Plant Care Tips
- Sunlight: Salad leaves prefer partial sunlight, especially in warmer climates. They need about 4-6 hours of sun daily. In hotter regions, provide shade in the afternoon to prevent the leaves from wilting.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, as salad greens prefer damp soil. Mulching around the plants can help retain moisture and keep the soil cool.
- Soil & Fertilizing: Salad greens grow best in rich, well-draining soil with plenty of organic matter. Use a balanced, nitrogen-rich fertilizer every 3-4 weeks during the growing season to encourage leafy growth. Harvest leaves frequently to promote continuous production.
