Perhaps, in any store in the vegetable section you can find lettuce, which is sold in pots.
Thanks to the root system, these plants stay fresh longer and are stored better.
Moreover, after “harvesting”, that is, after cutting the greens, you can plant them and once again enjoy the juicy and delicious leaves.
When to Plant Lettuce in a Pot
You can give a plant a second life at any time, regardless of the season.
How to Plant Lettuce in a Pot
First, cut off all the leaves at a height of 1-2 cm from the ground.
Carefully remove the pot. To make the task easier, you can use a knife or scissors - a container with thin walls is easy to cut.
After this, place the roots in a bowl filled with settled water at room temperature.
All that remains is to wait for new leaves to appear – when they reach a height of 4-5 cm, the lettuce should be planted in a pot filled with universal soil from the store.
How to care for lettuce in a pot
It is enough to water the plant approximately once every two days and regularly spray the leaves. Feeding is not necessary - you can get a new harvest without fertilizers.
