Planting And Care

• You should be able to sow additional seeds every two weeks for a continuous harvest throughout the growing season
• Fertilize 3 weeks after transplanting
• Lettuce prefers soil that is high in humus, with plenty of compost and a steady supply of nitrogen to keep if growing fast
• Use organic alfalfa meal or a slow-release fertilizer
• To plant a fall crop, create cool soil in August by moistening the ground and covering it with a bale of straw
• A week later, the soil under the bale will be about 10 degrees F (6 degrees C) cooler than the rest of the garden
• Sow a three foot row of lettuce seeds every couple of weeks ?just rotate the straw bale around the garden
• Make sure soil remains moist but is well-drained
• An organic mulch will help conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and keep soil temperatures cool throughout the warmer months
• Lettuce will tell you when it needs water
• Just look at it
• If the leaves are wilting, sprinkle them anytime even in the heat of the day ?to cool them off and slow down the transpiration rate
• Weed by hand if necessary, but be careful of plant roots: They are shallow
• Planning your garden so that lettuce will be in the shade of taller plants, such as tomatoes or sweet corn, in the heat of the summer, may reduce bolting

Potting: Plant do not need any special type of potting soil. Being tropical natives, they do well in any well-drained potting soil, rich with organic material. Use a mix of coco-peat, compost, sand in 20:60:20 ratio.

Watering: Overwatering is the chief cause of disease or loss of plant life. Do ensure that you don't overwater them. To get plants to show off their richly coloured leaves, it is best to wipe them clean with moist tissue or cloth once every month. In drier months, misting them a few times a week could help improve humidity around the plant, helping them flourish.

Fertilising: Feeding your Plant a few times a year is a good way to get them to stay healthy. Give them some organic liquid fertiliser once or twice a year. Dilute it in water as described on the pack and add a little to each pot as part of your watering routine. If you are using a chemical fertiliser do ensure that you keep it away from the plant and its base.

Light:As a tropical plant that grows in the humid bright shade of tropical forests, this plant prefers similar conditions when grown as a houseplant.It dislikes full sunlight, preferring bright, indirect sun, such as that offered by north-facing windows. It will also thrive under fluorescent lights.
