📅 When to Plant Celeriac?

Celeriac (also known as Knollensellerie) belongs to the Vegetables category and is suitable for outdoor planting from Mid Spring onwards.

Use the Growing Temperature Sum (GTS) as a guide: Celeriac can be safely transplanted once the local GTS has passed the threshold for Mid Spring and no frost is expected. GrowPilot.guide calculates the current GTS for your location automatically.

🗓️ Tip: Always check the 10-day weather forecast before planting outdoors. The GTS is a helpful guide but does not replace a frost check for your specific area.

❄️ Frost Sensitivity & Protection

Celeriac is frost-sensitive and should only be planted out after the last frost date for your area. Minimum night temperature: 8°C. Brief cold snaps below 0°C can cause damage.

🌡️ Optimal Temperatures

Celeriac grows best at daytime temperatures between 16°C and 26°C. Night temperatures should not fall below 8°C.

🍄 Mold & Rain Tolerance

Celeriac shows moderate sensitivity to mold. Take precautions during extended rain or very high humidity – good ventilation is important.
