Growing Romain Lettuce Indoors from Seeds | Egg Cartons Method

In this video, we want to show you how easy and fast you can grow romaine lettuce from seeds in containers.
Romaine Lettuce is easy to grow, and growing lettuce in containers is even easier. Most romaine lettuce varieties will be ready to harvest as full heads within 50-75 days
Instead of plastic seed-starter pots or expensive kits, we will use egg cartons for seed sowing and germination.
Egg carton gardening is an easy way to start vegetables, flowers, and herbs. You also can try this cheap gardening experiment with the kids.

So at one point your instructions are to gently remove the seedlings from the cups; then you say you can plant them right in the cups; then you show them planted outside the original cups and farther apart than the egg carton cups would be--so which is right? Is it possible to just plunk the egg carton seedlings and all into a pot and expect lettuce to result? Thanks for clarifying.

Both ways are fine, just make sure your egg carton is made of biodegradable material that can be decomposed. If you are not sure then it׳s better to take the seedlings out of the egg carton before planting.

Another question: after harvesting, can we use the same pot and soil for another set of seedlings to grow the next bunch of lettuce or do we need all new soil? Thanks for your videos.

It's generally fine to reuse potting soil if your plant was healthy, you just need to improve the texture and nutrients in the potting soil before reuse. In case you did notice pests or diseases on your plant, we highly recommend to sterilize the mix to avoid infecting next year's plants.

Video did not show to harden (acclimate to outdoors) the tiny seedlings before transplanting it to planter and taking it directly outdoors.

[@DinasGarden]

Thanks for your input! In this scenario, since the seedlings were grown and stayed in the balcony, hardening off wasn't necessary. Typically, though, it's an essential step, and you're right to mention it. Thanks for highlighting this aspect!
