Parsley has grown, but you should not immediately cut off all the leaves, because it tends to restore them.

An easy way is to use a ready-made plant stem. We send it into the water and after 5-7 days roots may appear. After that, we plant the plant in a pot and water it regularly, sprinkle the leaves with water. When there are more than 6 leaves, you can cut off the top so that it begins to bush.
