celery

Celery (Apium graveolens) is a popular vegetable known for its crisp texture and refreshing flavor. It is characterized by long, fibrous stalks that taper into leafy tops. Celery is commonly eaten raw as a snack, added to salads, soups, and stews, or juiced for its health benefits.

In hydroponics, celery thrives in nutrient-rich water systems and grows upright, making it an efficient crop to cultivate. It requires steady light, humidity, and moderate temperatures for optimal growth.

Adding celery to your hydroponic crop range is a smart move, appealing to health-conscious consumers and culinary enthusiasts alike! 🌱
