Pond PLant question: water celery
 

When can you harvest it for salads?

JUST KIDDING!!

In 6 months or so, my water celery has stayed a smallish plant. I had
it in rocks in a pot and the roots grew out over the top into the
water. I repotted it in soil with gravel and rocks on top and the
roots, again, came out of the top in abundance. That's great that the
roots are so happy, but how do i get the leaves to grow?

Thanks.

You can just let it be in the water. The roots will grow, and the top. See
if summer does not help. Ours is now trying to come up next to the pond,
through the dirt!

And, yes, you can eat it.

When the weather warms up, I have trouble keeping it under
control. I cut it every other week. Mine is just starting
to take off. The water celery that has sprung up along side
the pond seems to be growing faster at the moment.

Hi Bonnie,

So your celery tries to escape as well!

We are mowing it where it hits grass and pulling it in the shrubs. Thus
far, we are ahead.

Mowing water celery?

Hi GD,

Yep. The water celery seems also to be a terrestrial. It comes out and
sends runners under the rocks. It surfaces on the berm behind the veggie
pond/fileters. In the hot summer, it does poorly on the berm. In the
spring, it thrives. The mower does the trick.

Want some?

I don't need any, thanks. What you call water celery mustn't be what
I call water celery. Vallisneria americana does not survive out of
water. Got pictures?

It is not Vallisneria americana. I used to grow that in my fish tanks. No
way that escapes onto the lawn!
