Care Tips

Keep Culantro in warm conditions with moist, well-draining soil. Protect from intense afternoon sun in hot climates. Partial shade encourages tender leafy growth and helps delay flowering. Harvest outer leaves as needed while allowing the center to continue growing. Culantro is frost sensitive and can be grown in containers or treated as an annual in colder climates.
