Powdery mildew shows up as a powder-like white coating that covers the foliage during hot, dry weather. Prevention is providing well-drained soil, not overwatering, and thinning plants so they have good air circulation around them. An overabundance of moisture and poor air circulation contribute to leaf spot. Leaf spot appears on the plant as tiny yellow spots which turn into larger dark yellow or brown spots.

Sometimes cilantro has issues with leaf spot. It’s spread by aphids, so keep them away. It causes stunted growth and causes leaves to change color. Carrot Motley DwarfĬarrot motley dwarf is a combination of viruses that attack cilantro, carrot, dill, and parsley. You can’t kill nematodes with nematicides, so buy resistant varieties, be careful not to spread soil via tillers and shovels because it will spread the nematodes, and rotate crops with brassicas. If your plants seem stunted and wilt during the day, only to perk up at night, you may have root knot nematodes. Check out our guide for identifying and controlling them. Cutworms nibble plants at the base, killing them. The other insect to watch out for is the dreaded cutworm. That said, if aphids are a problem spray with soapy water or use Safer soap spray. Problems and Solutions for Growing Cilantro AphidsĬilantro is often used to repel bugs so it rarely has serious insect problems. Mulch helps keep the soil cool and moist.

Fertilizer should be high in nitrogen – use 1/4 cup for every 25 feet of rows. Use a good organic fertilizer such as fish emulsion. FertilizingĬilantro needs to be fertilized twice per growing season. Once established, reduce the water slightly. Make sure it gets an inch of water per week when it’s young. Growing cilantro needs to be kept moist as it grows quickly. Cover plants if the weather unexpectantly dips below freezing. While cilantro likes cool weather it doesn’t tolerate frost. When transplanting, space them 6-8 inches apart in rows spaced about one foot wide. Thin so seedlings are eight inches apart if you want both leaf and seed development. It contains two or more seeds, much like a beet. Plant them 1/4 inch deep and cover lightly with soil. You can also direct sow starting about a week before your last frost date.Ĭilantro doesn’t have a long lifespan in the leaf stage, so try successive sowings every two to three weeks. Seeds take approximately seven to ten days to sprout at 65-70☏. Start four weeks before your last frost date. Since cilantro likes cool weather, it’s often easier to start seeds indoors if you live in an area that gets hot early and transplant after danger of frost. If your soil is heavy or clay, consider placing it in a raised bed or pot. Soil RequirementsĬilantro appreciates well-draining, loamy soil, with lots of compost and a pH of 5.5-7.0. Of course, this just means you can wait and harvest the seeds to eat or save for next year’s crop. In summer I place mine with my greens in a location that gets morning sun and afternoon shade.Ĭilantro bolts quickly in hot weather. If you are growing in spring or fall then place with your lettuce in a sunny but cool location.

Sun RequirementsĬoriander is a cool weather plant and can be put in full sun or light shade with 4-6 hours of sunlight per day. It’s open-pollinated and ready to harvest in 55 days. CaribeĬaribe produces an abundance of leaves and lots of pollinator-attracting flowers. It has excellent bolt resistance with a similar harvest schedule as Santo. It’s stockier and more upright than Calypso. The leaves are large and do well for bunching. CruiserĬruiser is a hybrid that was developed for the market. It takes 50-55 days for leaf harvest and 90-105 for seed. The flower also attracts pollinators.Īn open-pollinated variety, the leaves have a mild flavor. Santo is slow to bolt and produces beautiful, edible flowers, which make a nice topping for salads and Mexican dishes. It’s an open-pollinated variety that grows to 18 inches tall. Harvest in 50-55 days for leaves and 120-150 days for seed. I like this variety for making fresh salsa. CalypsoĬalypso is a bushy variety that produces lots of leaves. In the United States, we refer to the leaves as cilantro and the seed as coriander. I am not sure why they ended up with two different names. Cilantro and coriander are the same plant.
