How to keep supermarket herbs alive (+ make them thrive!) | grow cilantro/coriander indoors

Here are some tips on how to keep supermarket herbs alive and how to take care of supermarket herbs! I will discuss repotting, lighting conditions, when to water, and how to harvest cilantro (coriander). I've been using these strategies to help my cilantro thrive and grow full and bushy indoors. In this video I'll also share what my cilantro looks like 2 weeks after buying it from the supermarket.

This is awesome! We have basil growing in an old teapot (which is very British vibes for me, although I'm in Canada haha)

My cilantro is dying, I bought one like this. It wilted pretty fast I didn’t repot it though. I may have to do this next time I buy herbs. Thanks for the tip.

I love your content. Love from India. I love house plants as well so very relatable content. Also have traveled to UK extensively so can imagine what would be the weather like as per the months described in your updates. Keep up the good work.

Hello, I am looking to keep my coriander/mint/basil etc outside in individual pots what type of soil mix would you recommend? I have read that some contain chemicals or heavy metals

I have some hearing impairment and when a video has music it is hard to make out some of the words and in your harvesting section the music was too loud for me to hear exactly what you said. I heard "....you can start by harvesting the ??? stems..." What is the ??? word that you said? I heard "lady" but I'm pretty sure that is incorrect. :-)
