After there are roots, you can plant the celery in a pot or in the garden. When the plant is established you can trim a stalk or two at a time from the outside edges. It will continue to regrow.

Thanks! I have some growing on my window sill! I can never use up a bunch of celery. Now I get fresh and only what I need - too cool!

You're welcome! I know it works for green onions, celery , beets (for beet greens), and some leafy lettuces. I've done red, white, and sweet potatoes. I'll post others with pics as I can.

Regrowing! First time I heard of this concept was this morning. Now I am psyched to see how many of my past their prime produce items that I can rescue in this way. Thanks!

The picture at the beginning is a new plant, but the big one at the end has been growing for about 6 months.

I've planted pineapple tops many times they grow nice but I've never gotten a pineapple guess it was in the shade too much, the ones in the sun died due to no protection in the winter

You can do the same with a pineapple top. Just put cut leafy top on top of soil and keep lightly damp. Put in sun. When roots start, cover the roots w/ soil.

I think you're cutting off the actual vegetable and leaving the root, since you are growing a new plant.

Lolling at the wording here and can't figure out if I'm saving the connection part or cutting it off... :(

I live in Texas and this plant survived the hot summer (triple digits here in the summer), but we kept it watered well. I'm not sure how much cold it will tolerate. You don't have much to lose! Give it a try!
