How to fertilize Garden 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 Garden Lettuce after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

So I'm propagating a lettuce heart I got from the store. It's in a glass of water currently to get root growth but so far there aren't any. It is growing from the top, though, so there's that. How long should I expect to see roots? It's been 1-2 weeks now #Lettuce

I had made a bird feeder out of wood a few years ago, and now it is rotten. I don't really care about it anymore but inside I found bird seed that had sprouted! So I took it inside and out it in a pot with my 2 Aloe Vera plants and my 1 Ox tongue plant. If she gets too big I will move her into her own pot, but now she grew a ton, and I don't know if I should move her out or not yet. I don't know what I should do 🤷🏽♀️???
