Sun Requirements ▾

Bright light is ideal for Santo cilantro. It thrives in bright indirect light and can tolerate some direct sun, particularly morning sunlight. When grown outdoors, it performs best in full sun to partial shade. Excessive heat or intense afternoon sun may cause the plant to bolt more quickly.

Watering Instructions ▾

Watering should be done when the top portion of the soil begins to dry out. Santo cilantro prefers evenly moist soil and does not tolerate drying out completely. Inconsistent watering can cause stress and increase the likelihood of bolting, while overwatering may lead to root issues. Watering frequency may increase during warmer weather or active growth.

Care Tips ▾

Santo cilantro prefers a bright environment with cooler to moderate temperatures, good airflow, and stable conditions. It performs best in a rich, well-draining soil that retains moisture without becoming compacted. Regular harvesting encourages continued leaf production and helps delay bolting. Cilantro does not tolerate prolonged heat well and benefits from consistent placement away from intense heat sources. Santo cilantro can be grown outdoors once the risk of frost has passed and performs best in cooler weather. It grows well in garden beds or containers with well-draining soil. Leaves should be harvested regularly by cutting outer stems near the base, which encourages continued growth. Harvesting frequently helps maintain flavour and delays flowering.
