A simple way to accelerate the germination of lettuce seeds is to soak the screened seeds in clear water for 6-7 hours, then plant them in moss at 20-25℃ and put them in a ventilated environment for 5-7 days to accelerate the germination. After seeds are germinated, they can be mixed with wet river sand for sowing.

A simple method to accelerate the germination of lettuce seeds

Before accelerating the germination of lettuce, seeds with smooth skin and no pests and diseases should be selected, washed with clear water, peeled off, soaked in warm water for 6-7 hours to ensure that the seeds can fully absorb water, and then planted in moss at a temperature of 20-25℃.

In the process of accelerating germination, lettuce should be watered once every 1 ~ 2 days, and turned over once every 2 days to ensure that the soil is moist and cultivated in a ventilated and semi-shady environment. Generally, it takes 5 ~ 7 days to germinate. After germination, the seeds can be dug out of the soil, and the soil on the seeds can be cleaned before sowing.

When sowing lettuce, you can mix the seeds with wet river sand and then sow them in the soil. Select mixed soil containing garden soil, vermiculite, river sand, perlite and humus, fill a layer of fine sand with a thickness of 1 ~ 2 cm, insert several holes in the soil surface and cover it with plastic film.

After sowing lettuce, water should be poured once to ensure that water can penetrate into the soil. Then when the seeds break ground and grow, they should be watered again and the plastic film should be removed in time. After the plants grow to a certain height, they should be watered normally, and a small amount of base fertilizer and nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer should be applied.
