I agree

[@ecin0]

that paper towel trick for watering was genius!

[@maribellelebre6809]

OK! I started mint from a bunch I got at Loblaws that I couldn't finish - should have done this years ago! Propagated basil from a dying plant I found the same week. Watched your sweet potato slips video last week - 2 orange sweet potatoes are laying on their sides in their own food container greenhouses on a radiator and I'm tracking progress. Now coriander seeds are getting soaked tomorrow. I'm determined to turn this Toronto studio apartment into an indoor jungle, but when it comes to plants my preferences are usually for the edible and medicinal. Only discovering now that many of these thrive indoors. Add to the list of "Things I Wish I'd Known In My Twenties". Please keep including indoor farming tips!

OMG, that is amazing Maribelle! You need to document this! Love it!

[@sudhac1384]

Absolutely love this video!! I tried growing cilantro twice with 0% germination rate only to realize that the seeds were roasted( used for cooking)!! I have to purchase regular seeds and try again...thanks for this great video!!

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Thanks Sudha! Yes, that's the tricky thing with Coriander is that the seeds are so awesome for cooking, often people buy them not knowing they've been processed and rendered sterile. Just make sure to get fresh seeds and you'll be growing your own in no time! Also, they flower readily and produce tons of seeds if that's what you are after as well! :-)

[@elaineisthatyou]

I'm glad you talked about the spider mites. I read somewhere that they don't like cilantro plants, but they definitely destroyed the last set I had that was growing indoors. I can't wait to get my indoor (and outdoor!) garden going again when I move to my new house!

Hi from an American living in Italy. Thank you so much for your great instruction on growing cilantro indoors. I'm going to give it a try asap! Last year I tried seed starter trays and frankly it was a disaster. I hope your method works for me because my husband and I love the stuff! I love to cook dishes from Mexico and Indian but you are absolutely right about using it in so many dishes. Thanks again!

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Thanks Paula! Once you get going with it and get a rhythm with Cilantro, you'll find it easier. Heat to germinate, room temp to grow, moderate light. DON'T over water. Start a new cycle every 3-4 weeks and never buy Cilantro again! Cheers!

[@anghave]

Light is all-important to any plant but you mentioned nothing about the light requirements when growing cilantro indoors! Seed packet says it needs "full sunlight" if planted outdoors, so how does one supply enough light indoors? Do you put it next to a brightly-lit window all day, or will it do okay with moderate light? I have a west-facing kitchen window that gets about 4-5 daily hours of afternoon sunlight, don't think that's going to be enough. Can you use a grow light successfully for cilantro if you don't have any bright windows?

Then I can move the successful sprouts into the pods!!! 💖 Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you!!!

Hey Derek, yes, the biggest, oldest leaves. Cilantro grows new whorls of leaves out the center (most plants do) and pushes the older ones to the outside. Its these outside ones you want to harvest because if you cut the inside ones, that's it, that's the end of that shoot. Its not like Basil that'll sprout new shoots from the axils.

Great tutorial, thank you! The basic idea - unless with something like basil - is that key to success is big numbers, right? I've been growing the stuff outside in a big pot until it flowered and grew seeds and crumbled those right back in the same pot for succession sowing. Worked for me. Also people I know have used coriander from the spices departement - that stuff is so cheap that even 50% germination rate wont bother you. And if those seeds couldnt germinate while being stuck together in that pod and needed someone to crack them first, why would they have evolved to grow like this? ;⁠-⁠)

[@charlenedsouza2445]

Is it advisable to germinate the seeds and then sow the ones that germinate?

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

No, it's a wasted step Charlene... Just sow the seeds in higher density if you're worried about viability. If you have a batch of seeds that's unknown, do a seed viability test with a small sample in some wet paper towel. Cilantro, even when grown densely performs just fine.

Do you have suggestions on how I can eliminate the invisible insects who just ate my cilantro? Stems are chomped!
