  • Important Customer Note The water lettuce plants we cultivate have been grown under controlled artificial lighting conditions. Direct exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays can stress these plants and potentially harm them due to the sudden intensity of natural sunlight. To ensure their health and successful adaptation, these plants must be kept in a shaded area for 2 3 weeks. This gradual transition period allows them to acclimatize to the outdoor environment safely before being exposed to direct sunlight.
