Cultivation tips for optimal results

• For uniform emergence and robust lettuce, sow directly in the ground or in pots, at a depth of about 0.5 cm.
• If transplanting, leave 20–25 cm between plants and 25–30 cm between rows for optimal leaf development.
• Choose a cool soil, rich in organic matter and well-drained, with an ideal pH between 6.0 and 7.0.
• Expose it to full sun to partial light; ribbon romaine lettuce prefers bright exposure for better leaf expansion.
• Keep the soil slightly moist without waterlogging, to avoid water stress that can slow growth or promote bolting.
• Lightly apply a balanced fertilizer when transplanting or use mature compost to support regular growth.
• Expect approximately 60 to 75 days after sowing, depending on conditions. Harvest leaves throughout the growing period to extend production, or wait for a head to form for a more concentrated harvest.
• Water at the end of the day and use mulch around the plants to maintain moisture and limit heat stress.
