In one night, something ate my potted cilantro leaves. What could it be?
Most likely slugs are the culprit.
Here is a link for you on slug control.

If I cut my cilantro, will it keep producing new leaves and stalks? Where is the best place to cut? The grocery store has the entire stalk. Is that how I should cut or should I just cut leaves? Thanks.

I am not a gardener and know nothing about it, but I love cilantro so I bought a small cilantro plant to keep indoors. I didn't cut it as frequently as I should have and it has grown to about 2 feet tall and has started bolting. Is there a way to tame my plant and keep it still growing without the flowers, or do I have to just start over?
Once the plant has bolted it is going to seed and is done now for the season.
Remember though that the flowers are also edible and can be used in cooking or salads.

I live in Jamaica, Caribbean. I have started doing container gardening recently and sowed some cilantro seeds in small baking pans and small containers. They came up very nice. But I see only the first set of leaves for the past two to three weeks. The plants are tall, slender and very, very tender too. Even watering makes them bend. Haven't used any fertilizer. The seedlings are in a good potting mix. What am I doing wrong?
Cilantro can be tricky to germinate, your not alone in these issues.

The cilantro grew in a clay pot that has stock bulbs growing in it. Is it safe to eat or get seed to use?
As long as the Cilantro has not bee treated with any chemicals it is perfectly safe to harvest and eat.
I planted cilantro by seed, also last year with success. My daughter wants some for her window sill that gets great morning sunlight. The seedlings have sprouted and now are about 2 1/2 inches high. Do I cover them 1/2 way up with soil now? I cannot plant them outside, as we live in Mn. How do I care and what do I do now? I am scared they will become too tall and fall over? HELP!!!
Are the seedlings floppy or spindly as well? If so, you might have leggy seedlings, which are caused by insufficient light. You can read more about leggy seedlings via the following article:

If there is room in your seed flats, you could carefully add just enough soil to the base of the cilantro seedlings to support them upright if they are really in danger of falling over.

If I cut the top off of the center stem of my cilantro, will it die? I have read conflicting harvesting explanations for cilantro and I snipped the center thickest stem. I am concerned that it may die.

Rest easy - you did nothing to cause your cilantro to die. When a plant is mature, right before it bolts (flowers), it makes a central stalk. By cutting the stalk, you just delayed flower formation by a little bit.
