In fact, coriander is very good to grow. If you sow some seeds in the flowerpot at home, you can grow a pot. Moreover, the management is convenient and simple, and the growth rate is fast. If you grow and eat at home, you no longer have to buy expensive cilantro.

The habit of parsley is cold, not heat-resistant, the suitable temperature for growth is about 20 ℃, the suitable temperature can be planted all the year round, the summer planting temperature is too high, its growth rate is slower, but now the Beginning of Autumn, it is still quite suitable for planting.

We can sow and reproduce with coriander seeds directly. Before sowing, we should pay attention to the small coriander seeds. When you buy them back, rub the seeds in the palm of your hand and soak them in water for 6-8 hours before sowing. This can greatly shorten its emergence time, so that we can eat our own coriander earlier, maintain temperature and humidity, and emerge in 10-15 days.

Coriander is not strict on soil, but the sandy soil with loose, strong fertilizer and water retention and high content of organic matter is better. It is not strict with light, and needs proper shade when the sun is too strong. If the temperature is too high, it can be maintained in a cool place with astigmatism.

But in order to eat potted coriander as soon as possible, we can also use coriander root to plant. Coriander bought in the market is best with muddy roots, cut 6cm or so from the bottom up, planted in rich and breathable soil, watered once, and protected from light. When new leaves grow after 3-4 days, they can be moved to the sun for maintenance.

In the peak growth period of coriander, watering can be watered frequently, not with heavy water, just keep the soil surface moist, but the overall principle is not stagnant water, otherwise it is prone to root rot. If you want it to grow fast, you can add a little quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer when watering. It only takes about 2 weeks to pick fresh parsley to eat.

One good thing about potted parsley is that it can be picked continuously. It can be harvested one after another from seedling to bud, and it can be picked if it is planted at home. Several pots are enough for the whole family to eat.
