Looking for a sustainable way to save money and eat fresh? You’ll love this easy, no-garden-needed method to grow endless lettuce at home. All you need is the leftover base of a romaine or butter lettuce, a little water, and sunlight — no soil required (until later).
Let’s walk you through the step-by-step method used by thousands who say:
💬 “I haven’t bought lettuce in months!”
🌿 What You Need
- 🥬 1 lettuce base (from romaine, bibb, or butter lettuce)
- 💧 A shallow bowl or dish
- 🌞 Access to a sunny windowsill
- 🌱 (Optional) Soil and a pot if you want to transplant later
🔁 Step-by-Step: How to Regrow Lettuce at Home
1️⃣ Save the Base
Cut your store-bought lettuce about 2 inches from the bottom and keep that core.
2️⃣ Place in Water
Set the lettuce base upright in a shallow bowl with water, just enough to cover the roots.
3️⃣ Find Sunlight
Place the bowl near a window with direct sunlight for at least 6 hours a day.
4️⃣ Change the Water
Change the water every 1–2 days to avoid bacteria or mold.
5️⃣ Watch It Grow
In just 3–5 days, you’ll see little green leaves sprouting from the center!
6️⃣ (Optional) Transplant
Once roots grow after 7–10 days, you can transplant into soil for faster, fuller growth — either in a pot or your garden.
