I find this tricky. I grow it indoors and it takes off lovely and then just gets sick and yellow and dies.

I tried loads of times and i think im doing something wrong.

I dont over water, nor let it dry out. I have tried a pot with drainage and a pot with none.

Does coriander need a long pot to help it stand up?

Anyone got any tips on growing coriander?

I asked my mum and she said coriander gets stressed in strong sunlight and it needs deep pots cos they have long roots...maybe the pots aren't deep anough??

Ive just recently got into gardening, dunno if its cos im a bit older, fatter, dafter but i really enjoy it.

I bought some chinese lantern seeds from the pound shop and after having hysterics at Kat's cos she asked if they really light up...i then found out they were poisonous

All learning curves lol
