Seed Needs Culantro Seeds to Plant Heirloom Non-GMO Culinary Herbs 5 Packs

It gave me some trouble trying to get the seed to germinate. But then I realized it's from a tropical region. So when the temperature outside warmed up to be regularly more in the 80's during the day and only in the 70's at night, I put some outside to sprout before bringing back inside for my hydroponic herb garden. Sill it took almost 4 weeks before anything showed. One of the things many seed companies leave off of their packets is the Germination temperature. There are different ranges touted on line, but the one I'm going with is 80-85°F (27-29°C). And the average germination time is long. Ranging from 14 to as long as 30 days. Plus the seeds should not be covered as they need light to sprout. And they must remain moist. If you google information on Culantro, be sure google didn't change it to Cilantro, or include Cilantro in the results.

Nothing sprouted i mean not one seeds didn’t look good from the start had a feeling they were gonna be duds i was correct

They germinated better than average. Beautiful plant and tasty in soups

I love it. It grow quick.

I was skeptical based on bad reviews of no germination. I planted maybe a dozen and I had a few germinate. Initially I thought they were done for but after a few weeks they came up. Just be patient. The culantro plants grow very small root structures but can last a very long time producing flavorful leaves. Just cut the flowers off as they come up to keep the leaves growing and tender.

Awesome

IF YOU CANNOT GERMINATE: First, read the instructions for those who didn't get them to germinate. I like probably others sowed it under a small layer of dirt. I wasted a whole packet and weeks waiting for it to germinate. Please sow the seeds ON TOP of the soil, provide ample light, hydration, humidity and HEAT. I threw up a Zoo Med large heating pad to the side of the tank where the seeds were and misted daily to keep the humidity up. Worked like a charm. If you're using a seed starter system, put the heating pad underneath of the seed container but be sure the platform can take direct heat for long periods of time. You can get a thermometer electrical system if you're worried and set the temperatures between 80-90 for operating temps. My second go around I did top of dirt sowing and added a heating pad to the side of my tank to raise the thermal temp of the dirt. It worked like a charm but it appears to be regular cilantro and some rogue purple leafed plant. I'll continue to grow it but it wasn't what I wanted given how I was growing them in a spare tank for inside herbs during the winter months. I'll raise the stars if any turns out to be actual culantro which is doubtful at this point. Edit: Turns out that a majority of them are in fact Culantro. Raising a star. Keeping one off as the seed pack wasn't pure. What looked like normal Cilantro looks to be some kind of carrot - the other two plants are still a mystery . It seems Culantro is a slow grower when growing inside. That's OK, their tender leaves and VERY robust flavor suffices. Will upload new photos of progress.

Me llego el paquete de dos artículos pero no me llega el tercer producto. Me falta las semillas de culantro. Yo anhelaba tenerlo para sembrar esta primavera.
