• Romaine Lettuce is a heat-sensitive plant and grows best at 18 - 24 °C / 64 - 75 °F.

• Romaine Lettuce is a fast-growing plant that will usually sprout in 1 week.

• Our lettuce germinates and produces more growth if kept in cooler conditions (15 - 22 °C). Although it also grows well in warmer temperatures.

• It might seem that it is a bit slow to start once it has germinated, but don’t worry, it will accelerate soon.

• Harvesting option 1. Start harvesting (ca 25 days after planting) by picking off the larger outer leaves - the plant will produce more from its basal growing point. Harvest gradually until the plant is about 50 days old or it does not produce any more leaves. If you make a cut too low or damage the basal growing point, the plant will die and will not produce the 2nd harvest.

• Harvesting option 2. You may harvest the whole pod in 30 to 35 days after planting.

• Lettuce is an annual plant and has the best nutritional value 25 to 50 days after planting the pod. So, start using Romaine Lettuce leaves before it grows old and loses its signature flavour

• If Romaine Lettuce grows leggy, the temperature might be too high, the lamp could be set up in the wrong way or the plant could be aged.
