Tips on Growing Coriander from the Supermarket (fresh cilantro all summer!)

You've seen and even bought pots of coriander from the supermarket, hoping that it lives a long time. Sadly, most of the time, it will die, or at least fail to thrive, within about a week. This is the way to save that coriander and keep it producing leafy green herbs for up to a month! I also share a better way to keep yourself in leafy green coriander/cilantro all summer long.

Quick tip you can crack the whole round seeds with a dough roller and you will find inside it there are 3 to 4 seeds that will be more plants and it will germinate faster. Learned that from an Indian farmer tried it and it works great.

Hey Tan !. I raided Tesco yesterday, i got like £40 worth of trays and my potted herbs. Still need tarragon, coriander, dill, marjoram and oregano. We have a plant swap coming up, so trying to hold out for that. Had to go back to work to get my heart, body and mind out of the garden. Cut and come again. Oh i got 4 new types of kale too, never heard of them. Yay. You could be a Pleiadian female, easy.

A fantastic video Tanya and Coriander is a herb I use frequently so it would be worth growing my own. I have been planting tomatoes, sweet pepper and cucumber plants in the greenhouse. I also planted seed potatoes and onion sets. I have also been planting Raspberry canes in the fruit bed area.

My cilantro seeds are coming up! Got one container in the sun and one in the shade to see where it grows best.

Awesome! Three days ago I discussed exactly this issue with a friend; and two days later you upload this video. :-D Highly appreciated! Thank you! Thank you! :-)

I like this idea, though we don't usually have potted cilantro in our grocery store. Can you pinch off the bolts on cilantro growing outside like you can do with basil? I'm usually too late when it gets hot outside. One day pretty cilantro leaves and the next day, bolting. So, for cilantro I do succession planting in an indoor greenhouse in order to have it fresh all year. A six pot rotation works well, and any extra is dehydrated.

In my area of the US I can extend the outdoor basil growing season by 2-3 months when all the bolts are pinched off (and dehydrated!). We let one plant bolt for the seeds and for spices. And basil also does well in the indoor greenhouse.

Thank you for your informative and interesting channel!

Thanks Tanya ! Great useful tips as the family recently got excited to start exploring farm to table, your tips definitely give a boost of confidence to our excitement !

Nice to see you filming in the Polycrub, Tanya. I suspect you will fill it up very quickly. It’s such a wonderful sturdy structure.

I grow supermarket coriander and parsley. Mint I have wild behind the greenhouse, ditto watercress in the pond.

Hello Tanya Lovely Greens . Great video. Thank You. I was wondering i bought some Coriander and Cumin seeds from an online spice seller to make powders for curries etc . If i planted these do you think they may grow? Or are they treated with something to make them sterile for consumption and thus stopping them been able to grow. Thank you Bye.

actually, in India we get coriander all year and we actually get it pretty cheap and i have actually asked my mum if we could plant them so that we could just have our own little plant at home but my mum always says "Why take the trouble when you get this cheap and well i also noticed that my mum can grow the Coriander plants just like Fenugreek plants by just planting the seeds that we actually have in our spice this technique comes in handy when you want fresh fenugreek leaves rather than use the dried version that we Indians always keep at home when we want to make Methi Ka Paratha, which is actually a type of Indian flat bread (or Chapati as we Indians call our flat breads) that is made with all purpose flour and fresh or dried Fenugreek (or as we in India call it "Methi" the dried version of Fenugreek leaves is called "Kasuri Methi") and the whole thing is then fried in the same way we fry our And i actually just went to look into the types of coriander grown, and well, i actually found two sites one of which states that there are 7 well known verities of coriander that are grown while the other site states that there are actually 12 types of coriander the first is from "Homestratosphere" and the other is from "A Soothing

Ooo, I'm hungry for homemade salsa. We also call cilantro Chinese parsley.

These herbs are not grown as "plants" like those in the garden center, but as living food sold in a grocery. As living food versus the cut, formerly living food sold in the same grocery or supermarket. These were never intended for growing on as a plant, but to be eaten. So the producers or growers are not doing anything wrong buy planting so many seed in a single pot. People really need to understand the actual purpose of these living herbs they find in the supermarket, and not feel they've done anything in error if the plant dies when they eat from them. I think it's a great way to get truly "fresh" harvests instantly, and for maybe for a few days from the time of purchase, especially for those who cannot grow their own plants from seed. In price comparisons I've found the living ones to be about the same price or even cheaper than the ones already harvested and packaged. But, for the long term, for growing plants for months of harvests, yes, most people will be far more successful either starting their own seed, or buying individual transplants from a real garden center rather than buying these small food pots from the supermarket. Eat these, enjoy them, and let the roots go into the compost.

I would consider myself a plant killer! I love herbs, flowers everything! But I think I would give too much love.
SOMETHING IMPORTANT I MUST SAY! I bought a store coriander and didn’t get a chance to plant it in garden before it started bolting. Looked up every video to save what I could but nothing, thank goodness I had no time to remove it from garden (still in its pot!) and watched it all die! BUT! The next season came and I started seeing coriander! Left it alone (still in pot) ohps! But it flourished to a huge plant! It only started bolting once it was 2-3feet tall. I’ve just replanted to a large pot to actually care for it but wanted to say that you don’t have to throw it!! Even though it looks like a dried pile of leaves, remove them and you’ll have another plant in the next season 😊 oh and because I didn’t touch it during bolting and let it dry, I found another 8 baby plants surrounding it!!! If you have the space leave it! It will jump back and stronger!!

Thanks for this really informative video! I have a very cold kitchen (west facing, no heating in it) - do you think the coriander would grow ok in my window there, or would it need somewhere a bit warmer?

[bingebinge]

Wow, these cost 1.5 pound each now after only 1 year, which is 50% more expensive. Shocking how high inflation has been.

[Happy-tcjt]

Your hair is nice a bit wavy like this👍🌺🌼💕☀️

[MiMi-gmjs]

My transplanted coriander plants from the supermarket has been thriving for almost 3 months now and still not bolting. I couldn't be happier. :)

Hi. I have done this before, however I still prefer to grow from seeds. I have found one that does not go to seed quickly, it is called Calypso..

[mikeybyrne]

I’ve done this with mint and rosemary from the supermarket, they where only 50p each and have lasted years and grown really big.
Just got to keep the mint in a big pot because it really spreads.
