RE: DIY - Urban Gardening - Our Cilantro Pot - Honolulu Hawaii
Hey I have trouble growing it too. It seems to grow best I noticed in my compost bucket where I toss rotting garden scraps. To me this means it likes deep, fast draining, super nutrient rich soil to help it grow fast and strong. Super picky herb. I know it grows much easier in warm tropical climates, yet it prefers slight shade.
Good luck! Did you get yours to germinate outdoors? The photo looks like it is in a covered area. Let me know if you have any tips. I am about to try starting some lettuce seeds soon.
I just threw the seeds in a pot and lightly covered it with soil. It is growing the lanai in our condo in the city of Honolulu Hawaii. I am not able to get my Lettuce to start indoors because they get super long and stretch. I just ordered some grow lights and will try that.
