How to sow batavia lettuce successfully under cover?
For successful sowing of batavia lettuce under cover, it is advisable to sow in early spring. Choose a shallow container and fill it with quality potting soil. Spread the seeds out, spacing them about 2-3 cm apart. Cover them with a thin layer of potting soil and tamp lightly.
Then place the container in a bright, warm place, taking care to maintain constant humidity by watering regularly. It's important to keep the potting soil moist but not excessively so, to prevent the seeds from rotting.
Once the young plants have a few leaves, you can transplant them into the ground, taking care to space them about 20 cm apart to encourage their development. Batavia lettuce likes humus-rich, well-drained soil, but does not require fertiliser to grow properly.
By following these simple tips, you'll get beautiful, crisp, tasty batavia lettuces to liven up your summer salads.
