Parsley is a small, herbaceous plant notable for its bright green, curly or flat leaves that are richly aromatic. Thriving in moist, fertile soil, parsley typically enjoys partial shade, allowing it to develop its signature flavorful foliage. These leaves are not only key for culinary uses but also aid in the plant's efficient nutrient absorption.
Water:
Parsley thrives in Mediterranean climates, preferring consistently moist soil and moderate humidity. Water twice a week to avoid waterlogging and dryness. Best suited for outdoor cultivation, ensure adequate watering during the growing season to support lush foliage.
Propagation:
To propagate parsley, soak seeds overnight, then sow in moist, loamy soil. Ensure bright light and temperatures between 10-25°C (50-77°F). Keep soil evenly moist, thin seedlings, and transplant outdoors after frost risk has passed. Germination is slow, with moderate difficulty in timing and care.
