When and how to plant coriander in winter (master these 4 steps to grow high-quality coriander)

In daily life, many people use coriander as a seasoning. Some people prefer to eat coriander. Coriander has many benefits.

It is also very good for removing the fishy smell of meat. However, due to the climate of the region, the winter sowing in some areas is also different. So, how to plant coriander in winter? What are the precautions?

①Sowing time

The sowing period of coriander is from early September to late October. In the southern region, due to the relatively warm climate, the sowing period can be postponed to the end of October . However, the best sowing period should be determined according to the climatic conditions in different regions.

②Coriander Varieties

• There are two kinds of coriander: one is large leaves and the other is small leaves.

The large-leaf plant is taller, has larger leaves, and has a higher yield, but it has one disadvantage, which is that it has poor cold resistance.

The small leaves have a stronger fragrance, are very cold-resistant and adaptable, but because the plant is short, it has fewer leaves and the yield is also low.

③Winter seed selection type

In winter, you should choose some overwintering varieties that are more cold-resistant, recover faster, and grow faster. Because the temperature in winter is relatively low, the germination of coriander seeds and the growth of seedlings need to maintain a certain temperature.

④Environmental conditions for winter sowing

• 1. Soil

When choosing soil, you should choose soil that is sheltered from the wind, has plenty of sunlight, faces a sunny slope, has relatively high soil temperature, is easy to drain, and is relatively easy to grow.

When preparing the soil, crush the soil and sprinkle organic fertilizer as base fertilizer to make the soil very loose and fertile.

• 2. Leveling the land

Before sowing, you must thoroughly remove dead branches and weeds in the soil, level the ground, and make sure the soil is moistened.

⑤Seed treatment

Since the seed skin is covered with a layer of skin for protection, in order to make the seeds germinate better, you need to rub the skin clean, soak it in water at about 30 degrees for a day, and then take it out for sowing.

⑥Sowing techniques

Mix the processed seeds and fine soil together, then sprinkle them in the pit, cover them with fine soil, and then cover them with plastic film. This will provide the coriander seeds with sufficient temperature and humidity to germinate.

⑦ Management and maintenance methods during the growth period

1. Plant ventilation

Generally, if coriander is planted in a greenhouse, the plastic film should be removed after the seedlings grow out so that the seedlings can breathe fresh air.

When the seedlings grow to more than four centimeters, the density can be diluted and the spacing between plants can be kept at about three centimeters, which will help eliminate weeds.

2. Watering time

Coriander generally does not need too much watering during the seedling stage. When the seedlings grow to about ten centimeters, it is the peak period of growth and needs watering.

Just keep the surface of the soil moist , but don't allow too much water, otherwise the roots will rot easily.

We can apply some fertilizer in the middle of the growth according to the situation. When the seedlings grow, the weather is clear and the temperature is relatively high, the mulch can be removed.

Then let the seedlings breathe moisture and air. When the temperature drops at night, cover them with plastic film to prevent the seedlings from being damaged.

Conclusion

In fact , the most important thing for coriander planting in winter is to do a good job of heat preservation and humidity treatment. Therefore, before preparing for planting, especially for coriander planting in winter, you must understand the relevant planting techniques.
