Plant coriander in spring after the last frost date or during fall. Do not grow in the summer heat as the plant will dry off. When the weather becomes warm, the plant will rapidly complete its life cycle and send up a long stem which will bring forth blossoms.Plant the seeds in light, well-drained soil and space them 1 to 2 inches apart. Sow the seeds at 3-week intervals for continued harvest.Space rows about 12 inches asunder.It is important to keep seeds moist during their germination.WATERINGWater the seedlings regularly throughout the growing season. They require about 1 litre of water per week for best growth.SOIL Coriander prefers a loamy soil with an optimum pH range of 6 to 8.SPOTRequires full exposure to the sun. Choose a spot where it receives early morning or late afternoon sun, but be shaded during the hottest part of the day.TEMPERATURE Cilantro grows best in temperature that is around 24 C (75 F). The ideal cilantro growing conditions are cool but sunny.
