CULTIVATION TIPS:
You can plant lettuce outdoors from March to the end of August. Basically, lettuce is frost sensitive, but it can tolerate some cold. In February and September it is recommended to plant in greenhouse. Early March you can plant in open air with a fleece. The fleece is also an extra protection against aphids. In April you can grow without a cover.
Red lettuce varieties will be redder when planted outside
Lettuce thrives in all kinds of soil with normal fertilization and humidity. Don't plant lettuce too deep or the lower leaves will rot more easily! It is best to water lettuce in the morning so that the leaves can dry out. If they stay wet for too long, they will also rot more easily
ADVICE ON PROBLEMS:
One possible problem is that lettuce will bolt. To avoid this, it is important to harvest the heads in time
If the leaves show a brown edge, it is called a dry edge. If the outer leaves suffer from this, then the soil is too dry in combination with low humidity. However, if the inner part of the head is affected, then the salt concentration of the soil is too high. Therefore it is important to regularly rinse the soil thoroughly. Ideal for this is a snow layer during the winter that slowly soaks into the soil
Snails also like to eat lettuce. There are many remedies for this, such as slug pellets and all kinds of natural home remedies
