If you have a balcony or small terrace, you can easily grow your parsley in a pot . It is a plant that adapts well even to the smallest spaces, since it does not grow excessively. But how to do it ? First, you will need to prepare everything you need for sowing. Get a pot of at least 20 cm in diameter (up to three small plants can grow in it), choosing it from the tallest ones: parsley roots grow deep and need space.
As for the soil, this grass has no special requirements. You can buy soil for horticultural crops by mixing it with a little sand. Even better if, at the bottom of the pot, you place a layer of expanded clay to promote good drainage of water: you will thus avoid the risk of water stagnation, one of the first causes of wilting of plants ( When this happens, in fact , the water probably caused the root rot.
Once the pot is prepared, you can sow your parsley . When to do it? In reality there is no best period, you just need to ensure that the temperatures never drop below 14°/15°C (even at night): this is why it is advisable to do it between March and October in warm regions, while the storm window is slightly narrower in colder locations. Now let’s see how to plant parsley.
Move the soil on the surface a little and spread the seeds on the fly , so that they are evenly distributed over all the soil you have. Then cover with a thin layer of potting soil and wet it, then place the pot in the sun. If you want to speed up the process a bit, let the seeds germinate indoors first , using techniques such as germinating in cotton or paper towels, and only later place them in the soil , with the same procedure that we have just seen.
Alternatively, you can purchase an already grown parsley seedling and transplant it into your pot. In this case, we speak of transplanting : this operation must also be carried out when temperatures no longer drop below 15°C, therefore generally from spring to the end of autumn. All you have to do is dig a small hole in the ground and place the plant there, then re-compact everything with your hands. And now that you have planted parsley , all you have to do is wait for the results of your efforts: let’s discover some tips for growing this plant so that it grows luxuriantly.
