Cilantro is a fragrant herb that can serve as a great addition to meat, fish and vegetable dishes. In the article you will learn about the features of caring for and growing a plant.
Care
To grow cilantro in your garden, you need a well-lit, draft-free area. Cilantro grows well in partial shade, but the shadow is contraindicated for it: the bushes grow weak, with a small number of leaves and quickly form flower arrows, and the fruits are small and ripen for a long time.
This plant loves sunny areas. In the shade, it grows weakly and cannot collect essential oils, which give it taste and aroma. Without them, cilantro is a common weed. Likes neutral or slightly acidic soil.
How long does it take for cilantro to grow
In February-March, cilantro can be planted in a greenhouse, then the flower stalks will be somewhere on the 40th day after seed germination. If the crops are made later, that is, in May-June, flower stalks can be expected already on the 20th day.
Do I need to water cilantro
During the dry season, cilantro needs to be watered frequently, otherwise the leaves will become coarse and the grass will not be as tasty. Regularly weed weeds, loosen the beds, and thin them out so that between the plants there is 8-10 cm of free space.
