西芹根部再種植Re-growing Celery－北極圈的冰冷世界

西芹根部再種植Re-growing Celery~1

還記得之前我在部落格有分享我的室內庭園嗎？雖然我在FB專頁都有簡介青蔥扦插和西芹的根部水插法。我想更新記錄西芹的成長，再整理一下在部落格與大家分享。我相信在北極圈地帶的室內栽種都成功了！如果您居住在春暖花開的季節的環境更能夠體驗到生命的滋長喜悅，而且也可以為您省錢吃到有機的蔬菜或香草。如果您每天願意花少許時間關心照料它們。更能體會到上帝賜給人類有無限的希望與珍貴的責任。

接下來隆重為您來介紹成長，請您耐心欣賞我的實驗喔！當我先實驗青蔥水插成功後，同時我也嘗試了另一個室內植物栽種實驗-使用西芹的根部水插法。就是西芹的根部再利用，切後的根部先用清水洗乾淨，擦乾置旁使它停留幾個小時，讓它的切口結乾後，取有深度的盤子或適中的杯子，讓根部先浸泡在水中，水不要淹滿根部喔！不然很容易發爛。等長出多一點的新芽葉後再移植到盆子的土中。

剛開始西芹的根部過程，呈現乾扁狀態，記得每天或每二天定期換水，而且培養有耐心等待。

經過一週後，雖然長得很慢，但是小小的二個新芽葉似乎慢慢滋長耶！為它歡呼拍手！

經過漫長的二週水插法的西洋芹已經長出亭亭玉立的鱗莖，可以移植入土中，將根部蓋滿土壤，露出新綠芽葉，等它滋長囉！

您看！鱗莖綠葉衝出重圍，向上發展。真心喜悅！

讓我們繼續期待成果，再不久就有茂盛的榮景等我品嘗它們的味道耶！

西芹和萵苣根部再種植Re-growing Celery& Romaine

上個禮拜又加碼一場實驗(上圖)，有西洋芹和萵苣生菜的根部再利用。

您看了心動了嗎？馬上試試吧！一旦您知道方法，您就明白很簡單的。

別忘了！您剛學騎腳踏車時手忙腳亂的囧樣，學會後就知道，其實沒有那麼難，對吧！

趁著5月21日這裡將形成『永晝』，

『永晝』即是24小時永不落日，

來欣賞北極圈地帶的月亮。

Hey, remember when I posted and shared pictures of my indoor garden before?

Although I posted the photos of me growing of little green onions and celery to Facebook. Now I would like to share details of project- re-growing my celery here.

When I tried to regrow the green onions I’d been testing out another little indoor gardening project: re-growing celery from its base. This project is almost as simple as the green onion-growing project. Simply chop the celery stalks from the base of the celery you by at the store and use as you normally would.

I rinse the celery base off, place base side down and cut stalks facing upright. Place it in a small saucer or bowl of water for about a week, give or take. Over the course of the week, the surrounding stalks began to dry out significantly, but the tiny little green leaves from the base began thickening and grow up and out from the center.

After 14 days it was complete. I transferred the celery base to a planter and covered it completely, save for the leaf tips, with a mixture of dirt and potting soil.

After 21 days the overall growth really took off. Not only do I have celery leaves regenerating themselves from the base, but I also can see clear stalks making their way up and out. It's truly fascinating to see this happening a week after planting it in the soil.

I hope that after a couple more weeks, it will continue to grow and become thriving and bushy.

Give it a try; it is easy once you know how.
