00:0010 Gardening Mistakes You Could Be Doing With Your Cilantro
00:03Using Stale Seeds
00:06Old or poorly stored seeds germinate poorly.
00:10Use fresh seed within 6 months and store it in a cool, dry place.
00:15Overcrowding Your Seedlings
00:17Crowded seedlings become spindly and disease-prone.
00:21Thin or space plants 6 to 8 inches apart for airflow and vigor.
00:26Ignoring cilantro's bolting behavior.
00:28Heat triggers bolting and bitter leaves.
00:32Sow in cool seasons and choose bolt-resistant varieties to prolong harvests.
00:37Skipping Succession Sowing
00:39Without succession sowing, harvest slaps.
00:43Sow small batches every 2 to 3 weeks for continuous, fresh foliage.
00:49Neglecting Soil Preparation
00:50Compacted or nutrient-poor soil can significantly stunt plant growth.
00:55Before sowing, incorporate compost, drainage amendments, and well-rotted manure to improve soil structure and fertility.
01:03Ensuring the pH level is adjusted to fall within the optimal range of 6.2 to 6.8.
01:10Over-watering or under-watering inconsistently.
01:14Inconsistent watering stresses.

01:35Harvesting incorrectly.
01:37Over-harvesting weakens plants.
01:40Snip outer stems near the base, preserving central growth for continued branching and yields.
01:46Planting at the wrong time of year.
01:47Cilantro prefers cool temperatures.
01:51Sow early spring or late summer-fall.
01:54Provide shade in hot regions to reduce bolting.
01:58Disregarding light requirements.
02:01Too little sun causes legginess.
02:03Excessive heat accelerates bolting.
02:06Provide 4 to 6 morning sun hours with afternoon protection.
