How to plant lettuce seeds

Lettuce seed planting time

Lettuce is generally planted from October to December each year. Its growth cycle is relatively short, so it is more appropriate to plant it at this time. The temperature at that time is suitable for growth. After sowing, the seeds can germinate and grow quickly. You need to pay attention to the weather when sowing. It is best to choose sunny weather for planting.

How to plant lettuce seeds

1. Germination treatment: Before sowing, lettuce needs to be germinated to improve its survival rate. First, you need to select seeds with full grains and no disease, and then soak them in water for about 6 hours. After the seeds turn white, you can take them out.

2. Sowing and planting: When sowing lettuce, you can directly sow the seeds in loose, fertile, well-drained soil, and cover the seeds with fine soil. After sowing, you need to water the soil appropriately to keep the soil moist.

3. Sowing management: Lettuce needs a suitable growing environment after sowing. Only in this way can it germinate. Therefore, the environment needs to be kept warm and watered appropriately. After a period of growth, the seeds will germinate.

Daily management precautions for lettuce

When caring for lettuce in the seedling stage, full sunlight is needed to allow it to carry out photosynthesis normally and maintain growth. When the temperature is relatively low, a greenhouse needs to be built for it to maintain a certain temperature. It is also necessary to fertilize regularly, and nutritionally balanced inorganic fertilizers can be used.
