Review: Saw tooth coriander, Recao, Shado Beni, Scotch bonnet - Order this in July 2023. I have a 6 pod aerogarden harvest slim in which I planted 3 seeds in each pod. I do not know if it was luck but all seeds sprouted in 14 days. By day 50 I had full harvest. It is know day 101 and it is still producing. It is also due to the fact that I have been cutting out the flowering stem. For those of you who may not know what it looks like check on you tube or online I forgot to take a picture. If you allow it to flower you will no longer get anymore growth. That flowering stem produces seeds when it dries out and turns brown it gives you seeds for new planting. But if you want continuous growth of this herb you must cut it out. I have read the reviews and I notice that no one mentioned using a hydroponic system. This is my first time using the aero garden and this worked beautifully. The seeds are small like coffe grain. What I did was to sprinkle on a paper towel and lifted each seeds with a pair of tweezers. The rest I put back into the pack. Do not use on a wet paper towel you want to be able to store the unused seeds and they must be kept dry.
