I am a great coriander fan and my wife is Thai so you can imagine it gets plenty of use. I have been trying to grow from seed while she is away .. I have tried direct sowing in the garden without success had some success with seed brought direct from farm in Thailand (seedlings had small bluish tip when germinating in potting mix, some transplants worked. Currently trying to grow from seed harvested both locally and from the imported plants. Used potting mix in pots this time but nothing showing after 3 weeks , very hot weather , kept up water and used all purpose bead fertiliser in modest quantities. Any and all advice appreciated . Location Tweed heads.
