Growth habits of lettuce

Lettuce likes cold environment and is neither cold-resistant nor heat-resistant. The most suitable temperature for growth is 15-20 ℃ and can be harvested 90-10 days after sowing. The seeds are relatively tolerant to low temperature and can germinate at 4 ℃.

When the temperature is higher than 25 ℃, the growth is poor, and the leaves are thick and old, with a slightly bitter taste. However, the cold tolerance is also quite strong, and 0 ℃ or even short-term subzero low temperature does not hinder the growth.

Lettuce has developed root system, waxy leaves and strong drought tolerance, but it has high yield and good quality when cultivated on fertile and humid soil. The suitable pH value of soil is 5.8-6.6.

The moral of lettuce

Because the homonym of lettuce is "making money", it has a beautiful meaning of getting rich. It is more commonly used in the south.
