| Steps to grow lettuce indoors: |
 |
| Prepare the soil substrate, put the soil substrate in the pot, use your finger or the tip of a pen to make holes to place the seeds, and water thoroughly. Use a plastic bag over the soil pot, create a few tears in the plastic bag to “fake” an air-conditioned environment. |
 |
| Regularly pay attention and add water to the seedling pot if necessary. After about 15 days, the seedlings will have at least 4 leaves. Separate each plant and plant it in pots. Water the pot thoroughly and place it in the shade for about 2-3 days to let the seedlings adapt to the new environment. |
 |
| Day 4, place the pot on the window sill, balcony… so that the plant can receive as much sunlight as possible. |
 |
| Lettuce plants need a lot of water to grow, you can water the plants twice a day or create an automatic watering system for the plants. |
 |
|
Each type of lettuce has a different harvest time. On average, harvest time is about 30 days after planting in pots.
|
 |
| The best time to harvest lettuce is in the morning, when the leaves are still young and soft. You can cut individual lettuce leaves from the plant – be careful not to cut the innermost stem with the knife. With that harvesting method, you can harvest the next batch of leaves after 20 days. |
 |
| Store lettuce in a plastic bag or plastic box, glass box… in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. When ready to use, wash and prepare dishes to your liking. |
