Here is the BEST Time to Fertilize Celery in Georgia (2023 Guide)

Do you want to fertilize Celery in Georgia, but don’t know when the best time to do so is?

Fertilizing celery is not as easy as it seems.

Here’s why:

  • Celery require a specific time to be fertilized and a particular amount of fertilization.

So if you fertilize them too early they will die and if you fertilize them too late you won’t get any fruit.

And if you fertilize too much you will “burn” your plant and if you don’t fertilize enough your celery plant won’t grow quickly and large enough to bear a high yield of fruit.

Today, I’m going to teach you the ideal time to fertilize celery in Georgia:

When to Fertilize Celery in Georgia

There are two specific times you should fertilize your celery plants:

  • You should immediately fertilize your celery plants with a 10-10-10 NPK balanced fertilizer mix. The fertilizer should either be mixed with the soil you are planting or in the hole before you transplant your celery into the ground. This will allow your plants to grow quicker and larger.

  • The second round of fertilization should be applied just as your celery plant begins to grow fruit. You will want to still use a 10-10-10 balanced fertilizer mix. You will want to apply it to your soil and immediately water after. This will allow your celery plant to bear bigger and more fruit.

How Much Fertilizer Should I Apply to My Celery Plants?

The amount of fertilization you apply will depend on the specific type of celery plant you have.

As a general rule you should:

  • Always follow the instructions on your fertilizer package. Never apply more than the recommended amount.
  • Apply the proper amount of fertilization around your celery plant and never directly on it or on its stem.
  • Provide the same amount of fertilization each time you apply it so that your celery plant does not become shocked by too many or too few nutrients.
