Dill is an aromatic herb with a fresh flavor that pairs perfectly with potato salads, fish dishes, sauces, and pickling. It grows quickly and thrives in em-Li.

Sow 20–40 seeds and press them lightly into the cocopeat.

Here’s how to do it:

Fill the pots with cocopeat

Distribute the seeds evenly on the surface.

Press them gently into the cocopeat.

The seeds will germinate after 6–15 days at the right temperature (20–25 °C)

Harvest dill regularly.

Dill is ready for its first harvest 4–8 weeks after sowing, once it reaches about 10–15 cm in height. Regular harvesting not only keeps the plant healthy, but also helps prevent flowering and encourages fresh growth.

Trim stems down to 5–10 cm, leaving the base to allow for regrowth.

Regular harvesting promotes new growth and helps prevent early flowering.

Never harvest more than 1/3 of the plant at once.

Once dill starts to flower, it loses flavor and won’t last as long – trim flower stems as soon as they appear.

Start in em-Li and repot after 4–8 weeks (when it’s 8–10 °C or warmer).

Want to grow dill outdoors? You can start it in the em-Li and repot it when the weather allows:

Transplant when the plant has developed strong roots, typically 4–8 weeks after sowing.

Handle the roots gently when moving to a new pot or outdoors.
