Plant seeds about 1\/4 inch deep and 1-2 inches apart, thinning to 6-8 inches when seedlings are established. For a continuous harvest, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks. Cilantro benefits from consistent moisture and mulch to keep the soil cool. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can reduce flavor. Harvest leaves regularly to encourage new growth, and allow some plants to flower for coriander seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo prevent bolting in hot weather, provide afternoon shade or grow in containers that can be moved. Cilantro is relatively pest-free but may attract aphids; monitor plants and use gentle control methods if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e100 Santo Cilantro seeds (Coriandrum sativum).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67835982381366,"sku":"FOLIA2-1494","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6522559610_kgx6.jpg?v=1793096822","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/santo-cilantro-seeds-100-seeds-coriandrum-sativum-aromatic-culinary-herb","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
