Can cilantro be grown from cilantro roots?
Cilantro roots can be used to grow cilantro. As long as the cilantro root is intact, it can be used to grow cilantro. Don't throw away the cilantro roots. Plant them in flower pots or hydroponically. They can grow to about 10 centimeters in about a month and can grow one crop after another.
How to grow coriander roots
1. Cut off the leaves
When buying cilantro at the market, choose cilantro with relatively intact roots, as these roots will grow faster. After bringing the cilantro home, take a pair of scissors and cut off the leaves about 5 centimeters from the root. The remaining cilantro roots can then be planted.
2. Hydroponics
Cilantro roots can be grown hydroponically. Simply cut a mineral water bottle in half, insert the top half downwards into the bottom half, and the hydroponic container is ready. This container allows water to pass through perfectly, making it an excellent hydroponic device for growing vegetables . Besides cilantro roots, you can also grow scallions, garlic, celery , and other vegetables.
3. Planting
Place the coriander roots into a hydroponic container, add water until it covers the roots, and change the water every two days.
4. Maintenance
Place the planted coriander roots in a well-lit indoor location; otherwise, the coriander will not be able to photosynthesize, and the leaves will turn yellow.
