    When you plant them, give them balanced and complete fertilizer and again in about 6 weeks. Another month after that, fertilize them with a nitrogen rich fertilizer.

    Hi johnmichael~
    Celery does not require light to germinate. However, they are a bit finicky and can take up to three weeks to sprout. Just barely cover the seeds and be sure to keep them moist. Celery seeds also have a higher percentage of germination when a lower temperature is maintained.

    No, unfortunately you cannot root the stalk. You need to start it from seed.

    That is the daytime temperature. Also, celery requires at least a soil temperature of around 59-60 degrees F.

    Your celery has bolted. Harvest celery as soon as it's large enough to use. Either cut off individual stems as they develop color or pull the entire plant and cut off the roots. Celery should be harvested when the petioles (stalks) from the soil line to the first node are at least 6 inches long.

    Celery does best in cool weather when nighttime temperatures are around 50 degrees F. and average daytime temperatures stay between 60 degrees to 70 degrees.
