Cumin grows successfully in climate zones 5-10. Cumin plants like warm, dry weather. If you do not live in this climate region, grow your plants indoors If you don't have time to start your cumin from seeds, purchase seedlings or starter plants from a local nursery or garden center. Not every store regularly carries cumin plants, so search online and call ahead before you go. Whether you are growing plants indoors or outdoors, cumin thrives off of ample sunlight. Select a spot in your yard or near a large window where your cumin can get direct sunshine for most of the day. If you are growing plants indoors, you can place them next to a large rear-facing window, for example. Cumin plants grow healthy nearly anywhere in your garden. You can plant your seedlings outdoors weeks when the temperature is consistently warm. Average temperatures should be 60F (16C). You can also plant them in raised boxes. Both cumin seedlings and plants do not have very large root systems, so you only need to dig a small hole. For best results, place each seed or plant at least 4in (10cm) away from the next. In addition, you can space each row about 18in (46cm) away from the next, so your plants have enough room to fully develop. Planting them close together is helpful because the plants support each other during harvest time. Use well-drained, fertile sandy loam soil for best results. Put the plant in the middle of your hole, and scoop your soil with your garden spade. Continue scooping soil until the hole is full to the top. Cumin plants are rather sturdy. They can adjust to a diverse range of soil types. You can purchase your soil at home supply or garden stores.
