Growing lettuce is a fun and rewarding process that can be done both outdoors and indoors.
How to Grow Lettuce
First, choose the lettuce variety you want to grow.
There are leafy, head, and semi-headed varieties.
Leafy varieties, such as Lollo Rossa or Arugula, grow faster and are less demanding of conditions.
Lettuce prefers loose, fertile soil with good drainage.
Before planting, it is recommended to add compost or humus to the soil to improve its structure and nutritional properties.
Lettuce seeds can be sown directly into the ground or in pots.
In open ground, seeds are sown to a depth of about 1 cm with a distance of 20-30 cm between rows.
At home, you can use small containers or pots.
Lettuce requires regular watering, especially in hot weather.
It is important to keep the soil moist, but not waterlogged.
It is also recommended to thin out the seedlings so that the plants do not interfere with each other's growth.
Lettuce loves light, so choose sunny places for planting or provide the plants with sufficient lighting at home.
In winter, you can use phytolamps.
