+ Free Shipping- Select a Location For Coriander Seeds: Coriander prefers well-drained soil and partial to full sunlight. Choose a location that receives at least 4-6 hours of sunlight per day.
- Prepare the Soil: If you’re growing coriander in a pot, fill it with a good quality potting mix. If planting in a garden bed, prepare the soil by amending it with organic compost to improve drainage and fertility.
- Sow the Seeds: Coriander seeds are best sown directly where you want them to grow because they don’t transplant well due to their delicate taproot. Space the seeds about 1 inch apart and plant them about 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep in the soil. If you’re planting multiple rows, space the rows 6-8 inches apart.
- Watering: Water the seeds gently but thoroughly after planting. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Coriander doesn’t like to dry out completely between waterings.
- Thinning (if necessary): Once the seedlings emerge and have a few leaves, thin them out by removing the weaker seedlings, leaving about 3-4 inches of space between each plant. This gives the remaining plants room to grow.
- Fertilization: Coriander generally doesn’t require heavy fertilization. You can apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer once a month, or you can use a diluted liquid fertilizer every couple of weeks if you notice slow growth or yellowing leaves.
- Harvesting: Coriander leaves (cilantro) can be harvested once the plants have developed enough foliage, usually about 3-4 weeks after sowing. You can cut the leaves as needed, leaving some at the base to encourage continued growth. Coriander seeds are typically ready for harvest when the plant bolts (produces tall flower stalks). Allow the seeds to turn brown and dry on the plant. Harvest them by cutting the stalks and collecting the seeds.
- Pests and Diseases: Keep an eye out for aphids, whiteflies, and leafhoppers, which can be common pests for coriander. You can use organic insecticidal soap to control them. Proper watering and good air circulation can also help prevent fungal diseases.
- By following these steps, you should be able to successfully grow coriander from seed. Enjoy fresh cilantro in your dishes and collect coriander seeds for use in cooking or for planting in future seasons.
