The fresh herb – which is extensively used in Indian preparations – is packed with nutritional value, while also being extremely flavoursome. Cultivate fresh coriander in your kitchen garden to use in chutneys, as garnish or even as a fragrant topping on soups or salads.
Coriander thrives in a location that receives plenty of indirect sunlight near a window where it can benefit for at least 4-5 hours a day.
Coriander prefers well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter; choose a container that has drainage holes to prevent water-logging, which can lead to root rot.
Water your coriander plants whenever the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch and avoid watering excessively.
Good air circulation is essential for preventing fungal diseases by ensuring that your indoor growing space is well-ventilated.
Regular harvesting encourages bushier growth and prevents the plant from producing flowers and seeds prematurely.
