5gram Chinese leaf lettuce Seeds, Sword point lettuce seeds 红油麦菜种子

Description: Planting Instructions Choose the Right Time:Plant the seeds in early spring or late summer. Avoid hot weather as lettuce prefers cooler temperatures. Prepare the Soil:Choose a sunny spot that receives a few hours of direct sunlight each day.Ensure the soil is loose, well-draining, and free of weeds. Mix in some compost to enrich the soil if it is not very fertile. Sow the Seeds:Sprinkle the seeds lightly on the soil surface, about 1/4 inch apart. If planting in rows, keep each row about 12 to 16 inches apart.Gently press the seeds into the soil but do not bury them deeply; lettuce seeds need light to germinate. Water Gently:Water the area gently using a watering can or a hose set to a light spray to avoid displacing the seeds.Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Thin the Seedlings:Once the seedlings are about 2 inches tall, thin them so that they are about 8 inches apart. This gives each plant enough space to grow and prevents overcrowding. Monitor Growth and Care:Continue to keep the soil moist and weed the area regularly.If temperatures start rising, provide some shade to prevent the plants from bolting (going to seed prematurely). Harvesting:Harvest the leaves once they are large enough to use—usually within 45 to 60 days from planting. You can pick individual leaves or harvest the whole plant.Additional TipsSuccession Planting: Plant a new batch of seeds every two weeks for a continuous supply throughout the growing season.Pests and Diseases: Watch for common pests like aphids and slugs. Use organic methods like neem oil or diatomaceous earth to control these pests.Mulching: Applying a thin layer of organic mulch can help retain soil moisture and control weeds.
