Germination Temperature: Coriander seeds germinate best at soil temperatures between 12°C and 26°C. Several sources suggest an optimal range of 15°C to 20°C for consistent germination, though seeds can still sprout slightly outside this range with reduced success.

Germination Time: Germination typically takes 7 to 20 days, depending on temperature, soil moisture, and seed quality. Most sources agree that under ideal conditions (15-20°C and consistent moisture), seeds sprout within 10-14 days.

Plant Height, Span, and Seed Sowing Depth

• Plant Height: Coriander grows to 20-70 cm (8-28 inches) tall, depending on variety and growing conditions.
• Span (Width): The plant spreads about 20-35 cm (8-14 inches) wide.
• Seed Sowing Depth: Sow seeds 0.5-1 cm (0.2-0.4 inches) deep. Some recommend up to 1.5 cm in sandy soils for better moisture retention.

Plant Spacing

• Plant Spacing: Space plants 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) apart to allow healthy leaf development and airflow.
• In containers or dense planting for microgreens, spacing can be reduced to 2-3 inches.

Row Spacing: Rows should be spaced 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) apart in garden beds to facilitate growth and harvesting.

• For Leaves: 40-60 days (about 1.5-2 months) from sowing, when plants reach 10-15 cm tall.
• For Seeds: 90-120 days (3-4 months), depending on variety and climate, as seeds need time to ripen after flowering.

Seed to Bloom Time: 60-90 days (2-3 months). Flowering occurs faster in warm conditions or if the plant bolts prematurely due to stress.

Pot Size/Container Size/Bed Size

• Pot Size: A pot at least 10-12 inches (25-30 cm) in diameter and depth is ideal to accommodate the deep taproot.
• Container Size: For multiple plants, use a container 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) wide and deep.
• Bed Size: In garden beds, allocate 1-2 square feet per plant for optimal growth.

Soil Type

• Soil Type: Coriander thrives in well-drained, loamy, or sandy loam soil rich in organic matter. It dislikes heavy clay soils that retain too much water, which can cause root rot.
• Ideal pH Level: 6.2-6.8 (slightly acidic to neutral). Some sources extend this range to 6.0-7.5, but 6.2-6.8 is widely recommended for best nutrient uptake.

Daily Sunlight Requirement

• Daily Sunlight: 4-6 hours of direct sunlight is ideal for growth, though it tolerates partial shade (especially in hot climates).
• Light for Germination: Coriander is a dark germinator, meaning seeds do not require light to sprout and should be covered with soil. Bright, indirect light aids seedling growth post-germination.

Water Requirement

• Seedlings (up to 10 cm): 0.1-0.2 liters per plant every 2-3 days to keep soil moist during germination and early growth.
• Mature Plants (10-70 cm): 0.3-0.5 liters per plant every 3-5 days, depending on climate and soil drainage. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
• Adjust based on rainfall and soil moisture; the soil should remain evenly moist but not waterlogged.

Nutrients Essential for Healthy Growth

• Nitrogen (N): 0.5-1% of soil content for leafy growth.
• Phosphorus (P): 0.2-0.5% for root and seed development.
• Potassium (K): 0.5-0.8% for overall vigor and disease resistance.
• Organic Fertilizers:
  • Compost: Rich in N, P, and K (varies by composition).
  • Vermicompost: High in N (1-2%) and micronutrients.
  • Cow Manure: Balanced NPK (approx. 0.5-0.3-0.5%).
  • Neem Cake: Provides N (2-5%) and pest-repellent properties.

Organic Fertilizer Application

• For a 12-inch pot:
  • Compost: 100-150 g at planting, then 50 g every 30 days.
  • Vermicompost: 50-75 g at planting, then 25 g every 30 days.
  • Cow Manure: 100 g at planting, then 50 g every 45 days.
  • Neem Cake: 20-30 g at planting, then 10 g every 60 days.
• Mix into the topsoil and water well after application.

Companion Plants

• Good Companions: Spinach, cabbage, cucumbers, peas (repels pests like aphids and attracts beneficial insects like hoverflies).
• Avoid: Fennel, dill (compete for nutrients and may cross-pollinate).

Leaf Taste: Leaves (cilantro) offer a fresh, peppery, slightly bitter taste with a pungent aroma. Rated 6/10 (varies widely due to genetic taste perception—some find it soapy).

Pest Types, Chemical, and Organic Control

• Pests:
  • Aphids: Small sap-sucking insects.
    • Chemical: Imidacloprid (6 ml/10 L water).
    • Organic: Neem oil spray (5 ml/L water) or ladybug introduction.
  • Slugs/Snails: Eat young seedlings.
    • Chemical: Metaldehyde pellets.
    • Organic: Crushed eggshells or beer traps.
• Apply treatments weekly until pests are controlled.

Disease Types, Chemical, and Organic Cure

• Diseases:
  • Powdery Mildew: White patches on leaves.
    • Chemical: Propiconazole (200 ml/acre in 200 L water).
    • Organic: Sulfur spray (20 g/10 L water).
  • Root Rot: Wilting due to soggy soil.
    • Chemical: Carbendazim (5 g/L water drench).
    • Organic: Improve drainage, apply Trichoderma (4 g/kg seed).
• Treat at first signs and repeat every 10-14 days if needed..
