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

Help I wanted to grow my own lettuce at home (inside), so I cut the bottom part of a store bought lettuce and kept it in this cup with water for about a week.. These black/brown spots started to appear, and water turned that color. What could I do to better help my plant? 🥲 #lettuce

This is my first time growing lettuce and potatoes. I’m doing everything in pots this year. My 2 year old mix lab likes to dig everything up lol. So far everything is doing great.

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 🤷🏽♀️???
