How To Grow
GROWER TIP: To successfully germinate lettuce seeds, you can try soaking them in water for a few hours to soften the seed coat and encourage sprouting. For ideal growing conditions, sow the seeds in well-draining soil indoors under grow lights or outdoors in a sunny spot, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. To maintain healthy plants and ensure a bountiful harvest, you can thin seedlings to prevent overcrowding, water regularly, and snip outer leaves for continuous growth.
