How to fertilize Bluff Lettuce
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Bluff Lettuce after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Marilyn Died :( For context, I live at my Dad's every other week during summer. I got a gorgeous bluff lettuce, and I named her Marilyn, and she was doing so well!!! She was absolutely THRIVING!! But one week, I came back from my mom's house, and the top half of her leaves were shriveled and BLACK. The lower half was almost see-through and really brown. I don't know what killed her, and I really want to know the cause so I can keep Walt and Hector safe :( Rip Marilyn, I miss you

Watering multiple plants… I made a terrarium today and have three succulents in it. If Greg tells me to water each 1/8 cup, do I water 3/8 cups to the whole thing? I also have three succulents in a small pot. Same question. You can see the little pot three plants in the photo. #plantsmakemehappy

What kind of soil is best for Bluff Lettuce? I’ve had mine since June and it seems to be doing well but I think I need a different soil for better drainage. We are going into winter here and I’ll need a grow light too. Any reccs?? TIA🤍 #BluffLettuce
