- Potting mix
- A pot with drainage holes
- Water
Instructions:

- Lightly cover the seeds with a thin layer of potting mix.
- Water the seeds gently.
- Place the pot in a warm, sunny spot.
- Keep the potting mix moist but not soggy.
- The seeds should germinate within 7-10 days.
- Once the seedlings have emerged, thin them out so that there is about 1 inch of space between each plant.
- Water the plants regularly and fertilize them every 2-3 weeks with a balanced fertilizer.
- Harvest the parsley leaves as needed.
Here are some additional tips for growing parsley at home:
- Parsley prefers cool weather, so it is a good idea to grow it indoors during the summer.
- Parsley does not need a lot of space to grow, so you can plant it in a small pot or container.
- Parsley is ready to harvest within 4-6 weeks of germination.
- Parsley can be eaten fresh in salads, soups, and sauces. It can also be used to garnish dishes.
Enjoy your homegrown parsley!
Note: Parsley seeds can be slow to germinate, so be patient. You can also help to speed up germination by soaking the seeds in water for 24 hours before planting.
