Plant Care Guide

Full Sunlight

Lighting

Parsley appreciates at least 6 to 8 hours of full direct sunlight a day, if you are living in a hot climate your plant may need some afternoon shade. A south or east facing window will be the best spot in your home.

Frequent Watering

Watering

Parsley’s soil should always be moist but not soggy, they love at least 1 to 2 inches of soil per week. The soil should never dry out as it cannot handle drought, it will lead to the plant browning and withering.

Well-Draining

Soil

Your parsley grows best in loamy soil that has a high organic content and is slightly acidic or close to a neutral soil pH. The high organic matter promotes growth of its best foliage. Make sure your soil is well-draining because Parsley does not like becoming waterlogged. Parsley can benefit from fertilizer at the beginning of the growing season and in the springtime. Give food once a month with half strength edible plant fertilizer or instead mixing your soil with organic matter and compost.

Average Humidity

Humidity

Parsley does not have a humidity requirement and it can handle a wide temperature change; 50 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit is perfect for their needs.
