How to care for and overwinter Asian coriander
Although Vietnamese coriander is not botanically related to real coriander, there are no clear differences in care. The following aspects are important:
- Water regularly when the substrate is dry
- fertilize organically every 2 weeks from April to September
- repeated pruning promotes further branching
- constant harvesting produces bushy growth
If the temperatures fall below 10 degrees Celsius in autumn, Asian coriander moves into the house. You have the choice of a warm winter on the windowsill in the sunny place. In this case, continue pouring to a reduced extent. It is fertilized every 4-6 weeks. Alternatively, place the herb plant at 5-10 degrees Celsius. Here you only water now and then.
