Iceberg Lettuce Seedling (پنیری) Hybrid F1

Iceberg lettuce seedlings are an ideal choice for home gardening, offering crisp, flavorful greens perfect for salads and wraps. This cool-weather crop thrives in partial shade and requires well-drained, nutrient-rich soil to grow to its full potential. Transplant the seedlings in the evening or in indirect sunlight to minimize shock.

Care and Maintenance

• Watering: Ensure consistent moisture, especially during dry spells, but avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot.
• Sunlight: Provide 4-6 hours of sunlight daily. Gradually increase exposure after initial transplantation.
• Mulching: Use organic mulch to retain soil moisture and control weeds.

Fertilization

• Use NPK 20-20-20 or 5-15-45 fertilizers every two weeks to support healthy growth.
• Alternatively, apply GrowthX fertilizer for a balanced nutrient supply and robust development.
