Aromatic plants<\/strong> are a real treasure to have on the balcony where we will find leaves<\/strong> to flavor<\/strong> our dishes in the kitchen. And which seedling is more fragrant than parsley<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Parsley is a biennial plant<\/strong>, typical of Mediterranean areas, famous for its leaves<\/strong> with a slightly bitter but irresistible taste. It is not among the easiest aromatic plants<\/strong>, but it is not too complicated to take care of it either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Did you know that you only need to get a sprig of this plant at the greengrocer<\/strong> to have a huge supply of parsley? Let’s find out how to do it together, through multiplication<\/strong> by cuttings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First of all, you will have to ask the greengrocer to give you a sprig at least 4 cm<\/strong> long, that is healthy<\/strong>, not too young and that has a nice tuft of leaves<\/strong> on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you have taken the twig, remove<\/strong> all the leaves<\/strong> that are at the base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Warning<\/strong>: if you have no experience with plants, you can ask for help from a professional gardening expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n At this point, you need to make sure that roots sprout<\/strong> from the base of the twig. How to do it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n All you need to do is put the twig in a glass<\/strong> or container filled with water<\/strong>. Alternatively, bury your base in a mixture of peat moss and sand<\/strong> so that it always stays moist<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At this point, you should place the twig in a location that is bright enough, but doesn’t get direct sunlight. Ideally, you should keep it on a windowsill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pay attention<\/strong>, then, to temperatures<\/strong> that should be between 18 and 24 \u00b0C<\/strong>. Consequently, the best time to proceed with the multiplication of parsley is spring<\/strong> or the end of summer<\/strong>, when temperatures are neither too high nor too low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NB:<\/strong> If you want to speed up the root growth process, you can run the base of the cutting into a rooting compound<\/strong> that you can easily find in the nursery. Alternatively, you can use ground cinnamon<\/strong> which stimulates the growth of new roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read here<\/strong> if you want to know about other uses of ground cinnamon in the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After a few weeks, if you have taken good care of the cutting, you will notice that it has sprouted roots<\/strong>. When these seem thick enough, you can remove the twig from the water (or from the <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>sand-peat<\/strong> mixture ) and plant it<\/strong> in a real jar of soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ideal soil is given by a mixture of black<\/strong> peat, blond<\/strong> peat and clay<\/strong> that guarantees excellent <\/strong>drainage<\/strong> by contrasting the formation of stagnant water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At this point, your parsley<\/strong> seedling is ready! Remember that, starting from individual twigs, you can always proceed with this method to get an infinite number of new seedlings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to parsley, do you want to have a basil plant<\/strong> on the balcony?Find out here<\/strong> how to take care of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you’ve obtained a royal parsley<\/strong> seedling , you need to take care of it to keep it healthy<\/strong> and thick<\/strong> at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To do this, remember that this seedling needs a lot of water<\/strong>, especially when it is hot: water it every day, without exaggerating the quantity, to keep the soil<\/strong> constantly moist<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A secret is to always choose terracotta pots<\/strong> : this material, in fact, allows the soil to breathe and consequently increases the well-being of the roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the cold months, you should protect it from the cold by introducing the seedling indoors<\/strong> or keeping it sheltered<\/strong> with nylon sheets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, remember that, to stimulate the appearance of new leaves, you can fertilize it from the beginning of spring<\/strong>. The ideal fertilizer is nitrogen-based<\/strong>, but you can also simply use compost<\/strong>.Here are<\/strong> some natural fertilizers you can try using with your parsley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you want to know how to take care of other aromatic plants as well?
