Parsley is one of the most unpretentious crops in the garden. But even in the summer she can slow down growth, become sluggish, and the leaves often become brighter than usual. This is especially noticeable in July. The reasons lie in the weather, care and conditions in which it grows.
What interferes with growing
Heat
Parsley does not tolerate high temperatures. In the heat of more than 28-30 degrees, she slows down metabolic processes. The leaves wither, the plant goes into the “waiting mode”, saving strength.
Dry soil
In July, the earth quickly loses moisture. Without regular watering, the roots dry out, and parsley loses the opportunity to grow. Even short -term drought slows down the development.
Soil exhaustion
After several slices of greens, plants are pulled from the Earth maximum nutrients. If you do not feed the beds, by the middle of summer the soil becomes poor, and the plants are weakening.
Too thick
If the parsley is sown without thinning, she begins to fight with herself: for water, light, food. This leads to a weakening of greenery in the entire bed.
How to help parsley recover
Water on time
An ideal time is morning or evening, when moisture does not evaporate immediately. The soil should be constantly slightly wet, but not swampy.
File softly
Once a month, make humus or compost. It is better to exclude chemical compounds, since parsley quickly accumulates nitrates in itself.
Draw up landings
Remove weak and extra plants so that the rest is enough for air and light. This helps the roots to breathe, and the greens can gain strength.
Create a shadow
If the temperature goes off scale, arrange a slight shade. Tighten the agricultural fiber or put the arcs with a white cloth. This will reduce stress from the heat.
Remove old leaves
Yellow or damaged parts inhibit growth. Regular cleaning of the bush activates the development of new shoots.
If you notice changes in time and adjust care, parsley will again delight you with fresh bright greenery. In July, she needs special attention, but thanks for him with a quick recovery.
