Sprouting takes 7-14 days at 15-22°C. Thin or transplant seedlings to 20-25 cm apart for heading types, closer for loose-leaf. Harvest baby leaves in 25-30 days and full heads or cut-and-come-again leaves in 45-60 days; pick outer leaves to keep plants producing.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen is the best time to sow lettuce seeds in India?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow from October to February in the plains for a winter crop, and year-round in hill stations.
