Growing Directions:
Cilantro (also called coriander) is very difficult to grow hydroponically. We recommend growing micro cilantro in soil. Germination of cilantro microgreens is erratic - with some emerging at about a week, and some seeds taking longer, so be patient with them.
Sow quite thickly on a bed of lightly compacted soil. Cover with a thin layer of soil or vermiculite (1/4 inch) and tamp very lightly. Cover in a humidity dome and mist as needed to keep the top layer medium damp. Cilantro micro greens grow slowly and prefer cooler temperatures (under 70 degrees), especially during germination. Experiment with placing your germinating trays in much cooler areas.
