Signs of Cold Stress in Indian lettuce

Symptoms

Indian lettuce tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. If temperatures drop below 32℉, while winter changes might be subtle, spring may see reduced or absent germination.

Solutions

In spring, remove any sections that have not germinated successfully.

Signs of Heat Stress in Indian lettuce

Symptoms

During summer, Indian lettuce should be maintained below 77℉. When temperatures surpass 86℉, the plant's foliage may lighten, curl easily, suffer from sunburn, and in extreme cases, the whole plant might wilt and dry out.

Solutions

Remove any sun-damaged and desiccated portions. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from intense midday and afternoon sun, or deploy a shade cloth. Water the plant in the morning and evening to ensure soil moisture.
