How to grow coriander
1, processing seeds

The seeds need to be treated, soaked in clear water to make them fully absorb water, and then crushed into two halves.
Prepare a wet tissue, put coriander seeds on the surface of the wet tissue, spray water regularly to moisturize, put them in a warm place to promote seed germination, and then sow them in the soil until the seeds turn white.
Step 2 prepare the soil
Choose a place with plenty of sunshine and loose and breathable soil for planting. The soil should be well drained and the PH value should be kept between 6.2 and 6.8.
After soil selection, clean up the soil, dig deep to maintain the permeability of the soil, apply sufficient fertilizer to the soil, and fully mix the fertilizer into the soil.

When planting coriander, the plant spacing should be kept at 15-20cm, and the row spacing should be kept at about 0.3m m. Dig a pit in the soil and plant it with a depth of about 0.6cm. ..
Sow the seeds in into the pit, cover the seeds with thin soil, pat the soil with a shovel and pour it into the soil for the second time.
