Haven't seen this type before,but ,yes you do need to top up as they grow,and need to keep the foliage covered yet,as it has forecast frosty nights for later this week,and coming colder.If it gets frosted,it will blacken the foliage,and kill them.It is still very early to leave them unprotected.Could you move the grower into a shed or greenhouse,or cover them ,till cold spell is over ?
