Parsley Plant Care

Keep the soil moist by watering regularly during prolonged dry periods; dry soils can cause the plants to ‘bolt’ (going to seed prematurely). Parsley plant  is a hungry plant, so use a general granular plant feed in the soil before sowing or planting out and feed with a liquid plant food throughout summer.

Light Requirement

• Space parsley plants 6 to 8 inches apart in an area with full sun and nutrient-rich, well-drained soil with a pH of 5.5 to 6.7.
• Offer partial shade if growing in warm climates.

Soil

• A pH range of 6.0 to 7.0 is best.
• Parsley grows best in well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter.
• Fertilize plants in garden beds once or twice during the growing season, using a 5-10-5 commercial fertilizer at a rate of three ounces per 10 feet of row.

Watering

• Parsley plant will need watering about 2-3 times per week.
• If parsley runs out of water, it will let you know by wilting. However, as soon as you re water, in no time it will be standing back upright again.

Application of Fertilizer

• Parsley plant grows best in well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter.
• Fertilize plants in garden beds once or twice during the growing season, using a 5-10-5 commercial fertilizer at a rate of three ounces per 10 feet of row.

Re-potting

Fill the pot no more than half full of potting soil, slightly bringing it up the sides of the pot. Gently press the soil to help it stay in place, and then lightly, but thoroughly, moisten the soil with water. Before repotting any herb, it’s important to carefully prepare the plant’s root ball.
