How to Grow Cilantro in a Pot?
Growing Cilantro in a pot is super easy. Prepare a 6-8 inches tub with a well-draining rich medium. Sprinkle overnight soaked cilantro seeds evenly on the surface. Cover it with a thin film of loose soil.
Moisten the bed and provide it with 3-4 hours of bright morning sunlight. The seeds will germinate within a week, and fresh herbs will be ready for harvest in 15-20 days.
Harvest the fresh when they grow 6-8 inches tall for crunchy, pungent flavor. Remember to cut only 3/4th of the size to boost further growth.
