Frequently Asked Questions

What are the germination requirements for Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) seeds?
Lettuce seeds are photoblastic, requiring light to trigger germination. They should be sown very shallowly, approximately 1.5875 to 3.175 millimeters (1/16 to 1/8 inch) deep, or pressed gently onto the surface of the Premium Nutrient-Rich Potting Soil and covered with a very thin layer of soil.
What is the optimal temperature for Lettuce seed germination?
Lettuce is a cool-season crop that germinates best at temperatures between 12 and 20 degrees Celsius (53 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit). Temperatures above 24 degrees Celsius (75 degrees Fahrenheit) can induce thermodormancy, preventing germination.
How deep should Lettuce seeds be planted?
Sow the seeds 1.5875 to 3.175 millimeters (1/16 to 1/8 inch) deep in the provided Premium Nutrient-Rich Potting Soil, pressing the medium gently over the seeds.
What USDA Hardiness Zones are suitable for Lettuce outdoors?
Lettuce is grown as a cool-season annual in USDA Zones 2 through 11, performing best during the spring and fall seasons.
Can I grow Lettuce indoors year-round?
Yes. Lettuce can be grown indoors on a bright windowsill.
Why does this kit use Premium Nutrient-Rich Potting Soil instead of compressed coir discs?
Lettuce seeds are very small and can easily get lost or buried too deep in the coarse fibers of expanding coir discs. Our Premium Nutrient-Rich Potting Soil provides a stable, uniform surface for surface-sown seeds.
