Coriander Coriandrum Sativum

Cilantro (Coriandrum sativum) is an annual herb from the Umblefla family. Every part of the plant (seeds, fresh leaves) is used as a condiment, flavoring, or medicinal ingredient. It is very important in Indian, South American, and European cuisine. The plant grows to a height of 40 to 70 cm.

General Tips for Growing Cilantro:

• Prefers soils that are medium-textured and well-drained.
• It does not thrive in waterlogged soils.
• It is quite resistant to cold but grows better in mild conditions.
• Easy to cultivate; can be sown in gardens or pots.
• Plant the seeds in rows, spaced 30 cm apart, at a depth of 1 cm.

Cilantro does not usually encounter excessive phytosanitary problems, although aphids may occur and fungal issues can arise under excessive moisture.
