How to Plant Coriander Seeds

1. Planting time

Planting is usually done in autumn, preferably in September each year. Because coriander grown in this season has fewer diseases and looks better, it can also be planted together with cabbage.

2. Choose the variety

When choosing varieties, it is best to use small-leaf varieties, because small-leaf varieties are more cold-resistant and have a strong fragrance, suitable for eating. The seeds should be selected to be plump and fresh, which will increase the germination rate.

3. Sowing seeds

Coriander is generally planted by broadcasting, that is, the seeds are spread directly into the soil, and the soil must be kept moist. After sowing, you can cover it with a thin layer of soil or crushed straw, and it will germinate in about a week.

4. Seeding at the right time

After germination and emergence, thinning out is required. Don't thin out the seedlings too early. Wait until the seedlings are a little bigger before thinning them out. The seedlings removed at this time can be eaten directly, and they are very delicious and fresh.

5. Post-maintenance

After thinning, you can start fertilizing and maintaining the plants. You can choose nitrogen fertilizer and do it at the same time as watering. Also pay attention to timely removal of weeds.
