Winter Coriander Planting Methods and Time

Winter Coriander Planting Methods and Time

Coriander, also known as "cilantro", can be eaten at every meal for those who like it, but those who don't like it may feel uncomfortable with its smell. The price of coriander is relatively high, so many people want to grow coriander in their own yard or balcony so that they can eat it at any time. Let’s learn how and when to plant coriander in winter.

1. Planting time

The best time to plant cilantro varies by region. Generally speaking, April and September each year are the peak seasons for coriander cultivation in many regions. In some areas of the South, cilantro can be grown almost year-round.

Coriander is very tolerant and can withstand both heat and cold, so it can be grown in both summer and winter. In the north, crops are usually sown in August and September and harvested in October, while in the Huanghuai and Haihe regions, the main sowing times are around Qingming Festival and around the Autumnal Equinox. In the southern region, it can be planted all year round, with a growing period of 40-60 days. Therefore, the specific sowing time should be selected according to local climatic conditions.

2. Plot selection

First, when preparing the planting site, make sure the land is level and avoid potholes. The same applies to balcony planting. After land preparation, pay attention to the moisture of the soil. If the soil is particularly dry, it is recommended to water it in advance, which will help sowing and promote germination of coriander. At the same time, base fertilizer can be applied before land preparation, and the best effect is achieved by using well-rotted farmyard manure.

3. Seed treatment

After soil preparation is complete, process the coriander seeds . Coriander seeds sold on the market can generally be sown directly, but if they are self-reserved seeds, it is recommended to soak them before sowing to promote germination and increase the germination rate. The seeds can be soaked in warm water at about 25°C for 24 hours, and the time can be adjusted flexibly.

4. Sowing method

After the seeds are processed, start sowing. Common sowing methods include broadcast sowing and furrow sowing. When sowing, spread the seeds evenly on the prepared land, and then cover them with a thin layer of soil with moderate thickness to facilitate germination. Furrow sowing is to draw furrows in the soil and sow the seeds evenly into the furrows. The recommended depth is 2-3 cm. Cover the soil and gently tamp it down.

5. Field management

After sowing, attention should be paid to water management. If the soil is dry, watering is recommended to promote emergence, but avoid waterlogging. For dry areas, water for several days in a row.

After the coriander seedlings emerge, thin them out according to the emergence situation and pull out the excess seedlings in dense areas to reduce the density and promote growth. Management after emergence is relatively simple. If there are weeds in the field, manual weeding is recommended to avoid the use of herbicides . The use of insecticides and fungicides should be based on the occurrence of pests and diseases. Normally, I rarely use these agents when growing cilantro at home, I just water it and wait for the harvest.

That’s it
