Growing tips

Iceberg lettuce can be sown directly or grown in advance. Only lightly cover the seeds (light germinators). In very warm weather, place the sowing tray in a cool place for approx. 10 hours immediately after sowing, as germination may be inhibited if temperatures are too high. The following applies to all lettuces: at temperatures above 20 °C, the seeds do not germinate or only germinate slowly. The planting depth is also important: plants planted too deep will not thrive properly. If the lettuce shoots, this is always a stress reaction: too hot, too dry or planted too close together.
