Can I water the dry ground after planting lettuce outdoors? How can I scald the lettuce without it turning yellow?

1. Can the ground be watered after outdoor planting?

The lettuce field planted outdoors can be watered after it dries up, but during the germination period, proper attention should be paid to the frequency and amount of watering, and the focus should be on watering thoroughly without water accumulation. If you water it too much, it will be detrimental to its growth. Generally, as long as the soil is slightly moist, it will be fine.

If you grow lettuce in your home garden, you can use a hose nozzle to spray water on it so that it can absorb water evenly. If you plant lettuce in a small flowerpot, you can poke a small hole with a small bottle or use a small cup to water it. Because the flowerpot is relatively small, avoid watering too much and let the water flow out from the bottom of the pot.

2. How to prevent yellowing of the water

You can boil a pot of hot water and pour it into a container, then let it cool down and set aside. Boil another pot of hot water and add a spoonful of salt when the water boils. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, add the lettuce, submerge it all in the water and stir. After half a minute, take it out and put it into cold boiled water. This way, the lettuce will not turn yellow and the taste will not be affected too much. If you put it directly in water, the lettuce leaves will turn yellow.
