Starting seeds indoors has many benefits, including an earlier harvest. So get ahead on your gardening by starting celery seeds indoors and producing your own transplants!
Celery seeds are tiny and tricky to plant.
- Gently sprinkle the seed over the potting soil.
- Cover the seeds with just a little bit of soil.
- Celery seeds like to be planted shallowly.
- Water gently.
- The seeds can take two to three weeks to germinate at the optimum temperature of 70 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Celery need consistent light watering during germination and early emergence to keep the growing environment evenly moist.
I found that growing celery indoors is easier than outside cultivation in the garden because you are better able to provide the constant moisture and heat that the celery craves. This can be difficult to provide if you are growing outside in the garden. With a little care, you will be able to enjoy a year round supply of fresh celery.
In order to give your celery new plants the best chance of success, it is best to ‘harden them off’. About 7 days before planting your seedlings outdoors, help acclimate them to temperatures, sunlight, and wind. This is the process of hardening off, or gradually acclimating your new plants to outdoor conditions. With proper hardening off, they’ll have an easier transition to the garden, and you will have strong and healthy celery plants.
Now that you know how to grow celery indoors and how, it is not particularly complicated. Try to start your own seeds indoors, it's so easy. But first, always start by selecting high-quality seeds!
