Cultivation[edit]
Cilantro can be planted in the spring after the last frost date or in the fall. Cilantro grows best in cooler weather, so avoid planting it in the summer heat. Cilantro has a tap root and doesn't transplant well, so direct seeding is recommended. Sow seeds 1–2 seeds per inch, ¼–½" deep, in rows 12–18" apart. Before planting, you can prepare the seeds by gently crushing the husk that connects the two seeds and soaking them in distilled water for 24 to 48 hours. Cilantro needs moist soil, so check the soil every couple of days and water plants in beds about an inch per week. You can also use a soaker hose or drip irrigation. When growing cilantro in containers, you may need to water more frequently, especially as temperatures begin to rise. When cilantro plants reach about 2 inches in height, you can feed them with a water-soluble fertilizer. You can also encourage prolific leaf production by regularly feeding with a water-soluble plant food. You can harvest cilantro leaves once they are large enough to eat. Avoid harvesting more than a third of the plant at any one time. The plant will continue to produce leaves for a month or two before it dies. FloridaGardener352 (talk) 03:48, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
