Key Questions Answered
To grow mint, buy good stems from the market and place them in water until roots emerge. Afterward, plant them in loose, well-draining soil in a pot that receives moderate sunlight, keeping the soil moist without water accumulation.
Choose good quality coriander seeds, gently crush them to split into two halves, and sow them about half an inch deep in the soil. Keep the soil moist, ensure the plant gets a few hours of daily sunlight, and watch germination begin in just a few days.
Save the white root end when buying green onions from the market and place them in a container of water with the roots submerged. Once new green shoots emerge after a few days, you can plant them in a pot with soil, ensuring adequate light and moisture.
