growing coriander

cdestlaurent — 2015-04-22 02:28:44 UTC

coriander is best growing in cooler months of the year,During autumn, winter and spring, however, coriander stays nicely leafy for a number of months.

IDEAL CONDITIONS:coriander likes a sunny spot, well-drained soil and a steady supply of both water and fertiliser. It grows equally well in pots or in garden beds. If using pots, use top quality potting mix and sit the pots up on pot feet, so water drains away after each watering.

cultivation

I got given my herb and it was very tiny and I didn't even know what it was so I just kept it in the sun and in the shade sometimes and also kept watering the herb. The next day I saw my herb it had grown taller and grown into the shape of a matured coriander leaf, I knew my herb was still growing because it didn't look dead nor looked unhealthy. On day 22 it had grown about 3 more cm which was a great progress and started developing more matured coriander leaves. Day 27 it had grown even more leaves and after watering my herb it was looking a lot healthier, I also realised that my coriander grew 4cm
