Should I let coriander seeds dry on the plant?


Some of my coriander seeds have been turning half brown. I have heard that they can drop pretty fast when ready, which made me wonder if I should cut off the top, place it in a paper bag and let it dry under the balcony. Is that a good method and if so when should I make the cut? I would want the seeds to be viable so should they all be half brown, all be fully brown or what?

Location: Sweden.

    I let mine fully dry on the plant. About 1/2 will drop off and 1/2 will stay on, but there are so many seeds from 1 plant that losing 1/2 doesn’t matter to me. I always end up with plenty for growing and cooking

    Yes dry on plant. The ones that drop will likely reseed the area the next year (at least in my area)
