Expert Q&A for How to Harvest Romaine Lettuce

Lettuce plants only need to be watered about once or twice a week, or every 4 or 5 days.

Just above the line of soil, cut off the romaine, just below the lower leaves. Doing this can actually offer a chance for more lettuce to grow.

Yes! To regrow lettuce, start by taking the lettuce and cutting it about 1 inch from the bottom. Put this stem in a shallow dish filled with about 1/2 inch of water. In about 10-12 days, the lettuce will be fully grown.

Until the sprouts appear, you water every 2 or 3 days. Romain germinates typically in 7 to 10 days.
