F) in the daytime, down to 24 deg. C (75 deg. F) at night, although it will tolerate temperatures outside this range. Now even better!As of Jan 2025, the quality of all items grown in our indoor facilities has been further improved. This includes all items classified as 'lowland,' such as this one. Items in our indoor facilities are now grown under extremely hard conditions, with high light levels and have super-tough leaves, making them much easier to establish.
