Where is home Stefs? And what variety do you intend to grow?

Look for a self blanching celery.
And celery need a lot of water to stop them geting striny, whuch wouldn't be much fun in a juicer

[Stefs]

Apium Graveolens Var. Dulce
I looking to plant this in house. What u think?

It could work, though I expect celery would grow better outdoors. Also you may have difficulty growing enough of it for juicing purposes.

Hi Stefs and welcome.
Celery is difficult to grow well - especially if you want the white, crisp stalks that you show in the photo.
They need a lot of water to grow well. It takes at least 6 months to grow to a good size.
There is some good advice at https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/grow-y...etables/celery which may help you.
I don't grow it as it is too hard.
It would help if you told us which country you live in - most of us live in the UK and only know about the climate and growing conditions here.

I am from Montenegro (small country in Europe). I planning to grow them in house...

Well I hope you do better then mine- they were matchstick size!! they were ok in soup but very stringy!!

Plant them in a block outside, self blanching ones, water really really well [ I'm not sure if it is possible to overwater them] and feed well too.
I usually grow them for soup so I don't mind how dark they are, the darker the better really.

When you say you're growing them in the house, do you mean in pots on the windowsill or something? Because you'll need a big pot for each one if that's the case. They kind of have a big main root [ and lots of little ones too obviously], like chard, so they'll need a deep-ish pot.
