Coriander is a common seasoned vegetable that is loved by people for its unique aroma. In addition to buying coriander at the market, we can also try growing coriander in our own pots. The following is the correct way to grow coriander in pots.
1. Prepare seeds and pots.
Choose healthy, plump coriander seeds and make sure they haven't been damp or frozen. The size of the flower pot should be moderate, not too large or too small, and it is generally more appropriate to choose a flower pot with a diameter of about 20 cm. Put some drainage materials such as broken tiles or vermiculite at the bottom of the pot to make it easier to drain the water.
2. Soil and fertilizer.
Choose fertile, loose, well-drained soil, which can be purchased at flower markets or agricultural supply stores. Before planting, an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer, such as well-rotted chicken manure, sheep manure, etc., can be added to the soil to increase the fertility of the soil.
3. Planting. Fill the pot with soil, dig a small hole in the surface of the soil with your fingers, and place coriander seeds in the holes, placing 2-3 seeds in each hole. Gently cover the soil over the seeds and compact them by hand. Then water thoroughly and place in a well-ventilated, semi-shaded place.
Before the coriander seedlings emerge, keep the soil moist and avoid being too dry or too wet. After the emergence of seedlings, the amount of watering can be appropriately reduced, but the soil should be kept moist. During the growing period, an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer can be applied to promote the growth of coriander. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the prevention and control of pests and diseases, and once signs of pests and diseases are found, measures should be taken to prevent and control them in time.
5. Harvesting. When the parsley grows to a height of 10-15 cm, it is ready to be harvested. Use scissors to cut the cilantro off, leaving the roots so that it can continue to grow. When harvesting, handle with care to avoid damaging the leaves and stems of coriander. After harvesting, it should be cleaned in time to remove soil and impurities, and then it can be used to cook.
In short, the method of growing coriander in pots is relatively simple, and you only need to master the planting skills and daily management precautions, so that you can easily grow healthy and delicious coriander at home. Not only can you meet your own needs, but you can also give the extra coriander to your relatives and friends to share the fruits of your labor.
