EINZELHEITEN

Pflegehinweise
Lamb's lettuce prefers moderate temperatures and indirect bright light. It thrives in environments with moderate humidity and should be watered when the soil partially dries out. This plant is suitable for both indoor and outdoor growth, making it versatile for various gardening setups.
Ernte
Valeriana locusta, commonly known as lamb's lettuce or corn salad, is typically ready for harvest about 70 days after planting. The best time to harvest is in the cooler months of spring or fall, as the plant prefers temperate climates. To harvest, cut the leaves at the base of the plant using a sharp knife or scissors, ensuring not to damage the central growing point if you want the plant to regrow. It's important to harvest before the plant starts to flower, as the leaves can become bitter once flowering begins. Regular harvesting can encourage new growth and extend the harvesting period.
Boden
Valeriana locusta prefers well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Ensure the soil is kept moderately moist but not waterlogged. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.
Dünger
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth.
Umtopfen
Repot lamb's lettuce when it outgrows its current container, typically once a year. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage and fresh loamy soil. Handle the roots gently to avoid damage.
Vermehrung
Propagate Valeriana locusta by sowing seeds. The best time to propagate is in early spring. Sow the seeds in a seed tray with a light covering of soil and keep them moist until germination.
Beschneidung
Pruning is not generally required for lamb's lettuce. However, you can trim off any dead or yellowing leaves to maintain the plant's appearance and health.
Toxizität
Valeriana locusta is not toxic to pets or humans. It is safe to grow in households with animals and children.
Zusätzlich
Lamb's lettuce is a nutritious addition to salads and can be harvested by cutting the leaves at the base. Regular harvesting encourages new growth and keeps the plant productive.
