I got my firefly petunias from light.bio around a month or so ago and they're now just starting to take off. This picture was taken in a dark room with no windows, though I'm sure the phone brightened it up a bit. They aren't as bright as I was imagining, but I still find them neat.
I got some Spring of last year! I have ‘em outside. Not terribly impressive but a fun novelty.
@movies Aye! I agree. It would be cool if one day they could make them maybe 10 times as bright with other color options. Yours lasted through the winter? That is nice to hear.
It's not a light bulb lol. If it were ten times as bright the plant would exhaust it's own energy and die
@Doxatek lol. This picture oversells how bright they are. A guesstimate on my part would be a 10x increase would bring it up to the level of a glow in the dark sticker.
That's true. Fluorescence is just metabolically expensive.
I'm glad these are still being sold. I first read about them last year, but was moving at the time. I'd really like to get some.
I wish they would ship to europe, i allways wanted one of those.
God, I want some of these so bad. They are so fun. I gotta sort the plants I have still haha.
Those look damn cool. I'm not really a plant person, but I'd be sure to try to change if I could get some of those. Doesn't look like they ship to Europe though.
I'm afraid no reputable seller does, as the EU has a ban on gene-edited organisms like plants and fish. Understandable but i'd sure would have liked to have a tank filled with Glofish
This is so cool. Thank you for sharing!
I got my wife some of those last year. I wish they had lasted longer, but we couldn't find a balance of sunlight that they liked. And yeah, they not all that bright, but still super cool.
In between life, we garden.
