Growing cilantro on the balcony with just 2 "clever tricks": even sprouting, fast growth, pick one round and another round grows

Keeping plants at home is a living habit for many people, and growing vegetables at home is nothing new either. Nowadays many people not only grow some flowers and plants at home, but also grow some common vegetables on the balcony. They can serve as ornamental potted plants and can also be picked for eating; first of all, vegetables you grow yourself are convenient to eat and free from pollution. Growing cilantro, lettuce, and leaf lettuce at home means you don't need to buy vegetables for long-term consumption.

Compared with growing flowers, growing vegetables on the balcony is a bit simpler. Today I'll share with you a little trick for growing cilantro on the balcony. Cilantro is a must-have vegetable on many family dining tables, and many people like to eat cilantro. According to research, eating cilantro can play an anti-cancer role. It can improve the human body's antioxidant capacity. So today I'll teach you to grow cilantro on the balcony. It can serve as an ornamental potted plant and can also be picked as an edible vegetable.

Clever trick one

It is now the cool autumn season, suitable for planting cilantro. Planted now, cilantro can sprout in 1 week, and after winter arrives, with normal care there will be a steady supply of cilantro to pick and eat; so when planting cilantro, be sure to plant it this way for a high germination rate.

1. Prepare fresh cilantro seeds, as such seeds have a high germination rate; then place the seeds in a 5-10 degree environment for one day, because low temperature can promote rapid germination of cilantro seeds later on;

2. After low-temperature treatment, crush the round cilantro seeds, so that the cilantro seeds can fully germinate and the germination rate will be greatly increased. Soak the crushed seeds in clean water for two days. When you see white spots growing on the seeds, it means sprouting has been successfully induced.

3. Prepare a flower pot and soil. The flower pot can be chosen according to your own preference. For the soil for growing cilantro, ordinary flower-growing soil can be used directly: 1 part garden soil, 1 part river sand, 2 parts humus soil thoroughly mixed. Evenly scatter the prepared cilantro seeds in the flower pot, then cover with a layer of fine sand 5 mm thick. Cover the flower pot with a plastic bag, place the pot on an indoor balcony for one week, and when you see dense little cilantro sprouts, remove the plastic bag and care for it normally.

Clever trick two

When growing cilantro later on, place it on a balcony with good lighting, because cilantro likes light for growth. Water only after the soil dries out each time. Generally, after two weeks of normal care, the cilantro can be picked and eaten; if the cilantro in the pot is dense, you can directly pull the cilantro seedlings out by the roots during the first harvest. After thinning, when picking cilantro later, you can pick the cilantro leaves each time, so that the cilantro can keep growing. Throughout the whole winter, one pot of cilantro is enough for everyone in the family to eat.

For flower lovers who like growing potted vegetables at home, you can also grow some other vegetables at home. Lettuce, leaf lettuce, and spinach can all be grown in flower pots. They are good-looking and edible, and the key point is that vegetables you grow yourself can be eaten with confidence.
