Cilantro Window Garden

Remember the green onions I posted about a few weeks ago?

This is what they look like now, and we have been cutting and regrowing them every couple of days! I knew this would happen and I am still amazed at the rate of regrowth!

Anyway... you can apply the same method to cilantro! 

Put the Cilantro roots in a jar of water. Place the jar in a sunny spot and change the water every couple of days. 

The Cilantro does grow at a slower rate than the onion, but look how much it has grown in just a few weeks. Once the plant gets big enough you will be able to prune the leaves regularly to use for cooking without causing harm to the growth process of the plant. 

Re-Grow Your Own Green Onions

My first experiment proved to be quite simple and only required a one time purchase of green onions. (make sure the roots are still attached)

After you chop the greens off, put the roots in a glass of water. Change the water every couple of days and you will begin to see new growth.

They will grow just fine in their glass and don't require sunlight, although I have mine sitting on the kitchen windowsill. However, if you feel the need to pot them (as I did with a few below) feel free to do so.

I have three small jars with two or three green onions in each, and 5 plants in one pot. They regenerate so quickly that I don't anticipate ever being in want of green onions again. You may chop and regrow, chop and regrow to your heart's content.

Happy Growing!
