Sowing Instructions for Indian Climate: Coriander (Dhaniya)
Best Sowing Time: Winter (October–December) is best for lush leaves. Can be grown year-round, but needs shade in Summer (March–May) to prevent bolting.
Temperature for Germination: 15-25°C.
Soil: Light, well-draining loamy soil enriched with organic compost or aged manure.
Sunlight: Prefers full sun in winter; requires partial shade during hot Indian summers.
Watering: Water moderately. Keep the soil moist but never soggy to prevent root rot.
Spacing: 2-4 inches apart; space rows 8-10 inches apart.
Germination Time: 10-21 days (Crush seeds gently into two halves before sowing to speed up the process).
