Use fresh coriander seeds, prepare loose and well-drained soil, and sow them approximately 1/4 inch deep. Gently splitting the round coriander fruits into their two halves may help improve germination consistency. Maintain moderate soil moisture and suitable temperatures for healthy seedling development.
Coriander naturally produces flowers and seeds as it matures, but high temperatures can cause premature bolting. Grow cilantro during cooler weather, provide partial afternoon shade in warm climates, and maintain consistent soil moisture. Harvest leaves regularly while the plant is young.
Coriander leaves can generally be harvested when the plant has developed several sets of healthy leaves, often around 3–5 weeks after sowing. Pick the outer leaves carefully while allowing the central growing point to continue developing. Harvesting before flowering helps maintain a supply of fresh foliage.
