I specifically cloned these and cross bred them to give to my friends. They weren’t even that interesting of a plant, the light gimmick is shit, and you can barely see it on a new moon night. But since they told me I wasn’t allowed to propagate it, that was the first thing I did.
I can imagine a big wall of these, or the next varietal, illuminating a space and making oxygen as well. Maybe not street lights, but definitely night lighting in buildings.
Not nearly enough light.
yeah this is definitely a case of “let’s do this because it’s fun and try to think of a legitimate use for it later”.
also you can get glowing petunias now from https://light.bio/.
seems predatory

They developed the product and deserve to make some money from it.
Also they are purely decorative plants, it’s not like people need these things for food or any other reason. Hard to call that “predatory”.
Actually nature developed most of the product and as a card carrying member of nature, I expect to see my royalties check in the mail soon.

The glow is just barely visible at night with a new moon.
Source: I bought a bunch of these and regret it.
Their new generation glows much better, but not enough for outside replacements. Source: Ive bought both generations!
