Regrow Celery

Materials:

• Celery

• bowl

• water

Directions:

1. Simply chop the base from the celery stalk, leaving about 2 inches.

2. Place it in a dish of water in a sunny location. That is all you need to do.

After a few days:

You should see the celery’s center leaves starting to grow. No roots will be visible yet.

After just 1 week:

the center leaves should change color and starting to poke up a little bit. Still no roots at this point.

This celery has been growing in only water for three weeks. At this time your celery is ready to be transplanted into soil. This step could be done sooner.

Tips for growing Celery:

• Celery does not grow well in hot conditions, so make sure you give your celery plant adequate water and shade during the hottest part of the day. If your plant does not receive enough water, it will become tough and stringy. YUCK! So keep your plant hydrated!

• You can remove only a few stalks of celery at a time. No need to harvest the whole plant. When doing this, make sure you remove the outer stalks first and let the less developed inner stalks continue growing. Take care not to damage the rest of the plant if removing individual stalks.
