Hoe verbouw je Batavia groene pluksla?
Especially in the first few weeks, the little plant is quite vulnerable to bad weather and pests like slugs. That's why you start it indoors and plant the grown seedling in your box about 4 weeks later.
Another advantage of starting indoors is that you can make optimal use of your spaces this way. Because in those four weeks, something else can be there first.
If you don't want to start indoors, you can also sow directly in your box from April. But be sure to protect your seedling well against unfavorable weather and pests.
In a cold spring you can cover the plants at night with the MM-muts to make them grow faster.
Watch out for snails: they love the seedlings. Once the plants are a bit bigger, they leave this species alone. Super easy.
The step-by-step sowing and cultivation instructions for red lettuce are in the MM-app. You can also preview the entire cultivation process on the Knowledge Base.
What do you use green plucking lettuce for?
Start harvesting when the leaves are about 10 cm. Then the leaves are still very tender: great for salads. But even if they are bigger, they remains tasty.
Only when the plants are older than a month do the leaves become somewhat stiffer and somewhat bitter. Then use it for a stew or for stir-frying. Or for a nice soup 😀
