Depends on where you are putting these, and where the light source is. If they are going to be alongside a south facing window or you plan to use grow lights, you could get some higher light plants like succulents, and herbs but that also is a pretty deep pot and succulent and cacti don’t have large root wads, so they could get overwatered easily.
I would say for bright indirect light a combination of heart leaf philodendron varieties like brasil, neon, micans look great cascading down the wall, scindapsis (also called satin pothos but isn’t has a lovely texture). Also pothos others mentioned but I like the form of the others better. Not sure how high above the tv these would be but they would have to be pruned back or they would cover the tv, also up higher on the wall generally you have less light unless you have skylights or floor to ceiling windows. Spider plants wouldn’t get super long but would drape over, you could also look at tradescantia varieties they can tolerate a little lower light.
You would buy these as plants not typically seeds. You can find pretty grown out plants at big box stores but even better check out your local nursery or plant shop.
Zz and snake plants are also very forgiving and would do well in the light conditions you describe. Snake plants grow as straight upright blades. Zz plants grow in more of fanning structure.
A mix of pathos and zz plants could be pretty nice having both semi upright and trailing foliage but could look a little on the messy side.
Yikes! Thanks for that lead. A search on that confirms what I‘m seeing, and explains why my Amaranth has been stunted. This is going to be a challenge to control.
Also looks like it could be spider mites. I'm not sure how common they are outside of large scale agriculture, but I've found them on my grandma's flowers before. Underside of the leaf may have small traces of spider webs, but the mites themselves are very difficult to see without a magnifying glass without having a trained eye for them
Joking aside, I don't know about Dahlias, but I know there are many plants that you have to take extra precautions when transplanting, such as waiting till after bloom or during a certain season. Could be over/under watering. Like I said, I don't know Dahlias, but those are some starting points till someone with the knowledge shows up.
Flower stem and leaves seemed fine and not dehydrated (I did the fold method on leaves to check).
We did not water after transplanting.
I did end up giving her a little bit of water before bed last night though. And woke up this morning to her all perked up! Not sure if the water helped, or she became acclimated, but my daughter will be waking up happy!
I used the night sight feature on my phone's camera for this photo, however I would say the brightness level is pretty accurate to what you'd see with the the naked eye once adjusted to low light.
Perhaps a tad dimmer in real life, but it provides enough light to faintly illuminate really close objects such as my hand. It's super cool
Super neat. At some point I need to intern at a plant breeding lab just to inject that into all of my houseplants that can tolerate it. Right now I've got a mix of pothos, hoyas, philodendrons, and jasmines trailing around my house and it'd be so much better if they were one long nightlight.
I really hope this company (and others) are successful, it would be so awesome to have a variety of plant species available in GMO bioluminescent forms lol.
Nice! I got mine recently too but haven't checked it for luminescence since I've been busy - I still need to repot it and hang it in a better spot that gets better sunlight so I'm not expecting it to be bright just yet.
Mine had almost no glow when I first got it, and I mangled the roots during repotting so it lost all of its leaves. This is its first new growth and it's nice and bright, I hope yours does well too!
Mine arrived all mangled, with most of the roots ripped off during shipping. It's recovering now, looking forward to hopefully getting to see the bioluminescence in a few weeks
I was in the same boat with a very faint or no glow at first. With fertilization and some bright lighting you'll start getting new growth that'll glow!
