How do you keep cilantro from bolting?

Fifth, mulch cilantro and plant it tightly. It isn't the heat of the air that causes cilantro to bolt, but rather the heat of the soil. Mulch will help keep the soil cool and retain moisture. Planting cilantro tightly will shade the ground it grows in, which also helps to keep the soil cooler.

How do you trim cilantro so it keeps growing?

When you're ready to harvest cilantro leaves, snip the stems at their bases when they are 4 to 6 inches long. You can harvest just a few stems or up to one-third of the stems. Don't prune more than one-third at a time because cutting too many stems can weaken the plant and keep it from growing more.
