Step 3: Planting the Celery
1. Fill the pot with potting soil, leaving about an inch at the top.

4. Pat the soil gently around the base to secure it.
5. Water the plant thoroughly but avoid making the soil soggy.
Step 4: Caring for Your Celery Plant
1. Place the pot in a location that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight each day.
2. Water the plant regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist.
3. Fertilize with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks for optimal growth.
4. Protect the plant from extreme temperatures and pests.
Step 5: Harvesting Celery
1. Wait for the celery stalks to reach a height of about 8 inches before harvesting.
2. Harvest the outer stalks first, allowing the inner stalks to continue growing.
3. Use a sharp knife or scissors to cut the stalks near the base.
