Floppy Coriander

Hiya, I'm a bit new to gardening.

I bought some coriander about a week ago, and its ... er... gone floppy, it just hangs out of its pot. I have been watering it so I don't think that its 'flacid', and the basil and mint I bought the same day are doing just fine.

Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong?

I keep it indoors, its actually in a little greenhouse which stays quite warm, and I water regularly.

Many thanks in advance for any pointers!!!

Welcome to the forum Sheepysheep.
The coriander question comes up regularly.
The only answer I know is eat it.
Coriander runs to seed quite quickly. The only way i know to keep a fresh supply is to plant some seeds every 2 or 3 weeks.
I keep hoping I am wrong and someone will tell me how to keep some plants going (all summer and winter) as I love the stuff.
You're not doing anything wrong, David.
It's just the nature of the beast.

 

I have found this too and as Alice says, you can just keep popping in more seeds every few weeks for a continuous supply :thumb:

 

Ahhh what a shame, but I think I can handle the replanting!

Thanks a lot guys!! I really appreciate the help.

best to just plant a few seeds every few weeks to keep a fresh supply going.
