Can fresh cilantro be frozen?

A super simple way to freeze cilantro for later is to stash in a zip-top freezer bag. To do this, wash your cilantro and pat dry with a clean dishtowel. Place the sprigs in resealable bags and toss in the freezer.

Why does my cilantro always die?

The reason for a dying cilantro plant is commonly drought due to too much sun, not watering frequently enough and fast draining soil. Over watering, too much nitrogen fertilizer or pots without drainage can cause cilantro to droop and the leaves to turn yellow with a dying appearance.

How do you know when cilantro is bolted?

You will know your cilantro is beginning to bolt when it starts producing delicate leaves (not like the fat, dark green leaves commonly used for cooking) and starts to grow tall (Fig. 1). As you can see, the plant gets very tall, almost two feet in height!

How do you grow bushy cilantro?

Pinch back young cilantro plants an inch or so to encourage fuller, bushier plants. Snip off the top part of the main stem as soon as it appears to be developing flower buds or seedpods. Cutting off the flower heads redirects the cilantro plants' energy back into leaf, and not flower or seed production.

Why is my cilantro not sprouting?

Wilted cilantro is almost always a result of improper watering. Too much water will cause the thin stems of cilantro to wilt, compromising the plant's structure. To avoid this, make sure to plant your cilantro in well drained soil.

How much space does cilantro need?

Planting and Spacing: Plant cilantro seeds ½ inch deep and space 2 inches apart if you are planning to use the plant for its leaves. For coriander seed, space the seeds 8-10 inches apart. Rows should be at least 15 inches apart.
