Best time and technology for planting coriander. When is the best time to grow seedlings?

Coriander planting time

Due to the growth habits of coriander, it has two sowing times a year. The first time is usually in May and June in spring, and the second time is around October in autumn. The climate and temperature during this period are more suitable for the growth of coriander, but it must also be adjusted appropriately according to the local climate.

Coriander growth cycle

The growing period of coriander is about 30 to 60 days, which is quite fast. Not long after sowing, we can see small tender shoots similar to weeds growing out of it. With careful care, the small tender shoots will gradually grow into seedlings. This is its first growth stage. After thinning out the seedlings, the coriander will gradually mature until the second growth stage, when it can be harvested.

Methods and steps for growing coriander

1. Land preparation

Before planting coriander, the soil should be plowed to a depth of about 10-15 cm, then the soil should be exposed to strong light for three days, and then an appropriate amount of processed farmyard manure should be applied to the soil.

2. Planting

When sowing coriander, it is best to use the seed sowing method, which is simple and easy to operate. Just cover the seeds with a thin layer of fine soil, which will help the seeds absorb nutrients and water. Finally, water the soil thoroughly and wait for germination.
