i have had this problem with corrinader as well. Apparently they like poor soil which is well drained. I planted a load in a big wooden box that i made which was filled with pure potting compost.
They came up really well to about 3 inches high with lots of bushy leaf growth and then just withered dont know why. Now i have dug a round patch on my lawn and planted some there, in full sun exposure and there are really bushy, lush growth, and really scented. i put them out last year, used them up and they went thru winter with the frost and snow and this year they are still growing. that has never happned to my corrinander before but they are still growing. I try not to let them go to seed, so keep using/pinching the leaves once they get too high |

Prune coriander for more leaves?
Frogleg
Thank you for your observation on bunches. The roots are certainly substantial on the coriander from Indian grocers. I'll experiment, by planting about six seeds close together and hope it somehow increases the total yield. Dommy Thank you for your suggestions, too. I'll try pinching out the coriander before it goes to seed. I'll also try using a mini-greenhouse, so I can raise the temperature and experiment with different soil types, like your box idea. If I have any success, I'll report back in due course. Regards George |
