Symptoms

Willowleaf lettuce tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 40℉, while winter changes might not be obvious, spring may see reduced or absent sprouting.

Solutions

In spring, remove any sections that did not sprout successfully.

Signs of Heat Stress in Willowleaf lettuce

Symptoms

In summer, Willowleaf lettuce should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, the plant's leaves might lighten, curl easily, suffer sunburn, and in severe instances, the whole plant could wilt and dry out.

Solutions

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