Lettuce is best planted during the cool seasons of spring and autumn when temperatures range between 7°C and 27°C. For optimal growth, ensure the seedlings are protected if frost is expected.
Maintain moist but well-drained soil, water regularly, and provide some shade if temperatures rise. Using mulch helps keep roots cool and row covers can protect the leaves from sun damage.
Loose-leaf varieties can be ready to harvest in just 4-6 weeks. Hearting lettuces generally take around 10-14 weeks depending on the variety and season. Harvesting in the morning ensures the leaves are fresh and juicy.
Most lettuce varieties prefer full sunlight, needing about 6 to 8 hours of direct exposure. However, some can also tolerate partial shade, which involves 4 to 6 hours of sunlight daily.
Ensure the soil remains moist to a depth of about two inches. This typically requires daily watering, potentially more frequently in hot climates to prevent the soil from drying out.
