In soil mixture we have to use coco peat + vermi-compost + soil for best result.

Winter season is best season to grow coriander as they can be kept in full day of sunlight, a;so coriander will grow best in winter season as temperature will also help them to grow.
Harvesting period
Harvesting can be done after attaining the minimum height of 4 inches or more, and a coriander plant can be harvest up-to 2 times after that they cannot be harvested, and also the requirement of fertilizers is very important as they lots of nutrients from soil so always add vermi-compost or any other manure after every 10 to 15 days.
