Step 2 Plant the Seeds
Mix alluvial soil, light loam soil, and sandy soil with earthworm castings and well-rotted compost. Fill the seedling tray with this mixture, leaving a 2-3 cm gap from the top.
Spread the soaked seeds evenly over the prepared soil, maintaining a distance of 20 cm between rows and 20 cm between plants to allow for adequate growth space.
Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil and use a spray bottle to moisten the soil, ensuring sufficient moisture for germination.
Note: Ensure your plants receive ample sunlight to prevent spindly growth.

3 Care and Harvesting
Caring for and Harvesting Curly Parsley
Water Curly Parsley Daily
Water your parsley daily, providing sufficient moisture. When watering, use a moderate amount of water to avoid over-saturating the roots, which can lead to root rot and plant death.
About a week after planting, supplement with organic, bio-fertilizers to help the plants recover and stimulate growth. After 20-25 days from the first fertilization, mix 100 grams of urea and superphosphate with 20 liters of water and apply this solution to your parsley in the cool afternoon hours.
Harvest Curly Parsley after 100-140 Days
Curly parsley is ready for harvest about 100-140 days after planting, when the plants reach a height of 30-45 cm. When harvesting, cut the stems about 3 cm above the root and continue to fertilize and care for the plant for subsequent harvests.
