There are many types of lettuce, some with smaller plant shapes, some that can form balls, some with larger leaves, some with better taste and texture, and some with purple leaves. The planting methods are all similar.
As long as the seeds are not expired, they will be fine because expired seeds will definitely affect the germination rate. If not expired, the germination speed is super fast. If the temperature is around 20 degrees Celsius, it usually takes no more than ten days to germinate.
2. As for the choice of tools for growing lettuce, any container at home that can hold soil can be used for planting. Pay attention to the pots or other containers, foam boxes, empty oil drums; they must have drainage holes, otherwise, the growth will be poor, and the leaves will easily turn yellow because the potting soil can easily accumulate water.
