Then, they can be transplanted directly into pots or soil. Seeds take 2-3 weeks to germinate. If seedlings are sown in the garden, a spacing of 10-15 should be maintained between the two plants.
• SUNLIGHT: While in the seedling stage, they can be kept under the shade immediately after sowing for 1-2 days. Then they can be brought under direct sunlight. During the later stages, the plant requires direct sunlight for 4-5 hours a day followed by exposure to partial sun rays. Celery grows best when the outside temperature is between 15-25 degree centigrade.
