How to grow Coriander Leaves in home?
Here are some directions for you. This is an excerpt for just the basic instructions, but I'm also providing you with several links about problems growing coriander, and some tips. Hope it helps.



1. Choose a site that gets full sun. Like most herbs, coriander isn't fussy about pH, but it needs soil that's well-drained and amended with plenty of compost.



2. Plant coriander where you want it to grow; it quickly develops a deep taproot that doesn't respond well to transplanting.



3. Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep after all danger of frost has passed. When plants emerge, thin them to 4 inches apart and mulch to conserve moisture and deter weeds. Keep a close eye on young plants to make sure they don't dry out, but once established, coriander (Mediterranean native that it is) needs little water.



4. Ensure a steady supply of leaves by sowing succession crops every three weeks until late summer.



5. Harvest entire plants when they're about 6 inches high if you want only the leaves.



6. Wait until the seeds start to ripen, in late summer or early autumn, if they're your prime target. Cut plants off at the base and hang them upside down in paper bags to finish drying.
Reply:Coriander is a little different than other herbs. When you use the leaves the plant is called cilantro. Coriander is the seed. This plant sends out a deep tap root, so I don't think you can grow it in the house unless you have a very huge pot. I don't know how much cilantro you want to grow, but if you want the use of the seeds; it really should be planted outside. That way, you can have several plants so there will be plenty of seeds. Hope this helps.
Reply:Check whether the seeds are whole and of the quality that would germinate. Soak them in water for a day and sow them with a thin layer of soil above..see that it is not burried deep inside the soil.
