You must also ensure that the pot has proper holes at the bottom for easy water drainage.<img>You need to prepare a potting mix with 40 percent regular soil, 30 percent cocopeat, and 30 percent vermicompost. Loose soil always helps the roots spread faster inside the pot.<img>You must sprinkle the split seeds evenly over the prepared soil. You should then cover the seeds with just half an inch of thin soil or cocopeat. You must never push the seeds too deep into the pot.<img>You should never pour water forcefully using a mug or a pipe.

Harsh afternoon sun easily dries up the tender leaves. The seeds will sprout in 7 to 8 days, and your lush green coriander will be ready for cooking in 15 to 20 days!
