How to grow parsley

1. Soil

Parsley is best grown in loam or sandy loam rich in organic matter, and is most suitable in slightly acidic soil with a pH of around 6. Short-term continuous cropping is possible. When breeding, you can add some gypsum, phosphogypsum and other substances into the soil to lower the soil pH value.

2. Lighting

It needs sufficient light exposure time to grow, but avoid strong sunlight, which can easily cause the plant to wither and die. In summer, the sunlight is too strong and you should pay attention to sunshade.

3. Temperature

Its optimal growth temperature is no less than 14 degrees Celsius and no more than 20 degrees Celsius, and it has strong cold resistance. In summer, you should pay attention to avoiding the heat and avoid keeping it in a high temperature environment for a long time.

4. Watering

It likes moisture and is afraid of waterlogging, so it is best to water it frequently and in small amounts. Do not overwater to prevent root rot or even death.

5. Fertilization

Because its root absorption capacity is weak and it requires more nutrients, the frequency of thin fertilizer application and topdressing should be increased. It is sensitive to boron fertilizer, and lack of boron fertilizer can easily cause stem crack disease.

6. Notes

1. When repotting, check whether the roots have rotten roots and whether the soil at the bottom of the pot is in good condition. Make appropriate adjustments to the soil, charcoal, gypsum and other ingredients in the flowerpot based on the problems that arise.

2. Pay attention to pests. During the period of high insect pests in spring and autumn, you can irrigate the roots with 1000 times diluted 80% dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane every 5-7 days. Repeating 2-3 times can be effective in preventing and controlling pests.
