Here is the BEST Time to Fertilize Parsley in Arizona (2023 Guide)

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

Fertilizing parsley is not as easy as it seems.

Here’s why:

  • Parsley requires 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 harvest.

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

Today, I’m going to teach you the ideal time to fertilize parsley in Arizona:

  • To Learn More About WHEN To Fertilize Parsley then read this GUIDE!


When to Fertilize Parsley in Arizona

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

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

  • The second round of fertilization should be applied just as your parsley plant begins to grow large, edible leaves. You will want to still use a balanced fertilizer mix, preferably water-soluble. You will want to apply it to your soil and immediately water after and will continue to do this every 2 – 4 weeks. This will allow your parsley plant to bear bigger and more harvest.

The amount of fertilization you apply will depend on the specific type of parsley 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 parsley plant and never directly on it or on its stem.
  • Provide the same amount of fertilization each time you apply it so that your parsley plant does not become shocked by too many or too few nutrients.
