What kind of variety is lettuce? How often should I water the outdoor lettuce?

1. What is the variant

Lettuce is a variety of lettuce. It is a common vegetable belonging to the genus Lactuca in the Asteraceae family. It is very popular in both the southern and northern regions of my country. In different regions, it is called differently. It is also called leaf lettuce, goose lettuce, lettuce, and mark lettuce. In recent years, it has been cultivated more and more in my country and often appears on everyone’s table. Lettuce prefers to grow in a cool environment. If the maintenance environment is too hot, it will grow poorly and the taste will deteriorate.

2. Frequency of open-field watering

Lettuce grown in the open field needs to be watered frequently. It likes moist soil and is generally watered once every 2 or 3 days. If the weather is hot, you should replenish water every day and keep your body moist at all times. But if you grow it indoors, it will be a little different. Just water it as soon as the soil is dry.

3. Other maintenance methods

Lettuce does not like a too hot environment and is suitable for growing in a relatively cool environment. The growth temperature should be around 15℃-20℃. If the temperature is higher than 30℃, it is basically difficult to germinate. In addition, excessively high temperatures will reduce the taste of the food and the leaves will become coarse and old. Its origin is in the Mediterranean coastal areas of Europe. If the soil used for cultivation is fertile, the yield of lettuce will be higher.
