Step 2: How to trim vegetables
When the lettuce has grown 2 pairs of leaves, if the density of seedlings is high, you can pick the vegetables to eat gradually or move them to another pot for better growth. Before pruning the vegetables, add nutrients to the soil such as organic powder, coconut fiber, and compost to help the lettuce take root quickly. This is one of the ways to grow purple lettuce for high yield and vegetables that grow well with large, wide leaves.
Step 3: How to care
You should choose a well-ventilated and well-lit place such as a balcony or porch to place the potted plant. The humidity suitable for purple lettuce ranges from 70-80%.
Water the vegetable twice in the early morning and afternoon during the dry season. On the contrary, avoid watering too much during the rainy season to avoid waterlogging of the soil, which prevents the plant from growing.
Fertilize with organic fertilizer, vermicompost or fertilizer specifically for leafy plants to promote vegetable growth after pruning (about 7-10 days).
Step 1: Seeding techniques
Sow Fresh Organic Red Coral Lettuce Seeds directly into the soil. Use a spray bottle and lightly spray the surface of the seeds to increase humidity and stimulate faster germination. Then place the pot in a cool, well-lit place.
TIP: Fresh Organic Red Coral Lettuce Seeds is suitable for planting in warm climates, preferably in tropical, subtropical and warm places such as Asia,Philippines,South America, Australia and New Zealand
Step 4: Harvest
Lettuce that grows well can be harvested after about 30-35 days.
After 1-2 crops, you should add more nutrients with organic fertilizer at a ratio of 350-400g/m2 or 80-100g/pot. The soil should be stirred and dried in the sun for about 2-3 days to kill all fungi and pests.
