Product code : WHPER-0107
The 'Sucrette' mini romaine forms a small, tight head with thick leaves. Its sweet flavor makes it popular for salads where texture matters as much as volume. The supplier indicates a maturity of 55 days after sowing; this timeframe varies depending on growing conditions. Plant seedlings in fertile, loose, and well-drained soil. Consistent growth depends, in particular, on steady moisture and sufficient space between plants. Prefer cooler periods, as the crop is sensitive to bolting. In summer, pay closer attention to watering and adjust the location for high heat.

Growing method
The 'Sucrette' mini romaine forms a small, compact head with thick leaves. Its sweet flavor makes it popular for salads where texture is as important as volume. Begin growing 'Sucrette' green mini romaine lettuce in an area prepared for sowing. Sowing depth: 0.5 cm (0.2 in). Recommended spacing: 20 to 25 cm (7.9 to 9.8 in) between plants; 40 to 45 cm (15.7 to 17.7 in) between rows. Germination temperature: 10 to 15 °C (50 to 59 °F). Emergence generally takes 8 to 10 days. Choose between picking baby leaves or harvesting a full rosette. Spacing and cutting time should follow this choice to maintain a tender texture. At the start of the season, prepare your materials and check soil conditions before setting your schedule. Adapt your actions to the stage of the plants rather than a rigid date. After emergence, ensure sufficient light and space out seedlings to prevent excessive competition. Gradually acclimate plants destined for the outdoors. During growth, monitor the foliage, moisture, and the possible appearance of pests.
Soil and care
The right care,at the right time.
Soil pH
6.0 to 7.0 — general recommended range for vegetable gardens
Watering
Regular
Soil type
Use a soil or substrate that allows excess water to drain while retaining the moisture necessary for the roots. Work the soil when it is dry enough to avoid compaction. Remove weeds before planting and adapt the addition of organic matter to the crop. For containers, choose a potting mix appropriate for the plants being grown. A soil analysis is more useful than a systematic addition of amendments for determining the necessary corrections.
Fertilization
Base fertilization on soil fertility, the substrate used, and observed growth. Follow the dosages indicated on the chosen product; increasing applications does not guarantee better results. Pre-enriched potting soil does not require the same interventions as a poor substrate. Avoid placing concentrated fertilizer against seeds or fragile roots. Water according to the manufacturer's instructions and reduce applications when growth slows down.
Moisture
Regularly moist soil, without standing water
Seasonal care
The 'Sucrette' mini romaine forms a small, tight head with thick leaves. Its mild flavor explains its popularity for salads where texture counts as much as volume. At the start of the season, prepare your equipment and check the soil condition before setting your schedule. Adapt your interventions to the plants' growth stage rather than a rigid date. After germination, ensure sufficient light and space out the seedlings to avoid excessive competition. Gradually acclimate plants intended for the outdoors. During growth, observe the foliage, moisture levels, and the potential appearance of pests. Identify the problem before choosing an intervention. Remove debris that hinders aeration, keep paths accessible, and re-evaluate watering after rain. Note the sowing dates and key results. At the end of the cycle, clean your tools and store remaining packets in a cool, dry place. These observations allow you to adjust future sowings to your location more precisely. Plant your seeds in fertile, loose, and well-drained soil. Consistent growth depends notably on steady moisture and sufficient space between plants. Prefer cool periods when the crop is sensitive to bolting. In summer, pay closer attention to watering and adapt the location to extreme heat. Weed carefully so as not to disturb the surface roots.
Container growing
A garden,within reach.
Choose between picking young leaves and harvesting a complete rosette. Spacing and cutting time must follow this choice to maintain a tender texture. The mini romaine 'Sucrette' forms a small, tight head with thick leaves. Its mild flavor explains its appeal for salads where texture counts as much as volume. Place the container in its final location before filling it. Choose a pot with drainage holes that is stable and large enough for root development; a simple closed cache-pot does not allow for water drainage. Use a potting mix rather than compact garden soil. Moisten the substrate before sowing or planting, without saturating it. Leave a rim at the top to facilitate watering and keep space between plants. Regularly check the moisture with your finger, as the surface can dry out while the bottom remains moist. Water slowly until water comes out through the holes, then empty the saucer. During hot weather, check the pots more often. Fertilize according to the crop's needs and the instructions on the chosen product. Roots have a limited volume, so container gardening requires different monitoring than growing in open ground. Position any necessary supports during installation. Keep easy access to inspect the leaves, remove damaged parts, and harvest without pulling on the stems. At the end of the cycle, remove debris and clean the equipment before reusing it.

Companion plants
Organize neighboring crops according to their light requirements, height, and space occupied at maturity. Prevent tall plants from permanently shading smaller ones or blocking access for watering. Successive crops can use the same space if the first is harvested before the next one expands. Flowers diversify the garden, but companion planting does not guarantee the absence of pests. Keep enough air between plants and observe the interactions on-site. Use companion planting as an organizational tool, without attributing automatic protection against diseases to it.

Edible parts
Leaves per crop
'Sucrette Verte' mini romaine lettuce. For 4 servings, allow 500 g (18 oz) of vegetables, 1 small onion, 15 ml (1 tbsp) of oil, and 60 ml (¼ cup) of water. Prepare a side dish of cooked vegetables with herbs, choosing only the edible parts of the harvest. Wash the vegetables, remove any damaged parts, and cut them into uniform pieces. Heat a little oil in a saucepan, add a minced onion, and let it soften over medium heat. Incorporate the firmer vegetables first, then a small amount of water to prevent sticking. Cover and continue cooking until they become tender. Add delicate leaves or quick-cooking pieces toward the end. Season with fresh herbs, pepper, and a little salt to taste. Serve with rice, bread, or another cooked grain. Adjust the cooking time to the vegetable used: the desired textures vary depending on the harvest. Refrigerate leftovers promptly in a clean container. This preparation is intended to be consumed as a cooked dish; it is not a canning method.
