How to grow lettuce at home

Growing lettuce is quite a simple task. Place the white root of the lettuce in a glass jar filled with water, without it reaching the top of the stem.

Place the plant in the sun and do not forget to spray the roots with water occasionally to prevent it from drying out.

After a few days you will see that new roots and leaves have formed.

A week later, you can place the plant in some soil, leaving the leaves above ground. Be ready to reap the harvest in just a few weeks.

Alternatively, you can put the plant directly into soil straight away.

In this case the plant needs to be watered intensively throughout the first week until the first sprouts appear.
