Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Indian coriander, also known as cilantro or dhaniya is relatively easy to grow, and with the right conditions, it can produce a bountiful harvest. It grows best in cooler conditions and can tolerate light frost. Plant in full sun to partial shade.
When to Grow
Indian coriander grows best in cooler temperatures and is best planted in early spring, 3-4 weeks before the last frost. In regions with mild winters, it can also be planted later. The ideal temperature range for coriander growth is between 60-80 F. Be careful with the heat of summer, as the plant tends to bolt, meaning it will quickly flower and produce seeds, leading to a decline in leaf production.
How to Sow and Plant
Sow Indian coriander seeds directly into well-draining soil about 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep. Space the seeds approximately 4-6 inches apart to allow ample room for growth. It's important to keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period, which typically takes 7-10 days. Succession-sow for a consistent supply.
How to Grow
Coriander grows best in full sun but can benefit from some afternoon shade in hotter climates to prevent bolting. It prefers well-draining, loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (around 6.2-6.8). Regular watering is very important, especially during dry spells, but avoid waterlogging the soil. Mulching around the base of the plant helps retain moisture and keep the roots cool.
How to Save
Plants will readily self-seed in the garden. It is very easy to save seeds of cilantro as the plants so easily go to seed. Simply allow seeds to dry on the plant, shake the seeds loose, and store them in a cool, dry, dark location. The seeds, often called coriander, are also used in cooking.
FAQ
Can Indian coriander be grown indoors?
Yes, it can be grown indoors in pots. Place the pots in a sunny location or use grow lights to provide sufficient light. Ensure the pots have good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
How often should I water Indian coriander?
Water often to keep the soil moist, especially during the germination period and dry weather. However, avoid overwatering as this can lead to root rot.
How do I prevent my Indian coriander from bolting?
Plant in cooler weather, provide some shade during hot periods and keep the soil consistently moist. Regularly harvesting the leaves can also help delay bolting.
