Coriander seeds are readily available in most grocery stores as well.</li></ul><h3>Step 2: Select a Suitable Container or Garden Bed</h3> <ul><li>Decide whether you want to <keyword id="17845450" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="grow-coriander" source="Orion">grow coriander</keyword> in containers or directly in a garden bed. Coriander can thrive in both options, as long as there is good drainage.</li></ul><h3>Step 3: Prepare the Soil</h3> <ul><li>Coriander prefers well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Prepare the soil by incorporating organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure to improve fertility and drainage.</li></ul><h3>Step 4: Planting Coriander Seeds or Seedlings</h3> <ul><li>If using coriander seeds, sow them directly into the soil or containers, spacing them about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart and covering them with a thin layer of soil. If using seedlings, dig holes in the soil or containers and transplant them, ensuring the soil level matches the level of the seedling's root ball.</li></ul><h3>Step 5: Provide Adequate Sunlight</h3> <ul><li>Place the coriander plants in a location that receives at least 4-6 hours of sunlight per day. Coriander can tolerate partial shade, especially in hot climates.</li></ul><h3>Step 6: Watering</h3> <ul><li>Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the coriander plants regularly, especially during dry periods. Avoid overhead watering as it can lead to leaf diseases. Water at the base of the plants to keep the foliage dry.</li></ul><h3>Step 7: Harvesting</h3> <ul><li>Coriander leaves can be harvested once the plants have developed a sufficient number of leaves, usually around 3-4 inches (7-10 cm) in height. Trim the leaves from the outer part of the plant as needed. The seeds, known as coriander seeds or cilantro seeds, can be harvested once the plant has produced flowers and the seeds have turned brown. Allow the seeds to dry on the plant before harvesting.</li></ul><h3>Tips for Growing Coriander:</h3><ul><li>Start successive plantings every few weeks to ensure a continuous harvest throughout the growing season.</li><li>Coriander plants tend to bolt (go to seed) quickly in hot weather. To delay bolting, provide partial shade or grow coriander during cooler seasons.</li><li>Pinch off flowers as soon as they appear to prolong the leaf harvest.</li><li>Watch out for aphids and caterpillars, which can be common pests for coriander. Use organic pest control methods if necessary.</li><li>Consider growing coriander indoors near a sunny window if outdoor space is limited.</li></ul>By following these steps and tips, you should be able to grow fresh and flavorful coriander at home. Enjoy the aromatic herb in your culinary endeavors!

But before you start preparing for the traditional colour splash, have you got all the ingredients to make it a green Holi? <keyword id="2132784" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Holi-colours-industry">Holi colours industry</keyword> was pegged to <keyword id="30450" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="80" keywordseo="Touch">touch</keyword> Rs 4,500 crore in 2012-13, according to an analysis by the Associated Chamber of Commerce and Industry of India (<keyword id="6355988" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Assocham">Assocham</keyword>), and the numbers are sure to go up this year. Interestingly, the <keyword id="47445" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Indian-market">Indian market</keyword> has also witnessed a growing demand for hazard-free herbal colours. The market for <keyword id="2132783" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Herbal-dyes">herbal dyes</keyword> is estimated to be growing at 30-40% annually although the products are a bit expensive. 
 While a chemical-free colour plunge is the most desirable and eco-friendly way of celebrating Holi, you must walk through the market once to find out what’s in store. Broadly speaking, you will find three types of <keyword id="586078" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="chemical-colours">chemical colours</keyword> here – powders, pastes and wets or liquid ones. Most of these are chemical/synthetic dyes, containing substances such as <keyword id="2132786" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Oxides">oxides</keyword>, <keyword id="6395221" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="heavy-metals">heavy metals</keyword> (lead, chromium, nickel and cadmium), <keyword id="1322867" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="acids">acids</keyword>, <keyword id="2132787" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Alkalis">alkalis</keyword>, <keyword id="2132789" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Powdered-glass">powdered glass</keyword> and <keyword id="2132788" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Mica-dust">mica dust</keyword> – all supremely harmful for your skin, hair and eyes.

No wonder we get itches, rashes, redness and swelling after a thorough colour soak, a colour-filled balloon attack or a terrific <keyword id="2132798" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Pitchkari">pitchkari</keyword> fight. Also, darker shades like red, blue and green have high levels of chemicals, metal oxides and industrial dyes, which are used to provide thick texture. Shiny colours can also contain powdered glass.

Go ‘natural’ to stay safe You can either buy herbal dyes or use home-made colours, which are clinically safe and totally <keyword id="6356826" type="COMPANY" weightage="80" keywordseo="environment">environment</keyword> friendly. The herbal variant is now easily available in the market and uses components such as flour, henna or arrowroot powder as base, and vegetable dyes to add colour. But before buying them, make sure they are non-carcinogenic, lead-free and lab-tested for safety. 
 You can also prepare <keyword id="583108" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Holi-colours">Holi colours</keyword> at home as you get some excellent colorants from certain flowers and plants. All you need to do is dry and powder them or soak/boil them in water. Add a little scented oil and eco-friendly Holi colours will be ready for use. Take a look at the 8 exotic colours you can prepare at home. 
 
1. <keyword id="2132779" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Ruby-Red">Ruby Red</keyword>: Prepare red sandalwood powder/paste or mix it in plenty of water and boil for <keyword id="2132794" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Liquid-colour">liquid colour</keyword>. You can also crush dry red hibiscus flowers and boil it in water. Peels of red <keyword id="92372" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Pomegranates">pomegranates</keyword> or twigs of madar tree produce a vibrant red when boiled in water. Otherwise, put carrot or tomato juice in plenty of water to take the stickiness out and use it. 
 
2. <keyword id="2132806" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Turmeric-yellow">Turmeric Yellow</keyword>: This one is the easiest to make. Mix turmeric or haldi powder with double the amount of besan to prepare a vivid yellow powder. Flowers like marigold and yellow chrysanthemums can also be dried and crushed to obtain different shades of yellow. To produce liquid colours, mix any of these powders in plenty of water and boil it. 
 
3. Profound Pink/Magnificent Magenta: Soak sliced beetroot in lots of water for 12 hours or so before using the liquid. 
 
4. Sunny Orange: Put tesu or palash flowers (flame of the forest) in water and soak overnight. Or boil them in water for a vibrant yellow-orange shade. 
 
5. Emerald Green: Dried and powdered henna leaves will work best. For wet colour, soak the henna leaves overnight or prepare a paste of spinach/coriander/mint, and mix it in water. 
 
6. Turquoise Blue: Jacaranda and blue hibiscus flowers can be dried, powdered and used. 
 
7. Dark Brown: Boil tea leaves or coffee powder. Let it cool before using. 
 
8. Charcoal Black: Boil dried amla in an iron vessel and leave it overnight. Mix with water and use. 
 
3 tips for a ‘safe’ Holi 
1. Say ‘no’ to colours: Especially pastes and liquid colours, as these tend to stain the skin deeper and last longer. Avoid colours altogether if you are suffering from asthma, eye or <keyword id="624291" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Skin-infections">skin infections</keyword>, or any other chronic disease. 
 
2. Cover yourself well: The more you do that, the less exposed you will be to harmful chemicals. Wear full-sleeve dresses and don a pair of sunglasses to protect your skin and eyes. Apply baby oil, cream or waterproof <keyword id="74032" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Sunscreen">sunscreen</keyword> lotion on your skin – so that the stains will get off easily. 
 
3. See your doctor: Don’t neglect post-Holi syndromes like skin or eye irritation. A mild anti-allergic and soothing skin lotion should be able to fix it, but severe allergy, <keyword id="2132809" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Chemical-burn">chemical burn</keyword> or <keyword id="2132810" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Retinal-damage">retinal damage</keyword> cannot be ruled out either. See your doctor as soon as you can and start proper treatment.

Rodgers said on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RgrKWDYdho">Pat McAfee Show</a> that he completed a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RgrKWDYdho">Panchakarma</a>, a period of reflection meant for cleansing the mind and body. The Panchakarma is rooted in a traditional healing practice from India called Ayurvedic medicine, which promotes <keyword id="11894571" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="health" source="Orion">health</keyword> and wellbeing by balancing the elements or energies with lifestyle, diet, and meditation. It is intended to "lubricate" and cleanse the digestive system, and should be done only with a trained practitioner, according to the <a href="https://www.ayurveda.com/introduction-to-panchakarma/#">Ayurvedic Institute</a>. Rodgers said he felt a sense of gratitude after the cleanse and it helped him relieve stress. <h2>The cleanse typically includes a strict diet and avoidance of vigorous activity</h2>The exact process of the Panchakarma can vary, since different people are likely to have different needs based on their unique energy balance, according to the <a href="https://www.ayurveda.com/introduction-to-panchakarma/#">Ayurvedic Institute</a>. However, the basic recommendations for the cleanse include drinking two ounces of warm ghee (clarified butter) in the morning and herbal laxatives at night. Practitioners eat mainly mixture of rice, mung beans, and vegetables known as kichari, cooked with more ghee and seasonings like ginger, turmeric, and coriander. Foods to avoid during the cleanse include sugar, alcohol, caffeine, drugs, dairy, and cold food or beverages, according to the <a href="https://www.ayurveda.com/introduction-to-panchakarma/#">Ayurvedic Institute</a>. During the cleanse, practitioners should avoid any stimulating activities like exercise, music, television, or sex, and spend time resting and reflecting in a warm, quiet place. In some cases, the process may involve "therapeutic vomiting," enemas, and bloodletting.<h2>There's no evidence you can remove toxins with a cleanse, and risks include dehydration and digestive upset</h2>While there may be a spiritual side to the Panchakarma, there's no evidence-based health benefit to undertaking a cleanse diet, according to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bonnietaubdix/">Bonnie Taub-Dix</a>, <a href="https://bonnietaubdix.com">registered dietitian</a> and the author of "<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Read-Before-You-Eat-Taking/dp/1979739722/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1511824854&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=read+it+before+you+eat+it">Read It Before You Eat It - Taking You from Label to Table</a>." "We were given livers and kidneys to help with <keyword id="12549378" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="detox" source="Orion">detox</keyword>, we don't need to do something like this to make yourself healthier," she told Insider. One <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/mid/NIHMS116241/">2009 study</a> found that, while there was no evidence of major health benefits of Panchakarma itself, the cleanse may make people feel healthier. However, Taub-Dix said there's a risk of dehydration and electrolyte imbalance from consistent use of laxatives and ghee, which also has a laxative effect as a concentrated form of saturated fat. Instead of undertaking a rigorous detox process, Taub-Dix would recommend most people to try small, consistent changes that balance their diet."Cleanses are short term practices that bring unrealistic results. The focus is to lubricate your system and push foods out, when you should be focusing on what you're putting into your body," she said.

Aaron Rodgers said he did a 12-day Panchakarma cleanse, which involves drinking warm ghee in the morning and a laxative at night

The line between on-call and off-the-clock has never been blurrier. Not surprisingly, the same is true of what constitutes appropriate, good-looking office attire (whether your desk is at a museum or a hedge fund). 
Consider suit separates (like the slate-gray silk pants and pale-blue two-button-jacket combo by Ermenegildo Zegna shown on the right) the new godsend, as they make buying off the rack easier than ever (though you'll still need a tailor, which is why we've included some of the best in the country who just happen to make desk-side calls). 
Of course, on the following pages you'll see less-formal options, too-dark-wash denim, a bold, bright tie, and even a leather jacket should and can be incorporated into the daily and evening grind. How you dress for the job will always leave a lasting impression. 
<h2>1. Dress up your denim with a pop of color</h2>
The key here is choosing a vivid shirt-and-tie combo in complementary shades and a blazer. Try an unstructured one in a can't-miss neutral. 
<h2>2. Wear a suit without the tie</h2>
Get even more mileage out of a well-tailored suit. A fine-gauge crew neck knit sweater strikes the perfect note of refined yet relaxed. 
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/53286facecad044406ed9301-1200-924/pattern-suit-joseph-gordon-levitt.jpg" border="0" alt="Pattern suit Joseph Gordon Levitt" />Getty</div></div></div>
<h2>3. Mix and match patterns</h2>
Keeping these pieces in the same color family means that a subtle pattern on the jacket effortlessly introduces some visual texture.
<h2>4. Remaster the button down shirt</h2>
You should own a fail safe white shirt, but you can also pair a spread collar with a skinny knit tie makes it easy to do casual Friday right. Also, a soft linen blend in a light cream is both unexpected and elegant.
<h2>5. Upgrade your briefcase</h2>
Carry a sleek and streamlined case if you're a modern minimalist. Other classic options include a bag with structure cut from preposterously soft leather, and one just big enough to double as a weekender.
<h2>6. Broaden your footwear options</h2>
Yes, classic lace-ups are always office-appropriate. But so are other, less-conventional shoes, from leather slippers to suede boots. Look for shoes at <a href="http://www.brooksbrothers.com/black-fleece/black-fleece,default,sc.html">Black Fleece by Brooks Brothers</a>, <a href="http://shop.brunomagli.com/">Bruno Magli</a>, <a href="http://www.church-footwear.com/en/UK/new-collection">Church's</a>, <a href="http://www.johnlobbltd.co.uk/main/main.htm">John Lobb</a>, <a href="http://www.gucci.com/us/home">Gucci</a>, <a href="http://www.grenson.co.uk/en_us/">Grenson</a>, <a href="http://www.colehaan.com/">Cole Haan</a>, <a href="http://www.tods.com/us/">Tod's</a>, <a href="http://www.hermes.com/index_us.html">Hermes</a> and <a href="https://www.jcrew.com/index.jsp">J. Crew</a>. 
<h2>7. Less fragrance is more</h2>
No one wants to be the guy whose enthusiasm for eau-de-whatever makes sharing an elevator with him unbearable. It's hardly unprofessional to hit the bottle - in fact, the right fragrance can get you noticed in a good way - but the secret is to find something understated. 
Opt for a cologne with strong base notes (the woody, musky, earthy molecules that most easily bond with your skin), and use as you would REPLY ALL: judiciously. Here are some good ones. 
Bulgari Aqua Amara: With its blend of bitter mandarin and orange oils, <a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/bvlgari-aqva-amara-for-men-eau-de-toilette-spray-34-oz?ID=1222151&amp;CategoryID=30076#fn=sp%3D1%26spc%3D4%26kws%3Dbulgari%20aqua%20amara%26slotId%3D4">this is the scent</a> your girlfriend is most likely to steal. But those citrus aromas are balanced by patchouli essence (less Woodstock-y than woodsy), resulting in a strong finish. 
Arquiste L'etrog: Perfumer Carlos Huber <a href="http://www.barneys.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-BNY-Site/default/Search-Show?q=ARQUISTE+L%27ETROG">describes his creation</a> (inspired by the Calabrian countryside) as "very herbal; a bit of pine needle, a bit of rosemary." Think Mediterranean fields that go on forever. 
Dior Homme Eau For Men: Fresh and floral, <a href="http://www.dior.com/beauty/en_us/fragrance-and-beauty/fragrance/mens-fragrance/dior-homme/pr-diorhommefpl-Y0600940-eau-for-men.html">Dior's classic for men</a> gets an update in which the original's signature iris notes mingle with grapefruit and coriander to create a clean, just-out-of-the-shower vibe. 
Malin + Goetz Dark Rum: This <a href="http://www.malinandgoetz.com/perfumery/dark-rum-edt?keyword=dark+rum">mix of plum, leather, and patchouli</a> is a strong representative of the subset of fragrances with a boozy bouquet; after an initial hit of spice, it dries to a warm, sweet finish. 
Ermenegildo Zegna Haitian Vetiver: Proof that simple doesn't have to mean basic: The star is <a href="http://store.zegna.com/us/ermenegildo-zegna/men/haitian-vetiver_cod62000698hf.html">high-quality vetiver</a>, a lemony grass that's a common crop in Haiti; bitter hints of neroli and orris root add depth. 
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/532871ebeab8ea7b274b5f35-1200-924/tag-heuer-watch-leonardo-dicaprio.jpg" border="0" alt="TAG Heuer watch Leonardo DiCaprio" />Getty</div></div></div>
<h2>8. Wear a low profile watch</h2>
Leave the Garmin for the gym. Classic and sleek, look for a leather-strap timepiece. They are the professional's ultimate accessory. Shop brands like <a href="http://us.tagheuer.com/">TAG Heuer</a>, <a href="http://www.montblanc.com/en-us/default.aspx?sc_lang=en-us">Montblanc</a>, <a href="http://www.patek.com/contents/default/en/home.html">Patek Philippe</a>, <a href="http://www.vacheron-constantin.com/en/">Vacheron Constantin</a>, <a href="http://www.alange-soehne.com/home">A. Lange &amp; Söhne</a> and <a href="http://www.omegawatches.com/">Omega</a>.
<h2>9. Travel with first-class gear</h2>
Luggage with extra padding: A handsome roller, perfect as a carry-on but big enough for a longer trip, is sleek and streamlined while still offering a padded compartment for your laptop.
Try the first foray into luggage by Montreal-based <a href="http://www.wantessentiels.com/us_en/" target="_blank">Want Les Essentiels de la Vie</a> and a signature example of its point of view: traditional style, subtly subverted. The unexpected element is the rich chocolate-brown leather, a sophisticated alternative to the business traveler's standard-issue black nylon.
Comfy-chic sweats: Mastering the art of looking good on (and after) a red-eye flight means finding those elusive pieces that are elegant yet comfortable. 
Thanks to two new labels, you can: Los Angeles-based LongJourney's relaxed black mesh drawstring pants get a luxurious upgrade by way of swatches of suede on the front (think elevated sweats). 
And a just-boxy-enough white French-terry sweatshirt from <a href="http://www.smith-smith.com/" target="_blank">Smith &amp; Smith</a>'s debut collection will keep you warm when the air-conditioning is blasting from on high. Once you touch down, throw your topcoat or a classic trench over it and you won't look like you're wearing pajamas or, worse, yesterday's outfit. 
Pre-flight Tiger Balm: Invented in the 1870s by a Chinese herbalist and perfected by his sons (one of whose name meant Gentle Tiger), <a href="http://www.tigerbalm.com/us" target="_blank">Tiger Balm</a> has long been a multitasking standby for headaches and sore muscles. 
Our style director, Eugene Tong, swears by it; before takeoff, he puts some on his temples to ward off airsickness. 
<h2>10. Hire the best help</h2>
Tailors, barbers, and bootblacks to put on speed dial. Most make desk-side calls, so you'll never have to blow a lunch hour again.
Chicago: Since 1990, <a href="http://www.tailorstouchchicago.net/">Tailor's Touch</a> has been a Gold Coast mainstay, altering suits (working buttonholes are a specialty) and jeans alike. Be sure to ask for head tailor Raymond Vasquez.
Born into a family of stylists, Miguel Betancourt picked up a pair of scissors at 13 and has found his niche offering on-call services for the guy with a demanding schedule, making himself available 24 hours a day.
<a href="http://www.altmansshoesandboots.com/">Altman's Shoes for Men</a> has been an institution for businessmen in the Loop in need of a quick shine.
Dallas: A former alterations manager at the Barneys New York Dallas outpost, Orland Morales counts boutiques like Alexander McQueen and hotels including The Joule as clients. He runs <a href="http://tailorshopdallas.com/">The Tailor Shop Dallas</a>.
With three locations citywide, the <a href="http://www.osgoodoneil.com/about.html">Osgood-O'Neil salon</a> empire is manned by 18 stylists (some of whom have prepped clients for Good Morning America and New York Fashion Week), which means you can usually get an appointment a day in advance. 
In addition to shining or repairing your kicks, <a href="http://www.denosshoerepair.com/">Deno's of Highland Park</a> also works on small bags and belts. 
Los Angeles: Taline Mazlemian's family has owned <a href="http://paragoncleaners.com/">Paragon Cleaners</a> for almost half a century; regulars include the Los Angeles Opera and the vintage boutique What Goes Around Comes Around. 
The stylists at <a href="http://hairroomservice.com/">Hair Room Service by Michael Dueñas</a> offer a full slate of treatments, including beard trims and light facials. They've even spiffed up celebs like Adrian Grenier and <a href="http://www.details.com/celebrities-entertainment/cover-stars/201402/breaking-bads-aaron-paul-interview-exodus-need-for-speed" target="_blank">Aaron Paul</a>. Bonus: They're on-call after hours. 
Shoe Lab, a Beverly Hills spot, is known for its resoling skills on designer shoes. 
New York City: Request a fitting with Wilfredo Rosario himself when you go to <a href="http://wilfredstailor.com/">Wilfred's Tailoring</a>. He learned the trade from his father and older brothers as a kid. He regularly makes alterations for Helmut Lang and Costume National and often leaves the shop to provide services for A-listers like Will Smith and Denzel Washington. 
Marcos (Reggae to his friends) Smith has groomed models and cut hair for Usher, <a href="http://www.details.com/health-fitness/celebrity-workout/201309/jason-derulos-dancers-body-workout" target="_blank">Jason Derulo</a>, and top execs at Atlantic Records, but extends the VIP treatment to all his clients. 
<a href="http://leatherspa.com/">Leather Spa</a> regularly takes on repairs for Gucci, Fendi, and some of the Big Apple's most demanding clientele. 
Washington, D.C.: If you want the best, call Hamza Simrick, the man who wrote the book on tailoring, literally. Simrick is the author of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Art-Tailoring-Hamza-Simrick/dp/B0007AZ22E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1395156635&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=the+art+of+tailoring+hamza+simrick">The Art of Tailoring</a>, and with stints on Savile Row and at Burberry under his belt, he knows how a suit should fit. 
After 32 years in the business (with Armani, Valentino, and Milan Fashion Week on his résumé), Luigi Parasmo recently <a href="http://www.luigiparasmosalon.com/">opened his eponymous salon</a> in Georgetown, but Beltway insiders know the pro gives the finest in-office cuts in town. 
Back when he was a senator, Joe Biden was a regular at <a href="http://usshoeshine.com/services">Union Station Shoe Shine</a>. If you don't have time to leave the building, avail yourself of its pickup and delivery service.
