Cilantro seeds have a fairly hard outer shell, so sowing them the usual way results in slow sprouting: the fast ones take 17-18 days, while the slow ones take more than 20 days. Here is a method for getting cilantro to sprout quickly: spread the cilantro seeds out on a flat surface and use the sole of a cloth shoe or another not-too-hard flat object to rub them evenly with gentle pressure until the outer shell cracks (never crush them), then soak them in warm water at 30-45 degrees Celsius for 2-3 days before sowing at the right soil moisture. With good management, they generally sprout 12-13 days after sowing.
