How to plant glass lettuce and when to plant it so that it can grow quickly

Suitable planting time for glass lettuce

Glass lettuce is not heat-resistant, so when planting glass lettuce, you should avoid the high temperature season, or take cooling measures during planting. For example, in Guangdong, it can be planted from August to March of the following year. In other areas, it should be planted according to local climatic conditions.

Glass lettuce planting methods and key points

Usually when planting glass lettuce, you need to raise seedlings and transplant them. First, water the soil in the pot thoroughly, mix the seeds with fine sand and spread them on the soil surface, then cover them with a thin layer of soil. When the temperature is 15-20℃, the glass lettuce will sprout in about 3-5 days.

Therefore, when sowing at high temperatures, the seeds need to be germinated. First, soak the seeds in water for about 6 hours, wrap them with cloth after taking them out, and then put them in the refrigerator for germination. Start planting when the seeds turn white.

In addition, glass lettuce is afraid of drought, but do not water it too much. When it grows 2-3 leaves, you can thin it out. When it grows 5-8 leaves, you can transplant it. When transplanting, the roots must be completely buried in the soil and watered thoroughly to ensure the survival rate of the glass spinach.

Key points for the management of glass lettuce

In the early growth period of glass lettuce, proper water control is needed to maintain soil moisture. Generally, watering once every 2-3 days is sufficient. At the same time, attention should be paid to insect pests, and prevention and control should be strengthened in time when discovered.
