    Cilantro is the leaf of the coriander plant. Cilantro is used in many different dishes. 

    Cilantro is a fast-growing, aromatic annual herb that does best in cooler spring and fall weather.

    Many people think that growing cilantro is difficult. This article covers everything you need to know on how deep to plant Cilantro seed.

    If you follow these few tips for growing cilantro, you will succeed

    How Deep Should Cilantro Seeds be Planted? 

    Plant cilantro seeds 0.6cm deep. You cannot put cilantro seeds directly on the ground.

    Planting deeper than 1.3cm is likely to prevent cilantro from sprouting. Place three seeds in each hole to fill your garden with enough plants for the season.

    Garden beds with at least 18 inches of soil work best for cilantro. However, you can get by with a five-gallon container. 

    The root depth of mature cilantro plants reaches a depth of 20 to 45 cm. Cilantro thrives in garden beds that are at least 45 cm deep. Plant roots reach a depth of 20 to 45 cm. 

    Cilantro seeds cannot be planted in the ground. They will dry out and not germinate. Or they could be blown away, eaten by birds, or otherwise disturbed. 

    Clay soil protects the seeds best and keeps them moist. 

    You can’t just put cilantro seeds on the ground. 

    The seeds will dry out or fall out if not covered. 

    Clay soil is best for keeping seeds protected and hydrated.

    Now that you have been informed on how deep to plant Cilantro seeds here are a few tips you should employ while planting:

    Cover the Cilantro Seeds With Soil

    Always cover cilantro seeds with soil.

    The seeds should have at least 6mm of soil on top to germinate. 

    Always cover cilantro seeds with at least 6 mm of soil. 

    A thin layer of soil will help hold the seeds in place until they germinate. 

    Also, it helps the seeds stay moist enough to initiate the germination process. 

    Cover the cilantro seeds with 6mm of soil when planting. 

    The soil helps hold the seeds in place until they germinate.

    A layer of soil also ensures that the seeds stay moist enough. 

    Cilantro seeds germinate best in a nutrient-rich, loamy soil. 

    Make your clay soil by mixing equal parts garden soil, compost, and sand. 

    Cilantro seeds germinate faster when placed in a fertile, loamy soil. 

    This soil type has the perfect balance of clay, silt, and sand.

    To create your ideal soil mix, combine apart each of the garden soil, sand, and compost. 

    This will deliver a good bed for your cilantro.

    Space Adequately While Planting 

    Plant up to three cilantro seeds per planting hole. 

    Seeds should be planted  1 to 2 inches apart and about 1/4 to 1/2 inches deep. 

    Thin seedlings  6 to 8 inches apart. Rows of cilantro plants should be at least a foot apart to allow for good air circulation. It should sprout in 1-2 weeks. 

    The extra seeds compensate for the low germination rate of cilantro. 

    Cut back extra seedlings to ground level so as not to disturb the roots. 

    After germination, thin the seedlings into a plant every 5cm.

    Do not pull out seedlings and try to replant them. 

    Instead, cut off the excess at the base so as not to disturb the roots. 

    Don’t Plant Cilantro Seeds Too Deep

    It is possible to plant cilantro seeds too deep. 

    Ideally, they should be 0.6cm to 1.3cm deep. 

    Anything deeper and the seeds cannot sprout. 

    Your cilantro seedlings will not have enough energy to penetrate more than 1.3cm of soil.

    Deeply buried cilantro seeds suffocate and die when trying to germinate. 

    It’s easy to plant cilantro seeds too deep. 

    Planting cilantro seeds too deep can result in poor germination. 

    The model planting depth balances seed preservation with closeness to the surface.

    Each plant has its planting depth range. 

    An ideal planting depth keeps the seeds moist and well protected. 

    But it also allows them to stay close enough to the surface to sprout without running out of energy. 

    Each plant has its ideal depth based on seed size, casing hardness, and other key characteristics. 

    Employ a Balanced Fertilizer 

    cilantro doesn’t usually need fertilizer to grow successfully, but it doesn’t hurt to treat it monthly with an organic herb mix. 

    Apply a 10-10-10 balanced fertilizer every 2 weeks. 

    Also, feel free to mix nutritious compost or other organic matter into your soil to help plants thrive.

    cilantro plants generally adapt to a slightly shorter container.

    You only need to water and fertilize cilantro more frequently if you plant it in less than 45 cm of soil. 

    Add a 10-10-10 organic fertilizer every two weeks. 

    The soil must always remain moist. 

    Avoid getting it too soaked. 

    FAQ

    Do I soak cilantro seeds before planting?

    To maximize the likelihood that the cilantro seeds will germinate, you must prepare them before planting them in the ground. The husk that connects the two seeds should be gently crushed. For 24 to 48 hours, soak the cilantro seeds in water.

    Is it hard to grow cilantro from seed?

    In the summer, cilantro is simple to cultivate and quickly sets seed. The umbel (cluster) of blooms that develops at the plant’s apex is very alluring to good predatory insects. The key is to give the cilantro plant deep soil for its roots, try growing it in some shade, harvest cilantro frequently, and resow it numerous times.

    How many cilantro seeds are in a hole?

    Per hole, plant up to three cilantro seeds. The extra seeds make up for the germination rate of 50% to 70%. In rows that are 12 inches (30 cm) apart, space the seeds every 2 inches (5 cm). In 1-2 weeks, the seedlings should begin to emerge.

    What month do you plant cilantro?

    Plant in the fall or early spring in the South and Southwest, approximately a month before the last frost. In zones 8, 9, and 10, fall is the best time to sow since the seeds will survive until the weather warms up in late spring. Plant cilantro in the North in the late spring.

    Should cilantro seeds float?

    Put your seeds in a container of water to conduct a water test. Give them roughly 15 minutes to sit. The seeds are still viable even if they sink.

    Will cilantro grow back after cutting?

    Cilantro is rather simple to grow and doesn’t need any particular maintenance. Cilantro leaves will keep growing back if clipped correctly for many more harvests!

    What can you not plant with cilantro?

    Avoid planting fruit-bearing plants near your cilantro because they won’t thrive there. This includes pepper and tomato plants.

    What is the secret to growing cilantro?

    Cilantro is a great crop to grow inside or during the cooler months because it enjoys the gentler temperatures of the fall and spring. The herb can also be grown in the hot summer months. However, it often bolts – and stops growing — when temperatures exceed 80 °F.

    Final Thoughts 

    cilantro is not difficult to grow and the seeds can be planted straight into the ground.

    cilantro, when properly grown, serves as a constant source of tasty leaves. 

    If you follow the tips in this article on how deep to plant Cilantro seeds, you will succeed

    Sow the cilantro seeds 6 to 13 mm deep. 

    Make sure your garden beds have 45 cm of soil. 

    Avoid laying the seeds on the ground or pressing them too deep. 

    Cut back seedlings to one per hole after germination.

    Water and fertilize your plants more frequently when using flat soil.
