Instructions d'entretien

Lettuce requires moderate temperatures and should be grown in a location that receives direct bright light for optimal growth. It thrives in evenly moist soil and prefers a temperate climate. Regular watering and maintaining moderate humidity levels will help the plant grow well.

Récolte

Lactuca sativa, commonly known as lettuce, is typically ready for harvest about 70 days after planting. Harvesting should be done in the early morning when the leaves are crisp and full of moisture. For leaf varieties, individual outer leaves can be picked as needed, while for head varieties, the entire head should be cut off at the base. Ensure to avoid damaging the plant to allow for potential regrowth. Lettuce should be harvested before it bolts, which is when it starts to flower and the leaves become bitter.

Sol

Lettuce prefers loamy soil that is well-draining and rich in organic matter. The soil should be kept evenly moist but not waterlogged. A slightly acidic to neutral pH is ideal for this plant.

Engrais

Lettuce benefits from a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant every few weeks during the growing season to ensure it receives the necessary nutrients for healthy growth.

Rempotage

Lettuce can be repotted if necessary, especially if grown indoors. Repot when the plant outgrows its container, ensuring to use fresh, nutrient-rich soil. Handle the roots gently to avoid damage.

Propagation

Lettuce is typically propagated by seeds. Sow the seeds directly into the soil or start them indoors and transplant them later. Ensure the soil is kept moist until germination occurs.

Taille

Pruning is not generally required for lettuce. However, you can harvest the outer leaves as needed, which will encourage the plant to produce more leaves.

Toxicité

Lettuce is not toxic to pets or humans. It is safe to consume and is a common ingredient in salads and other dishes.
