Been unsucessful with trying to keep corinder plants alive in my house. We have basil, that is doing fine, but I’ve managd to terminate two coriander plants in the last month. What am I doing wrong?
We live on the third floor, near the beach and keep the plant in the kitchen ( we are considerably warmer than the flats beneath us). The instructions are quite simple - “Water and keep in full sunlight” but the plants just don’t survive. I wonder if the kitchen is too hot for the plant, or am I watering it too much - (once a day until the water comes out into the saucer)? It is warm here - up to about 30 degrees in the daytime, and dry due to the drought.
I moved it out of direct sunlight because it started to wilt and go yellow - poor thing! My fiancee read that placing egg shell on the soil helps it to grow. Perhaps we are taking too much to use for cooking?
Too much water. Take a look at the roots. If they are rotting, then they are drowning. Maybe it needs a little fertilizer. Find something organic because you will be eating it.
Store bought plants don’t usually have very good soil. consider repotting with some nice composted soil.
