Lactuca ludoviciana aka Biannual Lettuce

New growth will sprout from the top of the plant as it grows upwards.

Biannual Lettuce’s native range is Worldwide.

Biannual Lettuce should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Biannual Lettuce loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Biannual Lettuce prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

The Biannual Lettuce is not in need of supplementary humidity. Most water is taken in by plants through their roots, thus soil watering is the most efficient way to provide humidity to your plants.
