Packaging: We work with the best German, Spanish, Dutch and Chilean seed suppliers, which allows us to offer you Coriander seeds harvested and packaged in 2024, guaranteeing their freshness and a high percentage of germination.
Crop duration: Cilantro is a fast-growing annual plant, and the leaves can be harvested approximately 3 to 4 weeks after sowing. Seeds develop between 45 and 70 days after sowing.
Special Features: Cilantro not only offers fresh leaves for use in sauces, salads, and stews, but its seeds, known as coriander, are a popular spice in cooking. The plant is also valued for its medicinal properties and its ability to attract pollinators to the garden.
Lighting: Prefers full sun, although it can also tolerate partial shade. Make sure Cilantro receives at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for vigorous growth.
Watering: Keep the soil constantly moist, but well drained. Regular watering is essential to prevent the leaves from turning bitter and to keep the plant in its best condition.
Pests: Cilantro can be susceptible to pests such as aphids and thrips. It is recommended to use environmentally friendly products such as potassium soap and neem oil for pest control.
Cold resistance: Cilantro is moderately resistant to cold and can withstand light frosts, although it is recommended to protect it in case of extreme temperatures.
Substrate: A well-drained substrate rich in organic matter is recommended. A mixture of compost and potting soil is ideal for growing Coriander.
Harvest: For a continuous harvest, cut off the outer leaves first, allowing the plant to continue growing and producing. Coriander seeds can be harvested once the flowers have dried and the seeds have matured.
Shipping: All shipments are made through Bluespress. Check out our growing manuals on our website: www.arcademendel.com .
