Grow celery at home in containers with ease using this step-by-step guide.

Some celery varieties are better suited for container growing due to their size and growing speed:

‘Utah 52-70’: Classic, long-stalked variety.

‘Tango’: Slow-bolting and compact; good for containers.

‘Golden Self-Blanching’: Naturally paler, sweeter celery.

‘Little Leaf’ or Mini celery: Smaller plants perfect for tight spaces.

Seed packets or seedlings are available at garden centers or online.

Step 2: Select the Perfect Container
Celery has shallow but wide-spreading roots, so your container should be:

Depth: At least 10-12 inches deep.

Width: Minimum 12 inches in diameter; larger containers support multiple plants.

Material: Plastic, ceramic, or fabric pots all work. Ensure good drainage.

Drainage holes: Essential to prevent waterlogging.

If space is limited, try rectangular trough-style planters.
