Sow the seeds approximately ½ inch deep in loose, fertile soil. Avoid sowing them too deeply.

Germination:

Spacing:
Maintain approximately 4–6 inches spacing between plants for leafy coriander and good airflow.

Mix well-rotted compost or organic manure into the soil before sowing. A mild organic fertilizer can be applied during active growth.
