Cilantro prices are soaring, 39.9 yuan per jin, grow a pot at home for free

?I don't know if everyone has heard about the flood in Shouguang recently, the news has been talking about it all this time. As the saying goes, when one place is in trouble, help comes from all sides, Huahua saw that many people have done their humble part for Shouguang. At times like this, we especially need to stand united and work together to get through this difficult time!

Why is Huahua talking about Shouguang today? It's because vegetable prices have really gone up a lot recently. Huahua saw online that cilantro in Shouguang is already selling for 39.9 yuan per jin! That really is sky-high priced produce! So, Huahua thought it would be so nice to grow a pot of cilantro at home. As a seasoning-type vegetable in our daily life, cilantro is usually only used to add a bit of flavor and we don't eat much of it, so growing one pot at home is just right. When you want some, just pick a little, no trouble at all.

Cilantro is actually very easy to grow. After bringing cilantro seeds home, rub the seeds apart with both hands and soak them in water for about 6-8 hours. This is to shorten the time it takes for cilantro to sprout, so we can eat cilantro sooner! Generally speaking, as long as the air temperature and humidity are suitable, seedlings will emerge in about half a month.

If you think growing from seed is too slow, you can also choose to use cilantro roots and plant them in soil. Keep them out of light for a few days, and once the cilantro grows leaves, you can move it into the sun for care.

Cilantro is not very picky about soil. Generally speaking, as long as the potting soil for plants has good air permeability, decent looseness, and is fertile, that's enough. Cilantro is the same. If conditions allow, you can also use some soil containing more organic matter, which will be even more beneficial to the plant's growth.

Cilantro also doesn't have very high requirements for light. Just like ordinary plants, remember to shade cilantro in high-temperature weather, and you can also place it in a spot indoors with indirect light.

During the growth process, cilantro needs a certain amount of water to support its growth. At this time, you can slightly increase the amount of watering, but don't water too much. Each time you water, just moisten the surface layer of the soil. Be sure not to let cilantro end up with standing water, otherwise the roots will rot.

Some friends are impatient. If you want cilantro to grow faster at this point, you can choose to add a little quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer to the cilantro. Generally, in just half a month you can eat fresh cilantro. No need to go to the supermarket to buy that sky-high priced cilantro! This way you can also save a lot of money!

Actually, it's not just cilantro. You can choose to grow a pot of any home-style vegetable you want to eat at home. Although planting may be a bit busy, after picking and eating it, that flavor is not ordinary good! For example, growing some cherry tomatoes, garlic chives, ginger, and so on are all very good choices.

Finally, I hope everyone will pray for Shouguang.
