Water:
Celery and Marshwort thrives in moist environments, requiring consistent moisture with low drought tolerance. Watering twice a week is essential for its health. Typically grown outdoors, celery and Marshwort benefits from rich, moisture-retentive soil to support growth and resilience during various rain patterns.
Propagation:
The primary propagation method for celery and Marshwort is seed sowing, requiring temperatures of 15-21°C (59-70°F) and well-draining soil. Pre-soaking seeds enhances germination. Follow the steps of soaking, sowing 0.5 cm deep, covering, watering, and ensuring bright conditions, while monitoring for pests and overwatering.
