Cilantro

13 years ago

I am doing a deep water culture method on a 3 gallon tub. I am growing parsley, basil, and cilantro. I am using Botanicare's Power Plant at 60ml. Cilantro seems to die all the time. The first time it turned purple. However the basil and parlsey are doing fine. What am I doing wrong?

Maybe doing nothing wrong, some plants just don't like that system.

Right, cilantro is in fact a semi-arid/arid herb and thus will (like many other similar or arid species and herbs, like marjoram, oregano, rosemary) hardly or not thrive at all in DWC-culture. Best way to grow these is indeed in a E/F system with rather extended flood cycles.
