Coriander Dhania Seeds (Kalmi)

Sow Mali's Coriander Dhania seeds about 1 cm deep in well-drained soil and firm the surface gently. This shallow depth suits coriander's germination needs — too deep can slow sprouting further, and seeds already take 7-14 days to come up, often unevenly, so shallow, even sowing gives the best start.

Uneven, slow germination is normal for coriander — it typically takes 7-14 days and often comes up in a patchy first week rather than all at once. Keep the soil evenly moist, not dry, during this period and resist judging it a failure too early; stragglers often follow the first sprouts within a few more days.

Coriander dhania grows best with 4-6 hours of full sun daily. Because it bolts quickly in heat, giving it a bit of shade during the hottest part of the day, rather than the harshest midday sun, helps keep leaf production going longer before the plant runs to seed.

Keep the soil evenly moist rather than letting it dry out between waterings. Coriander dhania is sensitive to drying spells, especially while seeds are germinating, so check the pot regularly and water enough to keep moisture consistent through to harvest around 40-50 days.

Thin coriander seedlings to 15-20 cm apart once they're established. This spacing gives each plant room to bush out before you start harvesting, and it works well in a medium container, where a few plants fit comfortably without crowding each other.

Coriander dhania leaves are ready to harvest from about 40-50 days after sowing. That's roughly 6-7 weeks from seed to first snip, which is quick for a herb used this often in Indian cooking — a tray by the door keeps garnish within easy reach.

No, coriander grows low and bushy and needs no staking or support structure. It's a straightforward container herb — just sow, water, and give it a few hours of sun, with nothing to tie up as it grows toward harvest.

Yes, coriander suits container growing well. With 15-20 cm spacing per plant and only 4-6 hours of sun required daily, a medium pot can hold several plants, and no staking is needed, making it a practical kitchen-garden herb for a balcony rail or doorside tray.

Coriander bolts, or runs to seed, fast in heat, which slows new leaf growth. Giving the plant some shade during the hottest part of the day, alongside its usual 4-6 hours of sun, helps extend the leaf-producing stage before it bolts and stops leafing out.

Each pack contains 15 g of 100% organic, non-GMO coriander dhania (Kalmi) seeds bred for high germination. That's enough to sow a tray or multiple containers, with seeds sown 1 cm deep and spaced 15-20 cm apart as seedlings establish.
