Growing recommendations

• The seeds are sown in a bed or a suitable container with soil (in case you use the second option, make sure the soil is well drained ).
• Sow the seeds in rows or by evenly sprinkling, to a depth of up to 1 cm , with a row spacing of about 20–30 cm .
• Maintain even humidity . Avoid infrequent watering with copious amounts of water. This makes the leaves more susceptible to pests and diseases and also contributes to a bitter taste.
• The leaves are collected from the outside, leaving the center to grow.
• Avoid growing lettuce in strong sunlight; if necessary, it is best to shade it, because at very high temperatures it can bloom and reduce its taste.
