# Can someone help me? My cilantro was planted about 2 weeks ago and…

Can someone help me? My cilantro was planted about 2 weeks ago and yet their is still no germination. I water it every time the apps says so and it’s right up near a window. I don’t know what’s wrong.

Good News ITS GROWING

No, am I supposed too?

### jedijae commented on 2023-08-10

Is it placed in bright direct light? If not, a grow light helped ours!

### PurpleWhale commented on 2023-08-10

Yes it right by a window that has lots of light. Also it’s growing with other plants which are Basil and Thyme

### Roxy commented on 2023-08-11

I have never been able to grow cilantro, it seems so difficult

### Elise commented on 2023-08-15

Cilantro is very hard to grow from seed and if you buy the plant it’s better to put it inside in a window sip because it can’t withstand heat very well
