Endless parsley – this is how you can do it
As we have said, parsley is widely used and it is usually the greengrocer who gives it to us. But what many people don’t know is that with a single twig you can create a plant so that you always have parsley available. Doing it is not that complicated, but if you don’t have a good green thumb, it is better to seek help.
First you will have to choose a good twig , it must be at least 4 centimeters long and completely healthy. It should not be too young and should have tufts of leaves on top. Once you have obtained the twig from the fruit shop, remove the leaves at the base.

Now put the twig in a tall glass with water inside so that the roots sprout . Place the glass in a bright location but out of direct sunlight, such as a window sill. Pay attention to the temperature, however, it should not be too low, the ideal is around 20°C.
In fact, precisely because parsley needs warm temperatures, the best time to plant it is spring, when temperatures are neither too high nor too low. After a few weeks in the water you will see roots appear. When these are thick enough you can plant the parsley in a pot with soil .

The soil for planting parsley should be composed of black peat, blonde peat and clay . The latter helps in drainage by preventing water stagnation. Now that you have gotten your parsley plant, all you have to do is care for it to keep it healthy and leafy.
It will be enough to water it often, especially in the hottest times. But remember not to overdo it, the soil should only be moist. In cold months, bring the plant indoors or cover it with nylon sheets. Additionally , you can fertilize it in spring with a nitrogen-based fertilizer or compost . Then you can also try planting some parsley to always have it fresh.
