2. Soil: Vietnamese coriander prefers well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. You can mix compost or well-rotted manure into the soil before planting to provide nutrients.

3. Light: Vietnamese coriander prefers partial shade to full sun. Place the plant near a window that receives bright, indirect light if growing indoors.

4. Temperature: Vietnamese coriander thrives in warm, humid conditions. The ideal temperature range is between 24°C to 29°C.

5. Fertilizer: Fertilize the plant with a balanced fertilizer once a month during the growing season. You can also use a liquid fish emulsion fertilizer.

6. Pruning: Pinch back the tips of the stems regularly to encourage bushy growth. You can also harvest the leaves as needed for cooking.

7. Pests and Diseases: Vietnamese coriander is generally resistant to pests and diseases. However, it can be affected by spider mites or powdery mildew. Treat any infestations promptly with a commercial insecticide or fungicide.
