Find helpful answers about Green Santo Cilantro seed germination, harvesting, and growing conditions.
Sow cilantro seeds about ¼–½ inch deep in loose, well-drained soil. Water gently and maintain consistent moisture during germination. Place the growing container in a location with suitable sunlight. Seeds generally germinate within 7–21 days under favorable conditions.
Young cilantro leaves can often be harvested approximately 3–5 weeks after sowing, depending on growing conditions and plant development. Pick the outer leaves carefully and leave the central growing points intact to encourage continued foliage production.
Cilantro is a cool-season herb that can bolt when exposed to high temperatures, long days, or other environmental stress. Bolting causes the plant to produce flower stalks and eventually seeds. Growing cilantro during cooler weather, providing afternoon shade, and maintaining consistent soil moisture can help delay bolting.
