I bought a small pot of Herb Herbert's coriander from a local nursery two weeks ago. According to the instructions from the information tag attached, it needs lots of water and lots of sun, so I keep it on my windowsill where it can receive large amount of sunshine and have been watering it everyday. Today I suddenly discover that the stems and leaves are very flaccid/wilted, hanging over the pot, and few leaves appear abnormally shiny as they've been polished. I really don't know what is going wrong with my herb. Is it too much water and light or too little? Is there a way that I can "save" it? Please help. Thank you very much. Sincere Regards. -- §@ªÌ¡G bless -- µoªí®É¶¡¡G 2004/10/11 00:18am ÞË.....¦b¥xÆW¦o¦n¹³¬O°ª§N½­µæ ¤£ª¾±z¨º¸Ì¬O§_¤Ó¼ö©O©O? ·N©Î¬OªÅ®ðÀã«×¤£°÷¡A³o¸ò¼å¤ô¤S¤£¤@¼Ë¤F©O -- §@ªÌ¡G doolaan -- µoªí®É¶¡¡G 2004/10/11 04:51am [³o½g¤å³¹³Ì«á¥Ñdoolaan¦b 2004/10/11 04:54am ²Ä 1 ¦¸½s¿è] Bless ¥S±z¦n¡I·PÁ±z©âªÅ¦^ÂСC ¶}´¶´°¬O¤@­Ó®üÀØ«°¥«¡AªÅ®ð·Ã«×ÄY®æ¨Ó»¡¬O§¹¥þ¨¬°÷ªº¡C ÁöµM¤é·Ó®É¶¡¬O±q¦­¤W¤CÂI¨ì¤U¤È¤­ÂI¥b¡A¦ý®ð·ÅÁÙ¬O¤¶©óÄá¤ó¤Q¤»«×»P¤G¤Q¤T«×¤§¶¡¡C§Ú·Q¡AÀ³¸Ó¤£ºâ¬O¤Ó¼ö§a¡H¡I ¦Û±q¶R¦^®a¤§«á¡A´N§â¥¦©ñ¦bµ¡¥x¤W¡C°ò¥»¤W±q¦­¤W¤CÂI¦Ü¤U¤È¤­ÂI¥b§¡¥i·Ó¨ì¥R¸Îªº¶§¥ú¡C ¨C¤é¦­±ß¬Ò¦U¼å¤@¦¸¤ô¡A¨C¦¸§¡¼å¦Ü¤ô±q¬Ö©³·¸¥X¬°¤î¡A ¦ý©³½L¦h¾lªº¤ô¨Ã¨S¦³­Ë±¼¡C ½Ð°Ý¬O§Ú¼å¤Ó¦h¤ô¡AÅý¥¦·Ó¤Ó¦h¤Ó¶§¤F¶Ü¡H¦pªG±N¥¦²¾¦Ü¸û¦³³±¼vªº¦a¤è¡A¼å¤Ö¤@ÂI¤ô¡A±¡ªp·|¦nÂà¶Ü¡H©ÎªÌ¬O¦³¨S¦³¤°»ò¨ä¥L¥i¥H¸Ñ¨Mªº¤èªk©O¡H ÁÂÁ¡I -- §@ªÌ¡G ChicoGirl -- µoªí®É¶¡¡G 2004/10/12 10:42am Coriander has a very long tap root, so it's kind of hard to transplant when it gets big.  I guess the root had reached the bottom of your contain... Corianders prefers sun, but filter sunshine is the best for them. Can't grow them when the weather is too hot, because they will bloom, go to seeds, and die very soon. If you can plant the coriander outdoors, you should "harden off" the plant first (Slowly increasing the sunshine by moving the container from indoors to outdoors to different locations). Eventually put the coriander into the ground close to trees or buildings so it gets shade sometimes during the day. Or ( it's not easy but,) you could try growing your coriander indoors by potting it up to a contain as big as possible. And remember don't give them direct-sun all days on the windowsill. Although corianders need well-drained soil and moisture. The moisture, unfortuntly causes problems such as mold due to lack of air circulation. The best way to start the corianders is sowing many seeds DIRECTLY in the garden when the weather is not too hot in your area. Let some of the corianders bloom and setting the seeds. Don't harvest the seeds, then they will re-seeded themself next season, and you'll enjoy many coriander plants thereafter. Good luck! -- §@ªÌ¡G ChicoGirl -- µoªí®É¶¡¡G 2004/10/12 10:48am Sorry, typo... I meant "container" (not contain). -- §@ªÌ¡G doolaan -- µoªí®É¶¡¡G 2004/10/12 09:53pm Dear ChicoGirl, Thank you very much for all the useful invaluable informations and advices. My corriander really looked bad yesterday so I just removed them all out by cutting the stems approximately 1 cm above the soil, hoping they'll grow back in good health in few weeks time. I also examined one root to check whether the roots were infected with bugs or not. The root looked white and fine and was not too long as you pointed out the problem might be. I would love to try the repeated-self-seeding method but unfortunately I live in a flat and have no garden. If I just want to keep my coriander in a small pot, preferably indoor, what are your suggestions? Because I am kind of new to this field, so please forgive me if I ask stupid obvious questions. I am not quite familiar with the term "filtered light"in the gardening context. What do I have to use to filter the sunlight? In future, can I still keep my coriander on the windowsill provided the surrounding temperature is not too high and the sunlight is filtered. How often must I water them, or just as long as I make sure the soil is damp at all time but not waterlogged? And which is the best way to rehydrate them? Through top, bottom or mist? Please help me with your experties. Thank you so much again. Sincere Regards. -- §@ªÌ¡G beer -- µoªí®É¶¡¡G 2004/10/13 00:58am [quote][b]¤U­±¤Þ¥Î¥Ñ[u]bless[/u]¦b [i]2004/10/11 00:18am[/i] µoªíªº¤º®e¡G[/b] ÞË.....¦b¥xÆW¦o¦n¹³¬O°ª§N½­µæ ¤£ª¾±z¨º¸Ì¬O§_¤Ó¼ö©O©O? ·N©Î¬OªÅ®ðÀã«×¤£°÷¡A³o¸ò¼å¤ô¤S¤£¤@¼Ë¤F©O [/quote] Í´×h:em13:  ´N¬O«UºÙ¥­±`ªº­»µæ§a :em14: ¦pªGªº­»µæªº¸Ü ¦o¦b¥xÆW´N¤£¬O°ª§N½­µæ®@ :em25: ¦]¬°¦oªº¥X²£¤j©v¬O¹ü¤Æ¥_¤æÂí®@ §Ú¬Ý¹LºØ¦b¥ÐùØ­»µæ.. ºØ´Óªk»P¤@¯ë¸­µæÃþ¬Û¦P :em25: -- §@ªÌ¡G bless -- µoªí®É¶¡¡G 2004/10/13 01:16am ¬O³á@@......¨º§Ú¦b¶§©ú¤s¬Ý¨ìªº¨ì©³¬O@@????? §c§c..... ¨º­ìPoªº¤j¤j»¡ªº±¡§Î¸Ó«ç»ò¥b©O -- §@ªÌ¡G doolaan -- µoªí®É¶¡¡G 2004/10/13 07:03am ¬Q¤Ñ¨º¬ÖÍ´×h¬Ý°_¨Ó¯uªº«ÜÁV¿|¡AºG¶ÀºG¶À¡A³n­w­wªº¡C§Ú¤]¤£ª¾¹D¸Ó«ç»ò¿ì¡A ©Ò©¯¬½¤U¤ß¡A©óÂ÷¤g°ª¬ù¤@¤½¤À³B¡A¥Ñ²ô³¡§â¥¦­Ì¥þ³Î¤F¥h¡C ¤µ¤Ñ¦­¤W²r¤@Á@¡A¤S¶}©l«_¥X·s¸­ÀY¤F¡I§Æ±æ³o¦¸¥¦­Ì¥i¥Hªø±o°·±d­_§§¡C §Ú¤]¤£·|¦A¨º»òÄø¡A¨SÀY¨S¸£¦a¼å¨º»ò¦h¤ô¤F¡I ¥Ñ°J·P¿E¦U¦ì¼ö¤ßªº¨ó§U¡CÁÂÁ¡I
