Use fresh seed and try it again, And again. And again. Do not dome germinating tray. Takes awhile. Good luck!

Yup, pretty much so. Cut the inflorescence stalk, dry it out on a sheet of paper for a few days. Collect the tiny seed material from the dried pods and store in a dry, cool place.

Culantro seeds are viable for 3 months only; sow ASAP.

I purchased one culantro plant this past season and brought it in in the fall. It has seed pods now, can they be harvested? If so how? They look as if they are turning a slight brown and may be drying out. Is that all there is to it? Dry and harvest?

Proper Hydroponic growing systems:
DO NOT USE
• Insecticides or harmful fertilizers to pollute the air and soil/ground water
USE
• Systems that are designed to use what nature gives us
• Nutrients that do not pollute soil and air and systems are designed to be energy efficient
• Atmospheric water generators to control humidity and replenish the systems, keeps the water usage to a minimum and are designed to be energy efficient
• Deep water is dug in soil, fed by gravity producing a very low electrical usage
• Bio degradable packaging
• Composting of waste products which is turned to tea or compost
• LED’s for supplemental lighting, which are rated higher than all other light sources in a greenhouse environment, with less than half the wattage of the traditional lightning systems
