Trim, rinse, and dry coriander leaves properly. Then you chopped them, took a glass jar with cool water, and put chopped leaves in the refrigerator door.

Just sprinkle them on the ground and then you will see seedlings in a week. Coriander plant, like most herbs , is fairly undemanding. Water young coriander seedlings frequently to keep the soil evenly moist. As the plants become established, they produce best with slightly dry conditions.

After 7 days or less, under the soil, the cilantro must have a white sprout coming out of the seed. You can check by gently uncovering the soil with fingers and exposing the seed.

Scatter seeds on the surface of the compost, watering well. In a pot of 25cm diameter, you can sow approximately 5 seeds per pot. Sow seeds to 6 to 8 inches apart in rows spaced about 1 foot apart.
Then, provide plenty of moisture and feed plants with a water-soluble fertilizer when they reach about 2 inches in height. As soon as seeds start germinating, ensure they get a good amount of sunlight. They will start growing vigorously. Water them thoroughly, particularly when they are thickly sown.

Water the seeds in dry periods and ensure the soil never dries out. If flowers develop remove them immediately this ensures the plants focus their energy on growing new plant leaves.

Is coriander seed safe to use after the "expiration" date on the package? Yes, provided it is properly stored and the package is undamaged - commercially packaged coriander seed will typically carry a "Best By," "Best if Used By," "Best Before," or "Best When Used By" date but this is not a safety date, it is the manufacturer's estimate of how long the coriander seed will remain at peak quality. Does coriander seed ever spoil?
