Green Ice Lettuce Hielo Verde or Lactuca
sativa
Joel Vande Polder
How to care for it?
It needs
Full sun
moist, well drained and normal, loamy soil
It will take 45 days to mature
Fun Facts
It has an extra sweet flavor
It is also heat resistant
used to be toxic
ReproductionUses seeds
The pollen from the anther falls on to the stigma and travels down the style. It joins an egg in the ovary to form a zygote. Eventually the zygote will develop into a seed and the ovary will ripen into a fruit.
Sexual
Where it came from

used to be toxic
some believed Egyptians started changing it first
Ecosystem

Why?
I wanted to do lettuce because it was a kind of food so I could bring it home and have a salad.
