How to grow Italian parsley

1. Soil

Growing Italian parsley requires loose, fertile soil with good drainage. Among them, sandy soil is most suitable for its growth. You can also sprinkle some rice husk ash to facilitate drainage.

2. Lighting

It prefers light and can be placed on an indoor balcony or in a well-lit place outdoors for cultivation, but it needs proper shading during the hot summer season, otherwise it will affect its growth.

3. Temperature

It likes warm and cool climates and is relatively cold-resistant. Spring and autumn are best times for its growth. The temperature in summer, spring and autumn should be kept at 15-20℃. When the temperature is high in summer, it needs to be cooled appropriately to avoid affecting its growth. The temperature should not be lower than -2℃ in winter, otherwise frost damage is likely to occur.

4. Watering

It likes a humid environment, but is afraid of waterlogging. You can water it according to the principle of "water when dry and water when wet", but be careful not to allow water to accumulate, otherwise it will affect its normal growth.

5. Fertilization

It likes fertilizer, and is particularly sensitive to boron fertilizer. Stems are prone to cracking when it lacks boron. Before planting, apply sufficient well-rotted organic fertilizer as base fertilizer. During the peak leaf growth period, apply urea or 0.3% potassium dihydrogen phosphate on the leaves.
