Planting parsley seedlings
The most effective method of growing parsley is through adult seedlings that you can easily find in plant stores. Or, if you prefer, you can choose to root the seedlings in water by cutting. This technique guarantees the health of your seedling. However, do not be alarmed if the plant is in the ground, as it is enough for you to transfer it to the vase or to your vegetable garden.
Remember to keep space between seedlings and, if potted, make sure you have a pot with room for the roots. Afterwards, water the plant in the morning or late afternoon, as these are the times when the sun is not so strong.
Making seedlings by cuttings
To transfer a seedling that is in the soil to the water rooting method, it is simple. You will have to cut a parsley plant that is up to 15 cm. Then, in a glass with clean, chlorine-free water, place the parsley. But attention, only the stem should be in contact with the water, don't let the plant sink and wet the leaves. Now all you have to do is keep the glass out of direct sunlight, but leave it in airy places with indirect light.
And also change the water every three days, so that it does not accumulate dirt. At this stage, all you have to do is wait for the parsley to form large, strong roots. This process should take a week or two. Afterwards, just transfer it to the earth, where it should have contact with fertilizer. In addition, leave it exposed to the sun for a maximum of 4 hours a day, and leave the soil always moist, but without soaking wet.
You will see how beautifully your parsley will grow.
