Lactuca viminea aka Pliant Lettuce

Luca viminea, also known as the pliant lettuce, is a Eurasian plant species in the tribe Cichorieae of the family Asteraceae. It is found across much of Europe and southwestern Asia from Portugal to Pakistan. This branching subshrub can grow up to 30 cm tall, with pinnately lobed leaves near the base and narrow, linear leaves on the stem that become smaller farther up the plant. The uppermost leaves are almost scale-like and pressed against the stem. Flower heads have 4-5 yellow ray flowers but no disc flowers. There are three subspecies of Lactuca viminea, including subsp. chondrilliflora, subsp. ramosissima, and subsp. viminea. This herbaceous plant is useful but can be troublesome as a weed, requiring constant manual weeding. Pliant lettuce is also a super rare houseplant that needs regular watering and direct light, ideally less than a foot from a window. It prefers well-draining soil and can benefit from gentle, organic fertilizer during the peak growing season.
