Plant Care & Growing Tips

Cultivating your spicy salad lettuce mix seeds for a successful harvest is an enjoyable process that requires attention to a few key factors. Lettuce generally thrives in cooler weather, making spring and fall ideal planting seasons, though it can be grown indoors year-round. For outdoor planting, sow seeds directly into well-draining soil after the last frost, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting. Ensure the soil is rich in organic matter and has a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Space seeds about 1 inch apart in rows 12-18 inches apart, covering lightly with about 1/8 inch of soil. Once seedlings emerge, thin them to 6-12 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.

Watering is crucial for crisp lettuce. Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Aim for about 1 inch of water per week, either from rain or irrigation. Overhead watering can sometimes encourage fungal diseases, so consider drip irrigation or watering at the base of the plants. Lettuce prefers full sun to partial shade; in hotter climates, partial shade can prevent bolting (going to seed prematurely) and extend your harvest. Fertilize every 2-3 weeks with a balanced, organic liquid fertilizer to promote lush leaf growth. Watch out for common pests like aphids and slugs, and use organic pest control methods if necessary. Harvesting can begin when leaves are large enough to eat, either by picking outer leaves for a continuous harvest or cutting the entire head. This method also encourages you to grow spicy lettuce continuously throughout the season.
