Another pro tip--if you want a coriander or basil for your kitchen, buy a plant from a garden centre not the ones from the supermarket. They are less expensive and better quality plants

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Sure

[@jasong9774]

I know of other pour souls that feel this way.

[@ausfoodgarden]

Not where I live. At the supermarket, most rooted herbs are $3 Most garden centres sell them for $5 or 6.

[@BTW...]

The Supermarket is an indoor climate controlled (for human comfort) environment, very different to an outdoor garden, where the will no doubt thrive under the sun, if it isn't way too cold.

[@cattastroficka196]

I’d never considered the roots were a plant’s naughty bits. I will never look at roots the same again. 🤣👍🏼

[@rosiepone]

well technically the flowers are naughty bits, but the roots really seem like you're never supposed to see them

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

😁

[@christinehoughton8591]

😂😂😂😂

[@jussikankinen9409]

In ancient time they said raining is god ejacylating

[@LeeGee]

I find it helps to soak the root ball in water before splitting.

[@mon6745]

These plants are trained to die exactly 3 days after you bring them home 😭😭😭😭😭

[@lol30511]

Literally 😂

[@halir4408]

I’d given up on trying to keep cilantro/ coriander alive in my kitchen window… but you’ve given me new hope, and now I’m ready to try again. Thanks Richard!

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

You’ve got this ✊

[@valerie1723]

I gave your basil plant tip a whirl and so far I have lots of little plants growing away on my windowsill. Pan of tomato and basil soup with the leaves I picked off whilst repotting. I'll definitely give this a try.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Great stuff 👍

[@momkelso]

I’ve always grown mine outside and they will bolt (go to seed) after just a few weeks. If I want cilantro all summer, I will sprinkle more seeds around the herb garden every couple of weeks.

[@mpras684]

Can’t bolting be slowed down by pinching off the flowers? I know I’ve done that with basil 🧐

[@rosieb.2719]

I move my pots of cilantro into the shade on my deck during the heat and high sun of the day; they last so much longer. And frequent cuttings definitely help prevent bolting.

[@tessjuel]

​@@mpras684 Aww but coriander seeds are sooooooo tasty. Completely different flavour than the leaves. Horrendously expensive if you buy them too so let at least some of your coriander plants bolt. You won't regret it!

[@whodoyoudancefor]

​@@tessjuel Coriander seeds are indeed amazing, but they're super cheap not expensive. Look for an Indian grocery store

[@pattymcmullen8551]

Here in southern Missouri i have cilantro that overwintered in my raised bed,also many little seedlings as I let it all go to seed last summer. Yippee

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

👌

[@user-vz7xf5vf6j]

If you buy a bunch of cut coriander wrap it loosely in kitchen paper then lay it a Tupperware close the lid and store in the fridge. Extends it use.

[@julierobertson148]

I'd decided not to waste any more money on grocery store-bought cilantro. This video has given me enough hope to try again. Thanks for the motivation.

[@JaSon-wc4pn]

I found store bought mint and chives survived the best. With no help, And I would recommend planting up your unused spring union bulb ends too If you buy a small bunch

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Nice tip

[@janetmackinnon3411]

Very timely advice , thank you

[@lindas.8036]

Thank you for the video. I am surprised that you didn't cut the cilantro over a clean area and use it for cooking! That was a nice big handful!

[@missautumn764]

I'm one of those people who wouldn't mind all of those soapy meal-detergents to perish.. 😅

[@mpras684]

That’s fascinating I believe there is a certain part of the human population who taste soapiness in coriander because it contains something also present in soap! I’m lucky I don’t taste it 😉

[@JaSon-wc4pn]

Great on a Vindaloo Nasty in a cheese salad roll. The Soapy meal detergents is a legendary description😂

[@j.w8680]

Buy from a proper Asian grocers - the real stuff sold in bunches tastes completely different & has far more aroma! Once home rinse lower half & then wrap the bottom part (NOT the leaves!), bit like a 👶🏻 and store in a plastic bag in fridge - it will last much longer!

[@thatswhatisaid8908]

But that would be terribly unfair to the rest of us!

[@littlegreenhouses]

It grows pretty well from seed, too. At once in the climate of your home and will not have this period of adaptation. I have no spices from mazanizin did not cling, except maybe rosemary, but I took it in the garden store and it was immediately in the right soil and volume

[@Eidolonian]

Amazing, ty Sheff!

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

You bet!

[@bide7603]

I saw the basil video and immediately search for this one hahahah and also disconcerted by the copy paste of the script 😂

[@cheese7119]

Mom buying 2 plants from the store, I take care of one, she takes care of the other... Mine looks fine, hers is already dead 😅

Good techniques for getting healthy plants and save money.

[@user-sk4fi7so9m]

Thank you! 🤞mine turn out as good as yours.

[@user-tj4eg1wm7b]

I will try this at the weekend, I love coriander but usually have to chop it all up and cook with it in one go or it's gone/ turned to mush.. Let's see how it works :)

[@davidmolloy126]

They are also usually full of Fungas Gnats like the Parsley I bought recently. Thanks very much.

[@JH-lz4dh]

I have a grudge against these grocery store potted herbs because that's how my entire collection of houseplants got a thrips infestation! Never again!!

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Oh really!

[@JH-lz4dh]

@@SheffieldMadePlants yep but it was basil not cilantro

[@ElsieJay]

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

You bet!

[@hankstorm3135]

15$!? these herb pots here cost 1.5 euro in supermarket. organic!

[@despoticmusic]

$15 for a coriander/cilantro plant? Really? Or was it some exotic orchid? $15 buys a massive pile of cilantro seeds. Throw them in the ground. Sprinkle over some soil and water for 3 weeks. Even the most inept gardener would end up with more cilantro than they could possibly consume….

[@fifinguyen8944]

😂 thank you for the info 👍

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Any time!

[@aarondavidson6409]

Coriander sold at supermarkets isnt really designed for growing, its meant to be consumed quite quickly. Being in a pot keeps its fresher than bunched... Coriander hates being divided and transplanted, sure you might have some success but ultimately the best bet is to buy a pack of 50 seeds for the same price and plant them in pots.

[@rosemarielee7775]

I find it tricky to germinate. Possibly it needs more heat than an average UK spring.

[@aarondavidson6409]

@@rosemarielee7775 Yeah it needs a bit of warmth, have you tried the heat mats for seedlings? Pop them under a seed tray.. I've heard they work great in colder climates :)

[@rosemarielee7775]

​@@aarondavidson6409 thank you. Heat mats are on my wishlist.

[@hankstorm3135]

then how does it initially grow into this format if is dead in your own home a few days later? i also sometimes go to a more raw small supermarket, they sell giant bushes of coriander which are way thicker and bigger leaves packed in elastic, no roots. they last longer in the veggie drawer fridge than these super market plants! plus make for not being too conservative with it :)

[@shyredwall]

Did anyone else see the word “sock” made by the roots at 3:14 and 4:01 v

How do u grow chopped plant fresh coriander leaves

[@lorill2631]

Hey and great info! Would love to understand why we need to water plants from the top or from the bottom saucer? 😊

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Either way is fine. Depends on your preference

[@mmsanrio]

I bought cilantro 2 years in a row for my Guinea pigs & ended up wearing gloves to touch it! 😂 I don’t care for the taste or smell. And in no time, they dried up. I had them in full sun outside. Oops! Good to know they need to be separated! You’re brilliant! 😊

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thanks!

[@teuth]

extremely divisive herb, that cilantro. polarising even.

[@PrinzPapiertuete]

So my indian girl friend and i love coriander and bam, my boy Sheffield drops a video about it.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Perfect!

[@madiprincejunior]

why you don't use the coriander that you cutted? 😕😢

This is great for potted plants but how do you preserve store bought cut coriander bunches? I wrap them in paper towel and put in storage bag with air removed and this seems to preserve them. I do refrigerate them. Any other tips?

That sounds about right

[@suzybabyukable]

I freeze them, just snip from frozen over cooked meal.

Aren't the potted herbs sprayed with growth inhibitors so customers can't extend the plant's life and need to keep buying more from the store?

down with cilantro! no one listen to this so all cilantro plants give up the ghost. sorry. it tastes like old cheap soap to me. carry on. 😂

Apparently the world is divided into two sorts of people: those who believe the world is divided into two sorts of people and those who don’t. There are cilantro lovers and cilantro haters. Some taste a soapy character in the herb.
