    Vietnamese Coriander

    Sorry, this may be a stupid question alert - I can't find an answer elsewhere.
    Transplanted mine into a bigger pot outdoors (last week?), no problem.
    Looked fine, appeared to be thriving.
    Today, the leaves near the top are looking translucent, and some are curled up, dying.
    Did a quick search, and I see that it 1. needs plenty of water - and everything is pretty wet most of the time here; 2. needs plenty of sun - and it is in the open, no shade around.
    So all I am left with is the wind is beating it up?
    (Was blowing hard last night)
    I have had to move both tomato & cucumber plants due to the wind and now think the coriander will not survive either.
    The only plants which do not notice the wind are the rosemary, bay and the roses bushes.
    And (of course) various mints.

    Will include a picture if need be.
    Thanks in advance.

    In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

      Take some cuttings just in case. Just take the top few inches of the stems and bung them in water. It roots very easily. I don't have much luck keeping it growing though!

        Same here, I seem to lose it each winter, even bringing it inside . I took loads of cuttings last autumn, but they didn't survive on the window sill. I love the stuff, but have real problems finding it in any local nurseries.
        I could not live without a garden, it is my place to unwind and recover, to marvel at the power of all growing things, even weeds!

            This plant needs a lot of water on a daily basis esp in the summer and likes partial sun. You can put it outside in the garden at a spot where it gets partial sun right up till mid Sept maybe and then move them indoors. During the autumn months, only water them alternate days, in winter, once every 2-3days.

              Thanks, Ruff.
              I moved the pot to a partial sun location, watered daily and the plant recovered nicely.
              Will move it indoors, soon.
