<p>Growing coriander at home during monsoon is simple with proper seed preparation, well-draining soil, filtered sunlight, careful watering, regular harvesting and timely pest control for healthy, fragrant leaves.</p><img><p>Lightly crush whole coriander seeds and soak them overnight before planting. This simple preparation can help encourage quicker germination and stronger early growth.</p><img><p>Use loose, nutrient-rich soil that drains excess water easily. A mix of garden soil, compost and coco peat or sand can help prevent waterlogging and root problems.</p><img><p>Place the coriander pot where it receives around four to six hours of indirect or filtered light. Excessive direct sunlight during humid weather can make the plant flower too early.</p><img><p>Rainy weather means coriander may need less additional water than usual. Keep the soil lightly moist and water only when the top layer feels dry.</p><img><p>Once the plant reaches about 3–4 inches, start trimming the outer leaves and stems. Regular harvesting encourages bushier growth while keeping the centre of the plant intact.</p><img><p>Monsoon humidity can increase the risk of fungal problems and pests such as aphids. Check plants regularly, remove affected leaves and maintain good airflow around the pots.</p>
