Hive Garden: Growing coriander on the balcony of my apartment
Hello friends, today I want to show you that if you can have some crops in our house, even in an apartment no matter how small, we just need a few pots and have a small sunny place, like the balcony, well friends, I already story a month ago I planted some coriander seeds in some pots and they have grown very well despite the fact that there are many and the pot is narrow, so if we don't have a garden at home, it doesn't matter, we can plant some edible plants in pots, It is important that these plants are short, such as cilantro, basil, chives, mint and parsley, among others.
Growing coriander on the balcony of my apartment
Yes friends, a month ago I decided to sow some coriander seeds in some pots, because on the farm I have not been able to start sowing coriander because the rains have been too strong, but since I had some seeds left over from last year, I decided to plant some in some pots to see if they could still germinate, because over time the seeds lose their germination power.
I tell you that after 11 days the seeds began to germinate, I thought that due to the high population density they were not going to grow much because they were going to compete for nutrients, but it was not like that, look at that in a month they have reached 15 cm of height, well friends, there is also something important and that is that the substrate is very good because it is composted.
Coriander seeds:
I got these seeds from my own plants, and I have had them saved since last year, so I had doubts that they could germinate, but the good thing was that almost 100% germinated.
Adding the substrate in the pot:
Yes friends, the substrate is important for plants to grow healthy and vigorous, this fertilizer is composting, which I prepared.

So, if you do not have a garden in your house, but at least you have a balcony, I recommend that you prepare your pots and grow coriander, in this way you will have this exquisite condiment near your kitchen, greetings and until another chance

Que buena idea la de aprovechar los espacios disponibles para la siembra en casa. Hermosas plantas.
Si, lo bueno del cilantro es que es una planta de porte bajo que fácilmente se puede tener en el balcón o en el pasillo, lo importante es haya luz solar.
They are beautiful and abundant.
I have planted the roots that one buys in the market and they have not given me any.
However, I have cirule which is like a chive and culantro, both are aromatic plants, good for food.
I hope you continue to harvest lots of parsley, I love it in my meals.
Greetings and blessings @oscarcede
Well friend, I will tell you that coriander grows best through its seeds, because the transplant affects it a lot, because it is a short-cycle plant, so the best thing is to buy the seeds and in 30 days you can harvest them, greetings.
It's good to remember that. You know that when I was in high school, we made seedbeds with some seeds that we bought and they grew very well.
Coriander is best grown from seed I find, and try not to let the soil dry out. It's one of my favourite herbs!
If so, friend, this plant does not tolerate transplanting, the best thing is through its seeds, generally the seeds germinate between 8 and 10 days, on my farm I grow them on beds 20 meters long, the good thing about this crop is that it is a short cycle, after 30 days you can start harvesting, but before 50 days, because from there the flowering begins, greetings, it is a pleasure to greet you.
