How to care for Wall Lettuce

Difficulty

With its straightforward care requirements, Wall Lettuce is a hassle-free plant that anyone can enjoy.

Water

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

Soil

Wall 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.

Lighting

To ensure optimal growth, the Wall Lettuce prefers bright indirect 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.

Humidity

The Wall Lettuce does not demand additional humidity levels. Water is mostly absorbed by the roots of plants, rather than their leaves, and the best way to provide humidity to your plants is through watering the soil.
