Stop buying lettuce. Here’s how to grow it in a pot at home with ease

Step 6: Watering
Keep the soil evenly moist, avoiding waterlogging. Water at the base of plants to prevent fungal diseases and mulch with straw or compost for moisture retention.

Step 7: Fertilization
Feed lettuce with organic fertilizer every 3-4 weeks or use slow-release fertilizer, avoiding excess to prevent bitterness.

Step 8: Pest and Disease Control
Regularly check for pests like aphids and control them with organic methods. Rotate crops and ensure good airflow to prevent diseases.

Step 9: Harvesting
Start harvesting outer leaves after 4-6 weeks, leaving inner leaves to grow. Use scissors or a knife to cut leaves just above the soil, harvesting until the plant bolts or turns bitter.
