Give Coriander a uniform start with seed-zone moisture and nutrient placement based on soil status.
Crop growing guide
Coriander
Coriandrum sativum
A cool-season annual used for leaves or seed, with management changing according to the intended harvest.
Leaf coriander needs steady tender growth, while seed coriander must flower and dry under lower humidity. Moderate nitrogen prevents weak stems.
For practical cultivation, Coriander needs its light, water, root-zone aeration, and nutrition managed as one system. The guidance below organizes those needs by growth stage; final field or container rates should follow the product label, plant size, local conditions, and soil or media analysis.
Ideal growing conditions
- Light
- Full sun with strong airflow.
- Climate
- Mild, relatively dry conditions; protect from persistent tropical rain.
- Water
- Water deeply, then allow the upper root zone to begin drying before watering again.
- Soil
- Very free-draining, moderately fertile sandy or gritty soil.
- Soil pH
- 6.0–7.5
Nutrition by growth stage
Vegetative growth
Leaf, stem, tiller, or branch formationBalanced nitrogen, roots, canopy efficiency
Split nutrition during Coriander canopy development rather than relying on one large dose that can be lost or create weak growth.
Reproductive transition
Flower or panicle initiation through setPhosphorus, potassium, micronutrients, water
Coriander is sensitive to stress as reproductive structures form. Keep water and nutrient availability steady.
Seed or grain fill
Set through physiological maturityPotassium, remobilization, crop quality
Protect healthy leaves and avoid excessive late nitrogen while Coriander moves reserves into seed or grain.
Alitura fertilizer program
Match each product to the crop stage and root zone. Final rates should follow the product label, soil condition, and local agronomic advice.
Ginseng Special Mix
Special organic blend formulated for herb and spice plant growth and crop quality.
From IDR 28.000 / Kg(Packaging 20Kg)
Recommended for
Reproductive transition · Seed or grain fill
Ginseng Special Mix organic nutrition can support Coriander when its use follows crop stage, soil condition, and the product label.
Best timing
Introduce during active growth and the higher-demand stages listed above; avoid a large corrective dose close to harvest or dormancy.
How to apply for this crop
Apply to moist soil around the active Coriander root zone, keep material away from stems or crowns, water in, and adjust the amount to plant size and field or container conditions.
General product guidance
Apply around the active root zone or mix into the planting media according to the package label, then water lightly. Adjust the amount to plant size, soil condition, and crop stage.
NPK 5-5-5
Alitura's Reserve
Most Balanced NPK 5-5-5 Organic Nutritional Fertilizer
From IDR 28.000 / Kg(Packaging 20Kg)
Recommended for
Establishment · Vegetative growth
balanced soil-building organic nutrition provides a defensible foundation for Coriander without replacing soil or leaf analysis.
Best timing
Use during soil preparation, establishment, or recovery, then reassess before the next growth stage.
How to apply for this crop
Spread evenly through the cultivated root zone or media, mix lightly where appropriate, and never pile fertilizer against Coriander.
General product guidance
Use Alitura's Reserve as a base feed at planting and as a top-up through the growing season. As a general guide, work a small handful into the soil around each plant or mix it into potting media before planting, then reapply every 4 to 6 weeks during active growth. For garden beds, broadcast evenly over the soil surface and lightly incorporate, then water in well. Powder works best mixed into soil or media. Always water after applying and adjust the amount to plant size and soil condition.
Mistakes to avoid
- Copying one fertilizer program without checking soil status, variety, or yield target.
- Applying nutrients just before runoff-prone rain or uncontrolled irrigation.
- Using excessive late nitrogen and delaying maturity or weakening stems.
- Decide leaf or seed production early; repeated leaf cutting delays and reduces seed harvest.
