What is the best time and method to plant lettuce?

What month is suitable for planting lettuce?

Lettuce can be planted all year round. Spring lettuce can be grown in February and March, summer lettuce can be planted in April and May, and autumn lettuce can be sown and propagated in July to September. However, the specific time depends on the local climate environment.

Lettuce planting method

1. Seed treatment

Lettuce seeds have a long dormancy period. Before use, they must be dried in the sun for 3 hours, then soaked in water for 11 hours, wrapped in a wet cloth, and refrigerated at 5°C for 12 hours.

2. Transplanting

After the seeds are processed, they can be sown. During this period, the temperature should be controlled at around 18°C. They will germinate in about 1-3 weeks and can be transplanted after 5 true leaves grow.

Points to note when planting lettuce

1. When the lettuce has 5 true leaves, it can be transplanted. The time can be chosen on a cloudy morning or after a rain, so that the survival rate of the plant is the highest.

2. After planting lettuce, field management is also very important. The most important ones are fertilizing, weeding and watering. Ten days after planting, you can use manure water for watering.
