For what its worth, my Pseudacorus are grown in soil in a bed along with
bearded and lilies. They grow, thrive and bloom each year and do just
fine. If anything the plants might be somewhat shorter.
If your seedlings look healthy and are growing well I would not
introduce more water at this time. And please raise the light fixtures!
