Sow seeds in part shade in the spring or early summer. Keep the soil moist to delay bolting. Optimal growing temperatures are 60-70℉. Bring inside at any sign of a frost or excess heat over 90℉. Fertilize as required. If it needs to be transplanted, be especially careful of the roots. If the roots are disturbed too much it can hinder or kill the plant. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Vietnamese Culantro\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the leaves grow from the base of the plant, rather than individually from a stem, harvest by cutting the entire rosette at the base before the plant begins to flower.
