Key Questions Answered
According to gardening expert Lalit, fresh green coriander can be ready for harvesting in about 20 to 22 days when proper soil preparation, sowing techniques, and watering methods are followed.
Whole coriander seeds kept as kitchen spice should be split into two halves by pressing them gently with a light object or rubbing them with your hands, and then soaked in mild water for a short while before sowing.
You should never pour water into the pot with a strong stream because it can disturb the soil and displace the seeds. Instead, it is recommended to use a watering can or a spray bottle to provide just enough water to keep the soil moist without water stagnation.
