# First coriander sprouts! Is this twins or does it normally grow like…

First coriander sprouts! Is this twins or does it normally grow like this? Noticed two roots from the seed when I planted it but I figured maybe that was normal for coriander.

A whole coriander seed has 2 embryos! That's why most gardeners crush them in half before sowing. It shouldn't affect development that much

I suppose it could be two separate plants, but some plants have two cotyledons. They are basically two starter leaves that end up shriveling away after the true leaves form.

Oh I thought all plants had the 2 cotyledon leaves! I didn’t know some could only have 1 how interesting!!! This is only my second season growing from seed tho so what I don’t know could fill the ocean. 😂

I think it's mostly grasses that have one cot.. grasses are monocots and other plants are dicots.
