How long does celery grow?

The growth cycle of celery is about 3-4 months. Its growth time will be affected by many factors such as soil, temperature, humidity, etc., and there are also differences between different varieties. For example, the growth cycle of Chinese celery is 110-130 days, and the growth cycle of Western celery is 150-180 days.

The growth of celery goes through three stages: seedling stage, vegetative growth stage, and reproductive growth stage. The plants are sown around March-April and harvested from June to August.

Celery growth process

1. Seedling stage: The seedling stage of celery begins when the first true leaf unfolds. The growth rate of celery during this period is very slow.

2. Slow growth period: During this period, celery will grow new leaves and new roots. The color of the plant's leaves will gradually deepen, and the growth rate will remain slow.

3. Rapid growth period: During this period, the leaves of celery will fully expand, the petioles will gradually become enlarged, and the growth will be very rapid, lasting about 50 days.

Celery growth period maintenance and management

1. During the celery seedling stage, many weed seeds will also germinate together. At this time, you should buy some herbicides, dilute them with clean water and spray them. This can effectively prevent the growth of weeds.

2. As celery continues to grow, its demand for nutrients increases as it enters the growth period. At this time, it needs more light and should be supplemented with fertilizers mainly composed of potassium fertilizers.
