I have no suggestions, because what you do is exactly what I do.

> I'm looking for strategies to keep my cilantro from wilting. I cut bunches and wrap them with a rubber band, and plunge into water in the field--no more than 30 seconds from first cut to water. I usually cut when it's cool, either morning or early evening, but no matter what I do, I often get wilting bunches within a few hours of cutting. Not all the stalks wilt, but inevitably several will, and get not just soft, but close to dried out before too long. I have not discovered a pattern to my problem.
