Parsley is the most common herb grown in the garden. Dill can be compared to it. And so there is a periodic mess that it does not want to grow. As if they sowed well, prepared the bed, but it is barely biting. Let's look for reasons why this could happen.
Not enough potassium
One of the main reasons is soil that lacks potassium. The fact is that parsley can survive nitrogen and phosphorus deficiency. And without potassium - no.
Fertilizers
It is best to use organic fertilizers. Arrange them on the bed. It is also good to dig up before that, so that the top layer of the soil has everything it needs. You can use compost, granulated or dried manure, fermented grass, liquid humus or mineral fertilizers.
Watering
Although parsley is a hardy plant, it does not like water shortage. And it is not necessary to arrange an excessive amount of moisture either. The balance of watering is an ideal option. If it is hot, you need to water every day.
Soil acidity
Pay attention to this factor. To grow parsley, acidity should be at the level of 6,5–7,5. If you have a difference in one direction or another, you need to level the indicator on the bed.
Light mode
Parsley loves the sun. And you need to know about this when choosing a place under the flower bed. It will not grow in the shade. Without a sufficient amount of light, parsley slows down the growth and formation of the leaf rosette.
So, look for reasons and eliminate negative factors. Only in this case, you can expect normal growth of your favorite fragrant parsley.
