How do I make my cilantro bushy?

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 growing so tall?

Be mindful of cilantro’s growing season. The plants do well in cool weather— spring and fall in most places. When the weather gets warm, cilantro will send up tall shoots that will flower, signaling that their harvest season is over.

What do I do if my cilantro is too tall?

Begin trimming the outer leaves from the plant once it reaches about 6 inches high. Don’t cut the inner leaves; instead keep these on the plant so the cilantro can continue growing and producing until it flowers.

Can you eat cilantro after it bolts?

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.

Can you regrow cilantro in water?

Does cilantro grow better inside or outside?
