I tested the Light Bio Firefly Petunia

NOT a sponsored video! I just got a LightBio Firefly Petunia early and wanted to share my initial unbiased review of the plant.

could u post an update pls? I hope the plant is glowing brighter now?🌿

Dude, unless that was a very special video camera, that's a pretty strong glow!

Previous attempts at glowing plants (which I have never had a chance to see) as well as the bioluminescent mycellia that I have had a chance to see (Panellus stypticus & Omphalotus nidiformis) usually require long exposures to photograph and can likely only be seen after acclimating oneself to the dark for a couple of minutes (at least that was my experience with the aforementioned fungi).

I just ordered one of these yesterday! I think they state on their site that the brightest glowing comes from new growth, so you are correct in your statement that it will probably be better looking once its healthy and growing well.

First time I've seen your channel too, so far seems like cool content and you seem to be an entertaining host. Will be subscribing!

I have one of these also, and after spending some time in a fresh pot and giving it lots of sun and nutrients, and doing some deadheading of the flowers, it's producing tons of new growth, and the glow has expanded almost all the way down the stem and into the leaves for my plant. I will be taking some cuttings and hopefully creating some siblings for it very soon.

This is definitely a video that will need to follow up!! Want to know if that'll be brighter later and if it was just your eyes weren't adjusted to the dark (most cameras can't pick it up anyway)

Thank you for doing the "dark room check" on these... I was quite skeptical that it was not camera trickery to get them to glow like they did on the advertisements I saw, not really into flowery plants but gonna have to make an exception for these lol

Hey thanks for reminding me I bought some of those from light bio. Hopefully mine come soon. 😊

I would love to get into tissue culture as a hobby. One day! Very inspiring channel. Back in the day (1990?) I was a TA for a biotech course and we did a GUS transformation of tobacco with a firefly luciferase gene. Very easy to spot the glowing transformants! That was 34 years ago (omg).

Careful with publicly propagating these plants. The applicable patent includes propagation for personal use and not just propagation for resale. It's a bummer because I really wanted to do a propagation video with them for my own channel but now I'll have to buy some un-patented petunias for the video instead. I'm not saying I'm not propagating these plants. I'm not saying I'm propagating these plants. I'm just saying it's probably a good idea to not be seen propagating these plants. ;)

I can't wait for the next video! I don't know if I requested it, but I'm definitely interested in seeing it explained. I set up my whole lab space just for this.

I just got mine the other day and it is awesome! Thank you for the video!

[nothankyou]

Omg you already have them! Hope they ship out mine soon also - thank u for the review!

[rora]

I’ve always been interested in plants. Your channel is a dream come true, thank you.

[slotimesgrow]

I’ve always been curious about those plants, very cool!

[I-Am-L]

Omg I love Becky Chambers, I made my way through the Wayfareres series in the last year or so :)
Nice job covering this hyper specific glowing plant trend.

[floob]

Awesome! I was looking into buying one of these.

[Trekmario]

Hope you make a update to this . Love to see if they glow stronger with age .

[TehChaps]

Didnt know they were shipping, hope mine comes soon!

[perkidanman]

One thing I wasn’t expecting was how fragrant they are. I got it for my bedroom and it’s finally rebounding. I love the glow and scent.

[coffeeandrage]

Thanks for the book recommendation!
And you've satisfied my curiosity! Our local plant stores sell them for 40 bucks a piece! 😂
