Coriander (also known as Dhania) is a flavorful herb that is easy to grow at home in a container. 

Step 1: Choose the Right Container

Use a wide and shallow container (at least 6–8 inches deep). Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

Step 2: Select Quality Seeds

Choose whole coriander seeds (not split or ground). To improve germination, lightly crush the seeds before sowing.

Step 3: Prepare the Potting Mix

Use well-draining soil with a mix of Garden soil and Compost manure (for nutrients)

Step 4: Sow the Seeds

Spread the seeds evenly across the soil surface. Gently press them into the soil and Cover lightly with a thin layer of soil.

Step 5: Provide the Right Growing Conditions

Sunlight: provide 4–6 hours of sunlight. Temperature: Ideal temperature for germination is 18–25°C (65–77°F). Moisture: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy.

Step 6: Watering

Water lightly every day or when the top soil feels dry, Avoid overwatering.

Step 7: Thinning and Maintenance

Once seedlings grow 2–3 inches tall, thin them out by removing weaker plants.

Step 8: Fertilization

Every 2 weeks, apply organic compost, cow dung manure, or liquid fertilizer. Avoid heavy fertilizers, as coriander prefers moderate feeding.

Step 9: Harvesting Coriander

After 3–4 weeks, trim outer leaves when they are 4–6 inches long.
