we got a corriander herb in a pot in tescos last week. and put it on

a south
facing kitchen window inside. its gone all droopy. yes we have

watered it.
any advice on the conditions it likes please?


As someone else said, repot it. But if you are in the northern
hemisphere then expect it to die rapidly as you are trying to grow it
out of season. Coriander is one of the most difficult plants to grow
even in the right season and even when it's growing strongly it
promptly runs to seed and that's the end of it. It needs to be
succession sown and in the right season. Now Laksa plant is a very
different matter - it copes well with frost and cold once established.


I am interested! Having struggled to grow corriander, always with very
limited success.
Does Laksa taste similar ? And has anyone here experience of growing
it in the British Isles?
