs to Apiaceae, which is one of the most widely used plants, with many beneficial properties.
Botanical characteristics
- Celery is a biennial, 30 to 100 cm tall, branched plant with a spindle-shaped, angular root that is deeply furrowed. It is often hollow and tubular, with short branches. Leaves have long petioles, 3 to 7 leaflets, which are 10 to 30 mm long and 7 to 35 mm wide, and petioles are spotted. They are diamond-delta-shaped, sometimes wedge-shaped. Leaves on the upper stem are sometimes opposite, almost without base, with a short sheath and membranous margin.
- Umbels are numerous, small, often opposite leaves, with short inflorescences or almost without inflorescences. Petals are 0.5 mm long, while mericarps are 1.5 to 2 mm long. Celery seeds are spherical with some depressions on both sides.

- Seeds that are moistened before sowing, germinate better.
Cultivation method
- First, the plants are grown from early March to mid-April in the seedling treasury, where they are covered with rotted leaf soil, irrigated, and sown.
- Once the seeds have germinated and the celery plant has four leaves, it is removed and planted linearly in a second seedling treasury a few centimeters apart.
- The plants are transplanted from the second seedling treasury to the main field in late May and early August when they become more vigorous.
- These seedlings are cultivated in rows 30-40 cm apart and then will be irrigated.
