CILANTRO GROWING GUIDE: 3 Tips to Prevent Bolting

[@ebradley2306]

I let cilantro bolt in my strawberry garden tower. The flowers bring in the pollinators for the berries. Gives the whole garden a pollinator jump start in early spring. 🙂

[@SoberOKMoments]

I now understand why I've had such poor results with cilantro. Thanks for all this good advice, I will use it!

[@gayatriworld3379]

It is my dream to have a garden like this. Cilantro is my favorite herb.

[@Martinamedina-j4u]

I use cilantro on everything cause Spanish and we love cilantro

I love fresh cilantro on sandwiches and salads. it boosts my energy alot, and is highly nutritional, removes heavy metals. such a wonderful plant.

[@angelaanderson5360]

Salsa baby!!! Thanks for the info. Enjoy your channel.

[@allisonmcfadden1742]

Thank you! I LOVE cilantro & can’t get enough! I recommend toasting the coriander seeds in a dry pan and putting them in salads or on dishes. Yum!

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Great idea!!

[@intheshell35ify]

So jealous of your Arizona garden and weather. I mean, except for the 110° days and neverending wildfires. 😳 😊

[@AnaMehlen]

There are two (2) plants in every seed of cilantro (even the ants know that) and in order to have a good crop, you have to lightly crush them by rolling them with a rolling pin or a bottle, in order to separate the two plants. Try planting one whole seed, and split the other one, and see which one comes first ..xoxo

[@rubinanaveed7735]

It's a tropical plant where the weather is hot throughout the year and cilantro is grown all year round in countries like Malaysia, Thailand, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Mexico.

[@LLjean-qz7sb]

I have bought cilantro from the market and froze it in a tight bunch. When I needed some, I took it out of the freezer and sliced off some from the frozen bunch and put it right back into the freezer or else you will have a defrosted bunch of "sloppy leaves"!! You don't have the fresh leaves but you get the flavor when you cook with it. You can only using it for cooking! It lasts for months in the freezer!😊❤

[@cyako88]

The best and only video about cilantro/coriander I’ve seen. Thank you!

[@natalieg1779]

I planted cilantro and was so surprised when the next spring they popped up again, having self-seeded and survived my zone 5 winter. It's come back every springtime since :)

[@garyweaver6026]

I use to live in Tempe AZ best garden I ever grew was in AZ. Garlic & potatoes can be planted every month Oct to March. Tomatoes, napa, lettuce, cabbage, carrots, beans, garlic, sweet peppers, grow all winter. Melons, sweet potatoes, okra, love HOT weather plant them April 1st. I moved to TN weather in TN is almost the same as AZ only we get more rain.

[@kahalamorse8910]

I love cutting them in my Potato Salad 😋👍

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Yum, that sounds good. I've never tried it in potato salad.

[@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403]

There are people who cilantro tastes like soap? Well that sucks! l LOVE cilantro in Pho soup! Probably the best way I like eating it.

[@homyce]

Cilantro is a key ingredient in 4 of my favorite cuisines; Middle Eastern, Mexican, Indian, and Thai. I usually consume around a bunch every week and tried to grow them in the past without much success. I will give the tips in your video a try for sure. Thanks a lot!

[@rm709]

Soap!!! But I have totally adjusted to the taste and have learned to like it a little bit. I’ll be growing it for the beneficial bug friends. Thanks!

[@WoWLatinLearners]

Me too.

[@lindag9975]

Thanks! I use my homegrown cilantro in salsa. Peoria, AZ Zone 9B.

[@carrieon1]

My hamster loves cilantro!

[@physicaltech12]

We love cilantro in salads, soups, bean salad, escabeche recipes and in guacamole❤

[@lovelightcontinuum]

I didn't realize I could plant them outdoors that much in advance of the last frost. Great info, thanks.

[@Akasha0777]

Thank you for the informative video. You have a lovely lush garden in AZ! I use Cilantro to make Sofrito.

[@foreverfreeshu]

I top almost all my nourish bowls with cilantro ..yummy. thanks for the growing tips

[@mandiesplace]

We also live in Arizona and the cilantro looks like weeds its growing so well! I'm glad this video popped up I was worried it was going to bolt with this weather...My favorite recipe at the moment is a red cabbage slaw with red onion, carrots, Jalapeno of course cilantro and a lot of it! I dress it with lime juice and a little salt. Delicious and so fresh!

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

That sounds so good. I think I have everything for that right now - I'm going to try it. Thank you!

[@saulo13184]

This is the best video I have seen about cilantro. Thank you!!

[@heidijohnson7231]

I just started to grow cilantro. Every time I need it I don’t have it and when I buy it, it doesn’t get used and I end up tossing it which I hate. Want to try and add more things to grow. I live in Surprise AZ and am loving your videos and website.

[@paulas_lens]

Definitely am going to plant cilantro!

I would love an episode on your favorite ways to use your garden-grown herbs and produce in the kitchen! Especially when you end up with relatively large crops. Thanks for all of your inspiration and education - from Cave Creek AZ 😊

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Good idea. I do share a lot with my family and neighbors now that we are down to only one at home. But I have favorite ways to use the produce for sure. Thanks for asking!

[@joannalexander8942]

Wow thanks for those tips on growing cilantro…I am picking up some seeds this week

[@jenkmax1]

Super informative, I love cilantro!

[@carrieon1]

I had no idea that coriander seeds come from cilantro. I love cilantro.

[@margotelizabeth7900]

Thank you. I have my first seedlings popping up here in April in New Zealand. I will follow your advice regarding the 2 weekly sewing for 4 months which will end in July here. I’ve also purchased seeds of a broad leafed Cilantro which I’m interested to try. It’s purported to be the Sam flavour, however, time will tell. My favourite way to eat Cilantro or Coriander is impossible to specify as I LOVE its flavour with avocados in Guacamole, sprinkle d on salads, in a cream sauce with pasta, in a stir fry. I mean in all honesty if you are lucky enough to enjoy this flavour in your food, what’s NOT to like??? Thank you for this informative Video. I shall subscribe. Margot New Zealand

[@aminasaifi4119]

I like cilantro I have always in my fridge

[@junewrogg6137]

I love Cilantro!!! I have some growing in a pot in the house pretty much year around and garden spring and fall. I love it in salsa, taco dishes, salads.... I have a couple of friends that hate it because of the dirt or soap taste, THAT would be so sad. I collect seed every summer and at the end of fall. YUMMMM

[@gwanma]

How do you grow in the house? Do they need a lot of sun or do you use grow lights? Thanks

[@junewrogg6137]

I grow them in pot with a good compose. Set near a window and they grow great. No grow lights needed. Water when it feels lite or dry. Cilantro likes cooler temps, so it can be set in your coolest room. It bolts in summer out side in hot weather, so I grow it in summer Aldo because air is on. Plant early spring and September outside.

[@rasserfrasser]

Best Cilantro vid I've seen. Thank you so much for this. Just got some seeds (because you're right, the stores are awful lol) and look to plant soon. Will watch again, for sure.

[@graemeroberts2935]

[@roottrackerzbyyaira]

Greetings from SoCal Zone 10b. Cilantro lover here 😅 I have been unsuccessful growing it and now have 3 dwarf lemon cilantro sprouts!! Thanks for your tips to keep them living b4 the heat arrives 🎉😅

[@pkrockx]

Thanks for the great tips! I can't wait to have fresh cilantro all spring and summer. My favorite way to eat them is freshly grounded in a mortar and pestle along with some green onions, garlic, and chili pepper. Add a dash of salt and grind til slightly crushed but chunky. It's delicious to eat with any grilled meat + rice on the side.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

That sounds so good!

[@Elizabeth-hd1kd]

This is exactly what i needed to know about cilantro! I saw one of your videos about a year ago and saw your garden grid watering system. Needless to say, I now have it throughout my raised beds. Its AWESOME! I subscribed and thoroughly enjoy your content👍👍👍

[@jannetteguzman1671]

Wonderful. Thanks for sharing. I have some cilantro bolting. I didn’t know if I cut the cilantro they will grow back in few weeks.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Once it's bolting it will continue to bolt, even if you cut it back.

[@tammywinter9268]

You are so smart. Thank you…I will attempt cilantro again.

[@DebEastman-Proulx]

Great video and very helpful info! Thanks!

[@PorchGardeningWithPassion]

Thank you for the tips 👊🏻🌻👊🏻

[@LogicalFinance]

When storing cilantro I’ve found putting a gallon ziplock bag over it can significantly increase the useful life. I’ve had it last over a month. Fill a cup with water, put stems in, open gallon bag on top, then put in fridge. I’ve done the same without the bag and it lasts maybe a week or 2. Not sure why the bag is so much better.

[@goldbeach7896]

Excellent information. Two more things that are often missed and overlooked, one is the young green corriander seeds, they are a treasure when crushed using a mortar and pestal. Heavenly indeed, use when you saute garlic and in pesto sauce . Harvest the dry seeds before any rain. No dry corriander tastes as aromatic as the corriander that is harvested and stored fresh from your own garden. I use corriander seeds when tender green, even more often than when the plant is at the cilantro stage!

[@joyb2285]

Now I understand why my cilantro plants were dying!! Thank you!

I started my cilantro In september, zone 9 and now their about 4”, Thank You Angela I Will do the succesion planting ive never done it 😊👩‍🌾♥️ one question can I grow it indoor and How do You do it? It So hot In here during summer like 110

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Yes, give them lots of light - indirect from a window is not enough. Here's the info from my blog on how to grow it indoors: Grow in an unglazed terra-cotta pot at least 8 inches (20 cm) deep. Water only when the top inch or so of soil is dry. Supplemental lighting for 10-11 hours per day, with the lights about 6 inches (15 cm) away from the plant. Ideal indoor temperature: 50°F-75°F (10°C-24°C). Feed a half-strength dose of fish emulsion every 2 weeks throughout the growing season. growinginthegarden.com/how-to-grow-cilantro-5-tips-for-growing-cilantro/

[@emylytle5409]

@@GrowingInTheGarden oh I never fertilize them ooops, I just water them 😬 so I have that fish emulsion and use it for other stuff, now I will use it for that. Thanks I will read the info you sent me ♥️😊👩‍🌾👍👍

Wonderful, thank you.

I always forget to plant it out early ! I think I am going to tape my cilantro seed package to a radish seed package so MAYBE I will actually remember to plant it early😆

I make tons of cilantro pesto with garlic and olive oil and freeze it last all oh and don't forget the lime juice season😊

[@earthplants]

That's really Beautiful

[@lucindawilliams6838]

Chop cilantro leaves and add a bit of olive oil, then freeze in an ice cube tray. For use in winter, wrap each portion in plastic.. It is not the same as fresh leaves, but it adds the cilantro flavor to salsa and other dishes.
