This article provides detailed information on the best months for planting coriander and the experience of maintaining green plants during the optimal planting time and methods, and will introduce them to you.
Coriander is a common vegetable in our lives and can be planted throughout the year. It is also very easy to grow, making it one of the vegetables favored by farmers. It is generally recommended to plant coriander in March and April of spring and September of autumn. The following introduces the planting methods of coriander from aspects such as planting time, land 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 throughout the year, 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. Land 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, good moisture retention, and drainage when selecting planting land. During land preparation, it is necessary to deeply turn and cultivate the soil and apply a sufficient amount of base fertilizer to ensure the subsequent growth of coriander.
3. Seeding and Seedling Raising
Seeds need to be treated before planting. First, remove the outer skin of the selected seeds, then soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours, take them out, wrap them in a damp cloth, and place the damp cloth with the seeds in an environment of 15-20 degrees Celsius for about 7-10 days to germinate.
After germination, you can proceed with sowing. Before sowing, water the prepared land to keep the soil moist. Then evenly sprinkle the seeds in the field, cover them with a layer of fine soil, and finally cover them with a layer of plastic film. The plastic film can be lifted when the seeds have germinated and grown 3-4 coriander leaves.
4. Field Management
There is no need to water the newly planted coriander. Generally, the first watering is done after the plants have been established. The second watering should be about 7-10 days after the first, and then water every 5-7 days. If enough base fertilizer has been applied, there is no need to top-dress during the growing period of coriander. However, if it is found that the soil lacks 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 specific introduction to the best months for planting coriander, the best planting time, and methods. It is hoped to bring some knowledge of flowers to green plant enthusiasts.
