  • Before planting, loosen the soil to a 6-8 inches
    depth and clear away any weeds.
  • Directly sow the seeds into the prepared soil.
  • Space them approximately 6-8 inches apart.
  • Plant the seeds at a depth of ½ to ¼ inch,
    covering them lightly with soil.
  • Immediately water the seeds after planting to
    enhance soil contact.
  • Maintain soil moisture during germination, which
    typically lasts 7-14 days.

How to Harvest Cilantro?
Start harvesting when the plant reaches about 4-6
inches in height, typically 3-4 weeks after
planting.
Timing
Use clean scissors or pinch off the outer leaves
near the stem. Avoid cutting more than one-third
of the plant at a time to allow for regrowth.
Leaf Harvesting
Alternatively, you can cut the entire stem just
above the soil level if you need a larger
quantity of cilantro.
Stem Harvesting
Regular harvesting encourages new growth and
prevents the plant from bolting prematurely.
