How long does it take for celery to sprout?

It takes 7-10 days for celery to germinate. The minimum temperature for celery seeds to germinate cannot be lower than 4 degrees Celsius, but the most suitable temperature for celery to germinate is 15-20 degrees Celsius.

If the temperature is lower than 15 degrees Celsius, the germination time of seeds will be prolonged, and the temperature at 25 degrees Celsius and above will also reduce the germination rate. At the same time, seeds need sufficient water and oxygen for germination, and generally the water content should not exceed 80%.

Celery germination time

The germination time of celery is 7-8 days. Celery is a cool plant and needs a humid climate. It is a semi-cold-resistant vegetable and cannot tolerate high temperatures. However, celery has poor cold resistance and its seedlings cannot tolerate frost at too low a temperature. It is recommended to see the initial germination of celery at a temperature of 12-13 degrees Celsius.

Management of celery after emergence

1. When celery seedlings emerge from the soil, remove the film immediately and lower the temperature to prevent it from growing wildly. The night temperature drops to around 10-15℃ and the daytime temperature is not too hot, which is an important condition for the growth of celery seedlings.

2. There should be no lack of water after the seedlings emerge, and the ground should be moist. If the temperature is too high during the growth of celery seedlings, it will lead to slow growth. High temperature and humidity will make it easy to be infected by seedling diseases. No matter in what protected facilities the seedlings are grown, a cool and humid environment must be created to allow the celery seedlings to grow better.
