In winter, especially when there is frost and extreme cold outside the window, it will be nice to see fresh herbs on the table. She will not only decorate dishes and diversify the menu, but also present a large amount of vitamins. Therefore, you need to use every opportunity and available conditions to grow greens yourself.
Celery, when purchased in a store, is not completely consumed in food. The inedible part of it remains, which is most often thrown away. But it turns out that from this inedible part, you can grow celery again, at home.
Forcing celery greens at home
In order to start growing celery greens, you need to prepare a half-liter jar or a small cup, plain water, a knife and a bunch of store-bought stalked celery.
In a bunch of celery there is the lowest part (at the very root), which is not suitable for food. Cut off this part and lower it into a container with water. The water should only cover half of this base cut from the bundle. The container with the plant must be placed in a well-lit place. Choose a windowsill on the sunny side. Celery is a heat-loving and light-loving plant.
All that will need to be done in the future is to add water on time to the initial rate. Only a few days will pass, and the first shoots of greenery will appear. And after about a week, not only young green twigs will noticeably grow up, but also a root system will begin to form. In this form, celery can continue to grow in water conditions, or you can already transplant it into a flower pot. It will feel equally good in a container with water and in soil. Its growing location will not in any way affect the future greenery harvest.
This is how, without much hassle, you can turn plant waste into wholesome and nutritious food.
