Why Grow Coriander?

Coriander is an excellent herb for home gardeners due to its:

• Fast Growth: Quick-growing and easy to cultivate in gardens or containers.
• Nutritional Benefits: Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.
• Versatility: Perfect for garnishing, seasoning, or spice blends.

Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

• No special preparation is needed, but lightly crushing the seeds can speed up germination.

Sowing:

• Location: Choose a sunny spot or well-draining container.
• Depth: Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep, covering them lightly with soil.
• Spacing: Space seeds about 6 inches apart for optimal growth.
• Watering: Keep soil moist but avoid overwatering.

Germination:

• Timeframe: Seeds germinate in 7-21 days, depending on conditions.
• Temperature: Maintain 55°F-68°F (13°C-20°C) for best results.

Transplanting:

• Coriander develops a long taproot, making transplanting difficult.
• Direct Sowing Recommended: Best grown in its final location.
• If Started Indoors: Use biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance.

Care & Maintenance:

• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, especially in dry periods.
• Mulching: Apply mulch to retain moisture and prevent weeds.
• Thinning: Thin seedlings to 6 inches apart for better air circulation.
• Harvesting Leaves: Begin cutting leaves when plants reach 6 inches tall. Frequent harvesting promotes bushier growth.
• Harvesting Seeds: Allow plants to flower and produce seeds. When seeds turn brown, cut seed heads and dry them in a paper bag before storing in an airtight container.
