How to cultivate cilantro

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Coriander prefers a warm growing environment. Generally, the temperature needs to be kept between 22 and 28 degrees during the growth period. The temperature cannot be too high, especially for hydroponic coriander. If the temperature is too high, it will easily rot. At the same time, the temperature cannot be too low, otherwise you will get frostbite, so you need to keep warm in winter.

2. Watering: Coriander can be planted in soil with good air permeability or hydroponically. Therefore, the water requirements are relatively high. During the growth period, it needs to be watered every two to three days. In the hot summer weather, it is necessary to change the water about every seven days to avoid bacteria breeding and rotting due to high temperature.

3. Light: Coriander prefers semi-shaded places. Strong light must be reduced during the growth period, and it needs to be shaded in summer. Of course, normal growth still requires gentle light, so that it can carry out photosynthesis and make the color more beautiful.

4. Fertilization: Coriander is a fertilizer-loving plant. Fertilizer-rich soil can make it grow stronger and also allow it to have more branches. It needs to be fertilized about every two weeks during the growth period.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: Sowing and cutting are two important methods of reproduction. Both methods can be carried out from March to May every year. Sowing is relatively simple and crude. Just put the seeds in water and wait for germination. If taking cuttings, choose strong branches and leaves and replant them.

2. Pruning: Coriander generally does not require any pruning. Because it is most ornamental when it grows freely, but if it is grown hydroponically, some branches and leaves may turn yellow and wither, and then they need to be pruned.
