How many days does it take for lettuce seeds to germinate

1. How many days does it take to germinate?

Lettuce seeds will germinate in about 10 days after being planted. Note that after sowing, a growing environment of 15 to 20 degrees must be provided. If it is higher than 25 degrees, the water absorption of the seed coat will be hindered, which will delay the germination time and cause poor germination.

2. Germination Method

1. Spring sowing: When sowing in spring, you can use the soaking method to germinate. Soak the seeds in warm water at 25 to 30 degrees for 7 to 8 hours, take them out and dry them at 15 to 20 degrees. When most of the seeds have germinated, they are ready for sowing.

2. Sowing in summer: The outdoor temperature is higher in summer, but the temperature in the well is lower, so the seeds can be hung in the well for germination. After drying the selected and soaked seeds, put them in a cloth bag and hang them into the well with a rope, about 50 cm away from the water surface. Then take them out and wash them every day. Repeat the cycle for about 4 days and the seeds will germinate, which can be then sown.
