Certified ExpertA.Once it bolts, it cannot be reversed. It is best to replant new seeds. Actually, with cilantro, it is best to plant new seeds every few weeks to keep a constant supply of cilantro growing. It is annual, so will not come back next year.

June 2, 2014Q.something eating cilantro seedling roots
I am growing cilantro from seed in my garden. The seedlings are just a couple inches tall with a couple pairs of true leaves. However, each morning one or two of them have been laying dead wilted on the soil. Once I pull the seedling up, what little root it had appears to have been eaten. Any suggestions on where to start looking for the cause?

I have a Cilantro plant that has bolted and I'm wondering if I transplant it to another pot to keep it in a cooler location if it will come back and produce the leaves again?

June 15, 2015A.If your plants have already flowered, you can harvest the seed to grow more. These articles should help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/herbs/cilantro/cilantro-bolting.htm

June 26, 2015Q.Cilantro (Coriander)
What do I do with my cilantro once it has bolted? I have read about harvesting the seeds, but at the moment the plant is taking over my herb garden! It's about three foot tall and quite wide. It's my first herb garden. Should I cut it back? From what I've read, it's only the young leaves that should be harvested, so should I take it out? Thank you.

July 16, 2015Q.cilantro picking
When picking cilantro, parsley, oregano, or basil, do you use the stems and flowers, especially cilantro? It says, use 1/3 top, but doesn't say anything about using the stems. I want to dry it for the family, not just sure how to pick it. On parsley, use leaves. For basil, you use leaves. Just trying my luck at growing herbs, not sure how much you use for drying in a dehydrator for a later date. Can you use stems and cut up in small pieces with the dried stuff.
