There are 111 dislikes for this video. Seriously? Who could dislike this? I have grown coriander on and off over the years and I learnt some helpful tips. Can't wait to try the green seeds which I have never heard about before. Love your work and since I'm only a few hours north I can adapt your advice easily!
OH CEMENT JOE
You could upload a video on how to easily reverse/stop aging, create lasting world peace, make everyone rich and produce abundant free, green energy….and it would still get down votes and people whining about the editing, that you need a better mic, or the camera is too shaky.
And that isn’t new….see the old Aesop’s fable about the granddad and grandson taking a donkey to market, and no matter how they do it (all 3 walk, grandpa rides the donkey, the boy rides the donkey, they both ride the donkey, they carry the donkey)…some passerby complains that it’s wrong.
111 people that can't grow cilantro lol
It’s probably for the pun with which he opens the video.
Happily, dislikes aren’t visible in Australian zone any more. So those dickheads are just shouting into the void.
To prevent coriander from bolting, plant it in partial shade to shade. It's an excellent shade herb. The cooler temperature is what keeps bolting at bay since once temps hit 80F and up, that's it's signal to go. Full sun is a bit too hot for their delicate leaves and to protect itself from frying in direct sun, it will start a new generation as it goes to seed. Also, frequent harvesting of the tips makes it bushier and gives the plant longevity.
Delfino: there are actually two cots in each coriander seed, not just one. To encourage sprouting from seed, crack the seed lightly. Some use a rolling pin but this often damages one or the other (they aren't very sturdy in there). Alternatively, press them by curling sandpaper around them and giving them a buff in your palm. This allows the casing to soften more readily when watered which signals to the young cot that it's OK to come out and sprout.
Also if starting indoors, keep them warm like any other seed to mimic the sun's springtime warmth under the soil. Blue temps are best for sprouting light since it mimics spring sun temps (more blue) which encourages sprouting. Warmer temp light (more yellow/red) mimics late summer harvest sun and signals more flowering, fruiting, and going to seed.
Dmn I luv science. I use it everywhere. :D
Let us know if it worked. :)
Thank you.
A question: What degree of shade do you, generally, recommend? 20%? 50%? Etc. Ballpark. I’m prepared to fail, and learn, but a good starting point always helps.
Regardless, thanks again.
@@k.chriscaldwell4141 We all screw up cilantro first time, I think. Mostly because we believed all plants want full sun as long as they can get it. But the rule of thumb is the more delicate the leaf, the less direct sun it can take. Silky thin leaves like cilantro love full sun, but in smaller doses. This can be done in a few different ways.
First way is, partial shade made by the sun passing over a house. If cilantro gets full sun for a few house on one side, it's still happy in bright shade when the sun moves over the house to the other side.
Another way is to plant in sun dappled areas with a brief direct sun period - either morning or afternoon - shooting under the canopy.
A third way is to plant behind taller bushier plants so sun to cilantro is dappled in a full sun garden.
A 4th way is to plant in deck boxes in north exposure ... bright light with a few hours of direct sun over the roof. Hours of sun is less important than intensity.
The rule of thumb for soil is if there are repeat crops, the same plant strips soil of the same nutrients needed by the next batch, so turn some compost or fertilizer or vermicompost into the planting hole and let it go its way. Cilantro hates drought so a container that holds some water in a bit of bottom mud works better than a well drained container. Deck boxes need to drain, but you can still cover a few holes to slow it down for cilantro. Spindly plants that are doing well otherwise, can be pinched at top triad to force growth sideways instead of just upwards.
(I apologize if this is repeated advice, but my buggy browser drops longer responses. It's happened before on other websites so this is an abbreviated version of that. )
My mom adds corriander in every curry she makes. It makes the curry taste so much better. I even add them in instant noodles and pasta it just makes it so much better.
Nice to see a true-blue Aussie bloke like you appreciate corriander, Your Mrs has done the right thing getting you to like it, I am Vietnamese born Australian and I love Corriander & culantro a lot, can't live without them, Corriander is widely used in many Asian dishes especially Thai & Vietnamese cusines. they are the key herbs which can make or break a dish. Next time you do a BBQ , try season the meat with corriander & culantro extracts ( use the blender and extract liquid only so the leaves won't get burnt before the meat is cooked) you might just like the taste just like I do.. thanks for the advices my friend. and happy gardening.
My personal favourite herb of all time. The only herb in existence where you can use leaves, stems and roots!
Well, that's an exaggeration! Not the only plant that's true of... 😁
In Guatemala we call the "Mexican cilantro" samat. It is another species called Eryngium foetidum. It is used mostly in some traditional dishes. The common coriander (Coriandrum sativum), we usually call "culantro" but, also, "cilantro".
My bf and I are starting up our garden thanks to you. Your videos make the process seem so less anxiety inducing. Thank you!
Considering this was two years ago, I wish you two more amazing crops this year
Zone 4 Canada. Cilantro grows very well here. I direct sow under part shade, rather than full sun. We love it!
I couldn't understand before why it was so short-lived and bolted to seed. Thanks for explaining so much about the growing of coriander. Great tips.
Clarice Aust ...Cilantro SEED is Coriander. Period. You don't actually grow "Coriander".
In Texas we call the leafs cilantro and the seeds coriander.
At 0:46 that’s precisely what he says...
I'm in Austin and call it both. Cilantro is more popular in the south
I am farmer of coriander,india
Hi
Yup
You are really gifted! Do you know that? :) A true son of mother nature... Cheers to your efforts and keep sharing on RUclips like this. God bless you!
Love yer work, man! Great channel. I bought one coriander seedling last year and when it went to seed and dried out, I just walked around the garden shaking the (not very big) dried out plant. As soon as spring just hinted at its arrival, coriander plants were coming up all over. It sure doesn’t care much about soil quality and I wouldn’t be surprised to see one growing in a crack in the concrete driveway. Had SO much this year that I was giving away plants in pots once they were established enough to transplant. Also did a lot of transplanting around the garden to more suitable spots. Just love it. Perfect for curries and for chili/Mexican (though you gotta call it cilantro in that 😉). Keep up the great work👍
In my experience, the main challenge in growing coriander is to delay it going to seed long enough to get a decent crop of leaves from it, especially in hot weather, and it’s hot most of the time where I live. It helps some to plant selections that are bred to be “slow to bolt.” It may also help to plant it where it will get morning sun and afternoon shade. .
In the U.S., the leaves are cilantro, and the seeds are coriander.
The “seeds” are actually fruits. Each little globe contains more than one seed. Sometimes you can buy seed that has been split apart, so ot needs less thinning.

In my twenty's couldn't stand cilantro but now love it!
65 years, always been cilantro in LA. Cheers!
I have found in southern NSW that my coriander loves shade. I planted a lot of seeds down the forgotten side of the house (little sun- the neighbours house and ours are about 3 meters apart), I gave up on it and forgot about it. I discovered last spring a coriander forest! I’m now giving it a go ;) elsewhere in shady parts of the yard.
Amazing info!! I recently harvested and dried all the herbs I grew over the summer and cilantro was one that didn't do well... I then potted fall mum's in the herb containers and not kidding, cilantro is coming up in the pot it used to be in!! And now that it's cooler out, it's popping up all over! This makes me happy.
I used to hate coriander but now I absolutely love it❤
Love cilantro! Great video! Missed your "5 tips" series and glad its back! Thanks!
The only people who gives thumbs down to ur videos are definitely jealous of your successful abilities, cool humorous nature in nature & lastly they are themselves failure planter at youtube.
Or they disliked a piece of information he shared.
i think a lot might have hit by mistake.
I do agree I wish I could grow as good as the giant of a man
Love both
Point blank they need to get a life
i love growing our own herbs, saves so much money. and makes it so much easier to use. I think we use so much more due to having them on hand
I love cilantro! I have some in a container since Spring last year, in the green house. This year I transplanted in two more container to see how are coming! Thank you for sharing!
I felt the same way when I first tasted cilantro as a young person - I thought it tasted like soap☺️. Now I absolutely love it. I do have difficulty getting it to thrive like other herbs. I also live in a hot humid rainy climate (New Orleans) so your tips are particularly useful for me👍🏽
Thank you so much for doing these tutorials. Every year I try and grow something with no success, so I thought. Today, I discovered that I have the Delfino variety growing in my backyard based on the image on your seed packet. I love cilantro, so this just made me very happy. Thanks again 😄.
I have never been so enthralled while watching an informational video on growing herbs! Thanks so much!
I am in the States, and I like CORIANDER too...especially the way you say it! ❤️
Seeds are a great remedy for a cold as well
I love coriander. I plant them in autumn Tasmania (near the beach) and they do great for me. You are so right about coriander and it's flavor. I have the Eastern heritage so nothing beats coriander flavor
I love fresh herbs! I started basil inside this year as I learn how to garden by watching your videos!
I love your enthusiasm and your explanation is clear and easy to understand. I'm thinking of planting coriander this fall.
Love your tips videos keep ‘me coming. Yup we call it cilantro when leafy and the seeds coriander here.
One of my most favorite herbs! Love it!
Thanks for sharing your good tips! It's also nice to see your enthusiasm for your garden! Blessings! Grandma in WA state ☔👵🎶🐦👍
I love coriander but never had any luck with growing them myself....your video is of great help, thanks Mark!
I totally agree with you Mark I didn’t like the taste of coriander the first couple of times and then I realised my favourite Thai and Vietnamese dishes were missing that huge flavour kick without it. I am now obsessed with the taste of coriander 🌿 🥰 loving it, thanks for your tips.
Great video, and helpful tips. I love the taste of coriander. These tips will be helpful to me. I haven't had best luck growing it in past, but I'll utilize your tips.
My hubby doesn't like the spikes on the culantro either so I always have to trim them off before using the leaves.
Love your videos and love your garden!!! 😍
Hi Mark, thanks for helping me feel better about the short life of my coriander!
Thanks from Southern California. Your accent is so calming.
I find your videos extremely entertaining and informative ❤️
Great tips on growing Corriander Mark. excellent video mate. Great stuff
Dude! I love your spirit! Educational and hilarious. Blessings brother!
A tip that i have for tip #1 is you can use grow lights inside your house to grow it. I am doing that right now in the dead of winter and i have good fresh coriander!
Thanks for sharing your experience on growing coriander indoors 👍🙂
Me, too. They love the same lights as the pot plants, the lettuce, and the basil:))
nosbig64 ...you mean, you have Cilantro. Cilantro SEED is Coriander. Period. You don't actually grow "Coriander".
@@Selfsufficientme
What variety of coriander is it..???
We have different variety here It grows on the ground vertically.
Plz tell me the variety name or where can I buy seeds of your variety..??
Are you growing hydroponic? I'm trying to grow them but just no luck
Great timing. I’m going to plant coriander seeds in a garden bed I prepared today.
I have the delfino coriander/cilantro in my garden here in Texas. It bolts just as fast as the regular one and it tastes the same. I love it
Tip for the cheapskates like me: instead of buying coriander seeds marketed for gardening, buy coriander seeds sold as spice. Same seeds, often much cheaper and should still work for gardening (certainly worked for me last year)
🤔 never thought to try that. Will give it a go, cheers.
Such simple ideas like this make me feel dumb for not thinking of it myself.
I was actually wondering... I'm an American living in Italy where cilantro is just not normally sold anywhere. I found some coriander seeds in the spice rack, and I'm going to give it a shot!
@@dionhouston I found coriander in the market, but it's not always available. I'm use to cook with this therefore watching this to see if I can plant my own
Always done that with chillies and corriander(aka cilantro)
Thanks Mark, great video. I live on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria and have never had much luck in growing Coriander, it always bolts to seed when I try to grow it. After these tips I might try again. However I have grown Delfino Coriander and after many attempts have finally had some success. I just kept sowing the seeds in different spots in the garden. It does taste exactly like regular Coriander.
Thank you for the post. I placed a plant that we got from the supermarket in a large pot & we had several months of beautiful coriander. I am going to try it again soon. Mine was under a tree.
your smile and voice is very infectious . love to watch your videos when i want some information . Never saw such a talk coriander plant . congratulations and thanks
Brilliant presentation. Thank you
Love your videos Mark! I’m in Houston, Texas which is a similar climate to yours, hot and humid with long summers, and so much is similar, right down to the clay soil, ugh! Cilantro starts out great here and then just gets so sad this time of year. Going to try again as I love the flavor, especially in salads. And of course, it’s absolutely essential in our favorite condiment here in the lone star state, salsa :)
Thanks for these five tips...I really appreciate the way you delivered this video...I will follow more of your tips for sure
I HAD a cilantro patch spring up like mad last season and now I have one plant. super fragrent
First time I tasted cilantro i thought it tasted like soap. But now I love it, just puts taco into another level.
Thank u for spreading such vital knowledge.
Another great video! your my first call to learn about growing food here in France, thanks
Great tips ..thanks for sharing. I agree about the heat. It's hard to get the ingredients for salsa to be ready at the same time.
Thanks for the tips, I've found it hard to grow so hopefully better luck this year.
I will definitely give the green seeds a try next spring. Never thought about doing that. Thanks
Its called 'dhanayaka' in sanskrit or 'dhania' today and has been used in India cooking since 5000 BCE. Its a local plant to India and used to grow in wild.
Pretty much a staple in all Indian foods and is cultivated in mass quantities in India today.
I read that it was brought to India from Iran
Very nice and informative! I am in Southwest Florida dn teach botany with a school garden. I agree with everything Mark shared and learned additional information that was easy to appreciate and understand! Thanks
I love these videos! This is my favorite gardening channel!
Thanks to much for teach this important labor our self feed and no depending of to buy, and buy and buy, thanks
I am in northern Portugal .. and our temps are dropping now. But I might take your words to heart and try sowing some coriander now ... as the soil is still warm and the days pleasant. I might just get some growing in a protected bit !! You have spurred me on !
I am from Puerto Rico and we love cilantro we like using it a lot in beans and specially in soups we also add it with cilantro to something we make call sofrito
@@keeptrying_not2late2change
😊
I just love this herb
Love your videos! So great.
Your videos are so amazing!!! Do you know that? I just open my farm this year and am getting lots of vital information from you. Keep up the good work!!!!
Robson Pemba ...well, he may not be so good as you think... Cilantro SEED is Coriander. Period. You don't actually grow "Coriander".
@@ohwhatelse That would depend on part of the world and/or family. 😊 And using "wrong" words doesn't make him a worse gardener.
Great Information friend! I love cilantro! It is such an amazing plant for sure 😊
Thanks for your great tips! Maybe this year I will succeed with them and have high plants like yours.I love them.
Great tips! I will plant here.
I just harvested yesterday, amazing
Your videos Motivates me
My first attempt this year is not going well, but this year is rough for growing a lot of things. Here in northern Japan, the rainy season has meant days of gray skies and that will soon lift into continuous scorching heat.. I'm going to try some in pots, where I can control the conditions better. Thanks for another informative and entertaining video.
Are you still in japan
You had me at "take a gander at a plant called corriander"😂🤣😂 I love it... Thank you for that, you made my day!😊
LOVE CILANTRO!
Great video!
I LOVE cilantro!!!! It tastes so fresh! We have a very HOT summer and it bolts. Thank you for the tips.
Beautiful white flowers on coriander
Love this presenter.
Thanks Mark, love your work :)
love your videos mate thanks for the help!
Love all your videos! I have learned so much!!!!
Interesting and helpful video. I wonder if the strong taste that some folks talk about is due to the age of the plant. The only time I pick cilantro (which is about 3 times a week), the plants are pretty small - around 6" tall. I throw a bunch of seeds into an area or planter and then come back with scissors and treat them like micro-greens. Meanwhile, my two year old spearmint bush tastes terrible to me. I keep thinking it has to do with age of the plant. I grow quite a bit of lettuce in containers and just chop off leaves as I need them but I notice that once again, when the plant starts to get older those leaves just don't taste as good as they did when the plant was younger, smaller.
Another tip I tried recently is lay the seeds on a flat surface and gently roll them over with a glass bottle or rolling pin to split the seeds in half. This will speed up the germination. It really works.
I would never have thought to eat just the green seeds. Thank you for sharing that tip! My cilantro just came up! This is the first time I have managed to get it to sprout in my fall season... zone 8b/9a. Love your channel and your enthusiasm for gardening!
So interesting I hadn't known they were the same thing. When I got seeds for cilantro I thought they looked a lot like coriander. Lol!
I leaned a lot. Thank you sir.
How can someone not like you!? You're amazing!! Love how genuine you are!
Great tips!
Great video Mark!
would definitely say coriander is one of the easiest herbs to grow and it even self seeds so can be like a perennial if you watch for spring seedlings popping up near last years plants. im in a cold zone and it loves our weather and is reliable in spring
I like coriander too. Seeds. Brown and citrusy. I just harvested this years crop. Bumper :)
Ill try the green ones next year thanks for the tip. In Greece, its called koliandro, not that that matters.
We add the ripe seeds to our olives and haloumi. (edit: olives and haloumi)
Thank you Mark for another great informative video.
I like the way you smoosh the words together!
Cilantro is the best but I too have a hard time growing it so thanks for the tips Mark
good video mark.
I have had a few goes at this plant and all the hit and miss you talk about under both names of the plant. sneaky buggers trick you into buying the same plant by using each name. it seams plants bolting and self seeding is a great way for them to adapt to your area, conditions and watering. we have had a fair bit of success just letting the plants do their thing and reseed themselves, I collect a few seeds too ( for ron ).
most of my salad green plants are bolting to seed now with this heat, humility and rain, while they are not great to eat its good to get the seed for later.
cheers davo
Amazing content as usual. Love coriander/cilantro whatever 👏 I'm going to plant at home this autumn since it can't be found in ethnic shops here 🇮🇹. Best gardening channel 👍
It's early Jan in Perth and I've just bought some slow bolt coriander from Bunnings. Gonna try it in part shade to keep it dying in the hot sun. See how we go!
Thanks, Mark
Loved this video. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing 👍
Cilantro is a Texas staple. Love it in beans!
