Stop spending on cilantro. Embrace these 10 methods for a continuous cilantro yield.

If you’re short on space, growing cilantro in containers is a great solution. This method also allows you to easily move the plants around to manage sun exposure and temperature, both of which can affect the plant’s growth and flavor.

Cilantro prefers cooler temperatures, typically between 50 to 85°F (10–29°C). During hotter months, provide shade to prevent the plants from bolting prematurely.

Aphids and other pests can hinder your cilantro’s growth. Protect your plants by using organic pest control methods, such as neem oil or a strong jet of water to knock pests off the plants.

Cilantro likes consistent moisture, but be wary of overwatering which can lead to root rot. Water deeply and allow the top inch of soil to dry out between watering sessions.

Once your cilantro plants do bolt and produce seeds, save these coriander seeds to plant your next crop. Not only do they provide a secondary yield in terms of spice, but planting your own seeds can make the whole process more cost-effective and self-sustaining.

By embracing these methods, you can enjoy a regular and robust supply of cilantro from your own garden. Not only will this save you money, but it will also enrich your meals with the freshest flavors possible. Happy planting and harvesting!
