Coriander is a common vegetable in our life and can be planted all year round. It is also very easy to grow, so it is one of the vegetables that farmers like to plant. It is generally recommended to plant coriander in March and April of spring and September of autumn. Next, let's introduce the planting methods of coriander from the aspects of planting time, site selection and preparation, seeding and seedling raising, and field management.
1. Planting Time
Coriander is a vegetable that prefers a warm environment. Although it can be planted all year round, it is recommended to plant mainly in March and April of spring and September of autumn because the temperature warms up at this time, which can promote the growth of coriander.
2. Site Selection and Preparation
Coriander has relatively high requirements for the planting location and soil. Therefore, it is recommended to choose soil with high organic matter content, fertility, and good moisture retention and drainage when selecting planting land. The land needs to be deeply turned and cultivated, and a sufficient amount of base fertilizer should be applied to ensure the subsequent growth of coriander.
3. Seeding and Seedling Raising
Seeds need to be treated before planting. First, the outer skin of the selected seeds should be rubbed off, then the seeds are soaked in warm water for 24 hours, after which they are taken out and wrapped in a damp cloth. The damp cloth wrapped with seeds is placed in an environment of 15-20 degrees Celsius for about 7-10 days to germinate.
After germination, seeding can take place. Before seeding, the prepared land should be watered to keep the soil moist. Then, the seeds are evenly scattered in the field, covered with a layer of fine soil, and finally, a layer of plastic film is placed on top. When the seeds have germinated and grown 3-4 coriander leaves, the plastic film can be lifted.
4. Field Management
The newly planted coriander does not need to be watered. Generally, the first watering is done after the plants are established. The second watering should be 7-10 days after the first one, and then watering every 5-7 days is sufficient. If enough base fertilizer has been applied, there is no need to top-dress during the growing period of coriander. However, if the soil is found to be deficient in nutrients during the maintenance of coriander, it is necessary to top-dress with some urea and phosphorus fertilizer in a timely manner.
The above is a comprehensive explanation of how to grow coriander and the correct methods for planting coriander. I hope it can solve your problems with green plants.
