WBJohn's Lettuce Little Gem Care Instructions

If sowing directly, sow at a depth of approx. 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) between Romaine lettuce plants.

Romaine lettuce 'Little Gem' normally tends to reach to a mature height of 20.0 cm [imperial: 7.8 inches] so ensure you have enough space in your garden for this plant.

Your garden has partial sun light which is ideal for Romaine lettuce 'Little Gem'.

Remember to water often.

Your garden's USDA Hardiness Zone (8b) is within the ideal range for Romaine lettuce 'Little Gem'. The recommended range is between Zone 4 and 9.

Try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.8 and 6.8 as Romaine lettuce 'Little Gem' likes to be in acidic soil.

Common Romaine lettuce problems include Slugs, Snails, and Cucumber Mosaic Virus, so keep a close eye out for any developing symptoms.
