💧 Watering
Even moisture; dry spells trigger instant bolting.
☀️ Sunlight
Morning sun and afternoon shade stretches your harvest window by weeks.
🪨 Soil & setup
Deep pot (20 cm+) — coriander has a taproot and hates transplanting. Always sow direct.
🧺 Harvest
Cut whole stems at 5 cm above soil from day 35; you'll get 2–3 regrowths.
🧓 Grandmother's notes
- ◆Sow every 3 weeks October–January; each sowing is short-lived by design.
- ◆Crush the round seed husks gently before sowing — each husk holds two seeds.
- ◆If it bolts, let it seed and you've grown your own coriander seed spice.
