Growing Instructions

Starting your seeds

You can start cilantro seeds indoors using a heat mat to encourage germination. Once the seedlings sprout and grow a few sets of leaves, move them outdoors. Keep the soil moist and provide 4–6 hours of sunlight daily. When direct sowing cilantro seeds, plant them about 1/4 inch deep with a light cover of soil in well-drained soil. Space them 6 inches apart to allow for healthy growth and easy harvesting.

Harvesting your seeds

To harvest cilantro, wait until the plant has reached a height of about 6 inches. Harvest the outer leaves and stems using scissors or shears, leaving the inner growth intact to encourage continuous regrowth. Harvesting can begin once the plant has become established, typically around 3-4 weeks after planting. Regular harvesting helps prevent cilantro from bolting and promotes a longer harvesting period.
