Fatty Seeds – Lettuce
Lettuce is a popular leafy vegetable known for its tender green leaves, crisp texture and mild, refreshing flavour. Commonly enjoyed in salads, sandwiches, wraps and other fresh dishes, it is a nutritious addition to everyday meals. Suitable for growing in pots or garden beds, Lettuce is a great choice for home vegetable gardens.
Planting Guidelines:
-
Sow the seeds in well-draining, nutrient-rich soil, covering them lightly with approximately 0.3–0.5cm of soil. Space the plants 15–25cm apart, depending on the mature size of the variety.
-
Seeds typically germinate within 7–14 days, and the leaves can be ready for harvesting in approximately 45–60 days. Harvest the outer leaves regularly while leaving the centre intact to encourage continuous growth. Whole plants can also be harvested once fully developed.
-
Lettuce grows best in cooler conditions with partial sunlight. In Singapore's warm climate, morning sunlight with afternoon shade is recommended to reduce heat stress. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Avoid intense afternoon sunlight, as excessive heat may cause early flowering and bitter leaves.
