How to grow coriander seeds? Detailed planting methods and steps

The best time to plant coriander seeds is generally in spring and autumn; in the south, they can be sown all year round. When the temperature is too high, the seeds need to be soaked for 24 hours and then germinated at 20~25°C. Gently crack the coriander seeds, soak them in 40-degree warm water for 6 hours, pour the prepared soil into a container, and water thoroughly for later use. Sprinkle the seeds on the soil, cover with a thin layer of soil about 1 cm thick, and water morning and evening. In about a month, small tender seedlings will grow.

The best planting period is September to October; spring sowing also works (can be planted all year round in the south)

When sowing in high summer temperatures, the seeds need to be soaked and then germinated at 20~25 degrees, otherwise it is very difficult for them to sprout

Step 1: Gently crack the coriander seeds (to help them sprout)

Step 2: Soak in warm water at about 40 degrees for 6 hours (warm water germination, to wake them up) (in summer and autumn, soak in room-temperature water for 4 hours)

Step 3: Prepare the planting soil, and water it thoroughly first

Step 4: Spread the seeds apart on the soil, and gently cover with a thin layer of soil (0.5 cm thick) just enough to cover the seeds (spacing is arbitrary)

Step 5: When the bed surface looks dry, press it down once to preserve moisture. If the weather is dry and the soil moisture is poor, irrigate once more with a small amount of water. If it rains after sowing, loosen the soil shallowly in time and water once with a small amount of water to help the seedlings emerge. Use 2—3 kg of seed per mu.

In seven or eight days, they sprout and grow true leaves, and in about forty days they are ready to eat
