Crop Duration: Butter Lettuce is a fast-cycling plant, which can be harvested approximately 55 to 70 days after sowing, depending on growing conditions.
Characteristics: Butter Lettuce is known for its mild flavor and buttery texture. It forms compact heads of tender, green leaves that overlap attractively.
Lighting: Prefers full sun or partial shade. For optimal growth, make sure it receives at least 4 to 6 hours of sunlight daily.
Watering: Keep the soil constantly moist, but well-drained. Regular watering is essential to prevent the leaves from becoming bitter and tough. Be sure to water at soil level to prevent water from soaking the leaves, which could encourage fungal diseases.
Pests: Butter Lettuce can be susceptible to pests such as snails, slugs and aphids. Organic methods such as physical barriers, potassium soap and Neem oil are recommended for pest control.
Cold resistance: It is moderately resistant to cold, but strong frosts can damage the plants. It is recommended to protect the plants in case of extreme low temperatures.
Substrate: A substrate rich in organic matter, loose and well-drained is recommended. A mixture of compost and garden soil is ideal for growing lettuce.
