Growing Guide

1. Soil Preparation: Use well-draining, fertile soil mixed with compost or well-rotted organic manure. A pH range of 6.0–7.5 works best.
2. Sowing: Lightly crush the dried coriander seeds (split them in half) before sowing to speed up germination, then sow at a depth of 1 cm.
3. Spacing: Broadcast sow for bulk leaf harvest, or maintain 5–8 cm spacing between plants for fuller growth.
4. Watering: Water lightly every day to keep soil moist until germination, then water every 2–3 days, avoiding waterlogging.
5. Sunlight: Grows best with 4–6 hours of sunlight; tolerates partial shade, especially in hotter months.
6. Thinning: Once seedlings reach 5–7 cm, thin them out to reduce overcrowding and encourage bushier growth.
7. Fertilizing: Apply organic compost or diluted liquid fertilizer once every 2–3 weeks to encourage lush, aromatic leaf growth.
8. Pest Management: Watch for aphids and fungal issues in humid conditions. Use neem oil spray as a natural, safe control method.
9. Harvesting: Ready to harvest in 35–45 days. Snip outer leaves and stems regularly, leaving the center to keep growing.
10. Succession Planting: Sow a fresh batch every 15–20 days for a continuous, steady supply of fresh coriander leaves.
