So, what's a lettuce lover to do? The general rule of thumb is to water your lettuce when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. But, let's be real, who has time to constantly check the soil? It's like trying to keep track of your cat's favorite sleeping spot – it's a never-ending battle.
On a more serious note, overwatering is a common mistake that can lead to root rot and other problems. So, it's better to err on the side of caution and underwater slightly. But don't worry, your lettuce won't shrivel up and die if you forget to water it from time to time – it's a pretty hardy plant.
