Water

Celery needs consistently moist soil, typically the equivalent of 2.5–5 cm (1–2 inches) of water per week, and often more during warm or windy periods because its shallow roots dry out quickly.

Care Level

Celery has a high maintenance level, mainly because it needs consistently moist soil, rich nutrients, and cool, steady temperatures to grow well.

Optimal Temperature

Celery grows best in cool conditions, ideally between 60°F and 70°F (15–21°C), which support steady growth and prevent bolting.
