How to grow Coriander at home  

Growing Coriander (cilantro) at home is simple. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Choose a location: Coriander grows well in pots, balconies, or garden beds. So plant it where it can get 4-6 hours of sunlight.

Prepare the soil: Use well-drained, loamy soil to grow it, and add compost to it to make it rich in nutrients. Keep its pH at 6.2-6.8.

Get the seeds: You can use coriander seeds from the store or whole coriander seeds from your kitchen.

Sow the seeds: Sprinkle the seeds evenly on the soil and cover them with a thin layer of soil.

Water the soil: Water lightly to moisten the soil but do not let it get waterlogged.

Maintain the environment: Place the pot or bed in a partially sunny place in very hot weather, as coriander does not thrive in extreme heat. Keep the soil moist during germination (it takes 7-10 days).

Thin the Seedlings: When the seedlings are about 2-3 inches tall, thin them so that they can grow properly. Maintain a distance of about 3-4 inches between the plants.

Care and Maintenance: Water the plants every 2-3 days or when the soil feels dry and use organic liquid fertilizer every 2-3 weeks. Keep removing weeds around it.

Harvesting: When the plants are about 4-6 inches tall, the leaves can be cut and used.
