To sow iceberg lettuce seeds under cover, you can use biodegradable coconut fibre cups or terracotta pots. Fill the cups or pots with a mixture of universal potting soil and well-decomposed compost.
It is recommended to sow iceberg lettuce seeds in early spring, around March-April, for an expected harvest in summer. The seeds should be sown on the surface of the substrate and covered with a thin layer of potting soil. Water gently to keep the substrate moist, but not soggy.
It's important to place the cups or pots in a bright place, at a temperature of between 18 and 22°C. Also make sure you aerate regularly to avoid fungal diseases.
Once the plants have reached a height of around 5-7 cm, they can be transplanted into the ground or into growing trays. Be sure to leave a space of around 30 cm between each plant.
