Size:125g Coriander, known as dhania in India and Cilantro in the West, is used every day in Indian cuisine. Either the seeds or the green leaves spice up our food. This makes Coriander a must grow for every kitchen garden. The reason it is an ideal candidate is it is very easy to grow, grows fast and early yields Cilantro can be a hard to grow from seed as the setting must be just right to create seed germination. Cilantro seeds can easily catch mould/fungal diseases and make any chances of sprouting impossible. Cilantro seeds can be grown indoors, in a pot, next to other plants for faster germination - Fill your container, pot, etc. with soil. - Pick out any cracked or irregular cilantro seeds - Gently push the seeds into the dirt and cover the seeds with a layer of dirt. - Keep the soil moist and expect to see seed germination around 7 days after planting - Within 5-7 days, under the soil the cilantro should have a white sprout coming out of the seed. You can check by gently uncovering the soil with your fingers and exposing the seed. - After a further 2-3 days, you should see a green sprout pushing through the soil. A green sprout should be visibly coming out of the seed. - The soil should always be wet but allow the soil to dry out before watering. This will help keep mould and diseases away from the seedling. - The seedling should have full sun for a few hours. The seedling should not have more than 4/5 hours of full sunlight or it can wilt and die. - Cilantro seedlings can be grown together - about 1/2 inch apart. - If plants are growing slower than usual, aphids could be the cause. Tips Grow cilantro near plants like basil, herbs, garlic, onions to keep aphids away Cilantro seeds will only germinate if the soil is always moist If some of the cilantro seeds do not sprout, don't worry if you leave them in the dirt they will eventually sprout on their own
