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.
