Hello! There is a 1 month update on this plant in my newest video: bit.ly/3UkUnz2
Link is broken I think? Took me to a page saying restricted video
This took me to a video on plant viruses?
@@samtails4324 yea it's literally at the end
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.
I love to hear this! I can't wait to get mine.
What happens when you shine a UV light on it and then put in dark room? Or hold it in the sun and then immediately move to a dark room? Please test it and report back
The chemical reaction causing this isn't based on immediate light exposure. It's based on the health of the plant and how actively it's growing, not a phosphate photoreaction and not UV biofluorescence. Flash it in the sun and there will be no difference.
Where can I haz one?
could u post an update pls? I hope the plant is glowing brighter now?🌿
There will be an update at the end of my next video!
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).
you are correct. I have one plant and the blooms glow quite well considering what is currently available on the market.
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!
How long did it take your to arrive?
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
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)
I just got mine the other day and it is awesome! Thank you for the video!
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).
I’ve always been curious about those plants, very cool!
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.
Omg you already have them! Hope they ship out mine soon also - thank u for the review!
Hey thanks for reminding me I bought some of those from light bio. Hopefully mine come soon. 😊
I can't wait to get mine!
Awesome! I was looking into buying one of these.
So cool!
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.
Thank you for sharing these information... and special thanks in-advance for the meristem culture... I am Anxiously waiting for that video.
Hope you make a update to this . Love to see if they glow stronger with age .
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.
What do they smell like?
@@pendlera2959 it’s a sweet, floral smell. Not like grandma-type perfume but a mellower sweet smell.
great video
Would it glow more after some some light?
Very interesting, thanks for sharing.?Hopefully yours one grow well in the jars and we can see a better glow in the future ❤❤❤
Didnt know they were shipping, hope mine comes soon!
The healthier it is the more it will glow.
I worked with the luminous bacteria Photobacterium phosphorei, the light is wonderful
I would get glowing plants if they were a monstera, philodendron, or even better would be orchids!
Thanks 🙏🏻
Hope to see glowing forest once in my life span
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 don't recognize patents on life so I'd absolutely spread them around to people.
I'm just gonna say I created my own strain by drinking mt. Due and peeing on them. 😂
Nature always finds a way
I saw them a month ago and wanted to pre-order one, but unfortunatly it's for US only ;(
But it would be great if you can make an update video on it soon :)
Any updates on the brightness of the plant?
I just got mine the other day and it reallly does gloowww I put it in the yard by my pond and it’s going good so far just haven’t planted it yet
Hi, I've been following you here for a while now, I came to ask for some help. Recently I have been trying to grow crops in plastic pots, the material is resistant to autoclaving, but the vacuum forms inside when it comes out of the autoclave, causing the pot to crumple, how can I solve this?
Any update of the firefly petunia
Curious if you know how these plants are from cuttings or have they created a plant that produces seed that can grow into this illuminated madness? I'm anxious for grass seed in this form!
Hey Laur, thanks for the review! I'm trying to source pp portion cups exactly the size you are using in this vid. Can you point me in the right direction?
you should try and tissue culture some columnar cacti.
Can we see it again in a few weeks to check if it's any better, please and thanks.
Definitely! I’ll make an update
First time viewer, great videos. Love the scientific approach but to quote the great Malcolm "life, ah, find a way." Lol. I'm sure you get this alot but would you ever do Marijuana breeding and cloning?
Did you try letting them set out in the sunshine to absorb sunshine
I think she should put it in the sun for a day and see what it looks like at night that's the real test
Wow, yours looks so good! Mine was beat to crap and definitely does not glow.
thanks, this interesting.
I left a comment on your previous about meri, try TC your varigated phal with it, the meri tissue in the little green root tip..., altho am unsure if it will work on semi solid or if you need liquid media and a shaker. Im all about orchid species down in Aus and have yet to muck around with phals. Ohhh the slow slippery slope of TC and orchids 😂 sooo rewarding tho
That book has 4.8 rating with over 480 reviews on Audible I'm looking forward to listening to it. 😊
Mine arrived yesterday very faint glow have to be right next to it to see it. Have them under grow lights now i hope they glow more.
Mine is on order.. Tik tok.. Won't ship to Michigan until it's warmer I've been told
Mine arrive in April.....I hope I am able to micropropagate them.
Are you located in a warmer zone? I'm wondering if they are shipping out by last frost date? I'm in zone 7a and still patiently waiting.
Luckyyy, I preordered mine but haven’t gotten it yet 😭
When you preorder, do you only get 1 singular flower?
@@RugMann you get one plant in a 4 inch pot that might have a couple blooms on it give it like 3 weeks and it will start to flower it costs $30 with $25 shipping but if you order more then one the price goes down a bit I bought 3 and it came out to like $108
Can you put the plants In-Vitro as soon as you get them? Or do you let them get used to your new environment first?
Usually better to let them acclimate so the plants are as healthy as possible
@plantsinjars Thank you. I was thinking that was the case but wanted to make sure. I just got some philodendrons that I'm going to work with in the lab, but have been letting them acclimate until I get the hormones in.
Congratulations on the new setup by the way! Looks amazing!
Note that the plant is more than likely stressed out from shipping, so it's not as bright as it will be at it's healthiest. The enzymes that create the glow feed off nutrients and need oxygen and CO2 to keep producing. Keep taking care of it and it will glow stronger!
Does anyone know which ones glow the brightest?
How exactly does this help overthrow Big Plant?
This is the one downside in my opinion. They *patented it* 🤮.
Gotta Open Source the damn plants too lol
Imagine when these cross polinate with other plants❤
What happens if you use UV black light on it?
just wanted to point out I got mine a week ago and a lot of people showing the glow of these are doing it wrong, they only glow at night, it has nothing to do with light. Even the species of mushroom that the dna they used on this plant will only glow at night, so during the day even if taken into a dark room there will be almost no glow. I can confirm this glows as much as the ads show every single part of the plant glows but the leaves, even the stems of the plant glow at night, and glow quite bright it is honestly shocking how much they glow. it glows bright at around 11 am, and around 3 or 4 am it is very bright even in a pitch black room you can see every bit of the plant glowing green all the way from the dirt to the very top flower.
Why are you pasting this comment everywhere? Can u possibly upload a picture of what you are describing to your community feed on RUclips? Sorry I'm reading conflicting reviews
@@dmitriyapak I don't have a dlsr camera you need a very high quality camera to be able to see the glow the same way as the human eye, and sadly the camera on my phone can not do that lol. But I can 100% assure you it glows just as bright as shown on their site, however you need to care for the plant right to get it to glow. One it needs at least 6 hours of full sun a day that means not on a window sill, it has to be outside or under a grow light like any petunia, you can not grow a happy petunia indoors. And two it needs fertilized regularly one time a week with a water soluble fertilizer, just like you would any petunia you want to see grow well, and the most important part of all it only glows at night it does not matter if you bring it into a dark room in the middle of the day plants are not dumb, even if you mess with the light it knows it is still day. Even the mushroom that they got the dna from to add bioluminescence to the plant only glows at night, this video is the best I have seen so far. ruclips.net/video/yt8Utk1pcUI/видео.html it really shows the glow because it shows it at night not a dark room in the day and in person it is even a little brighter then that.
Do they sell seeds?
Is it sterile? Like is there no chance of it accidentally breeding with other petunia in the garden?
I didn’t make it through the video before I ordered. 💚💚💚
The first thing I heard of when I heard about these going public was this channel, lmao.
I wish they could have done an ivy or pothos
1:58 I choked with what you said here lol
cool
We are rapidly approaching a time when we could grow a garden that looks like it came from Pandora. I for one hope they keep creating these wacky plants. If it gets people, especially children interested in plants its totally worth it!
Could you please post an update? They just atarted shipping the plants out to everyone else and i got mine in today. Its very sad looking rn but thats probably from the shipping.
she probably forgot about them and they died lol
ROSE TISSUE CULTURE PLEASEEE
I just got mine today and there not glowing at all. But they are stressed
The website also says the parts that are growing glow the brightest. Mine arrived pretty beat up but I'm hoping it recovers and starts glowing in a week
Any change? @@zonedout6432
Mine are doing awesome after a few weeks. I’m in the process of taking cuttings.imma try and put them in a aerogarden and see if they do even better.
No tranquility in Florida. Dang girl anyways great video.
Was this the same group as the company who had a kickstarter for something like this, but got held up by lawyers?
Nope
Where can you get that plant?
From what I understand they sold 50k preorder and are out but just Google firefly petunia and you will find the website
Google light bio
The effect is so cool but I'm wondering if that is really due to the fungi or if it just has been given by some substance the flowers has been treated with cause it should have been visible on all the plant if the fungi conolized the whole plant instead it's shown just from the flowers ... What do you think? May it just be something that won't last? Even if it would be just on the flowers it should be replicated by the plant itself on any flower that arise if that is true than all the plant had been really engeeneered like they attest
did you actually never experience a moment of tranquility in your life?
moments like that deserve our effort to obtain them, even if just for some moments.
what's keeping you from experiencing tranquility? (maybe too personal, maybe not, hope you get your tranquility moment anyway)
I've seeded my firefly petunias out...
To be fair I've never seen a glow in the dark product that glows as well as depicted in marketing. They ALWAYS use long exposure shots to advertise. So you can't be too hard on them for doing what everyone else does
Her nose is glowing. Right!?
can you do another video , maybe it need full sun to work
I find this rather frightening because no one has informed the bees that we don’t want glowing honey. 😳
Well, those fungi don't glow very strong to begin with...
... Must refrain from "getting out of closet" jokes...
But yeah, it is something. Most of the time those commercial "home use" GELFs just fluorescence, like the GloFishes...
Love the tranquil dog! Good video.
Update? Ours arrived today…
My next vid (meristem tc) will have an update at the end!
You forgot to leave the part of the video where you saw how it looked after you left it for a couple days…
The update is in my meristem video
@@plantsinjars Thanks! Have you tried leaving it in a dark room then checking on it halfway through the night? I'm wondering if it is actually fully bioluminescent or if you need to charge it up with light first like traditional glow in the dark things
ya give us an update wth
They had slightly progressed since when I first met dudes behind this project back then in 2019 Barcelona(UPF), Karen Sarkysian specifically.
At least it's barely visible on camera without super-high exposure, but still not even close to their edited promotional materials.
Was saying back then, it's dumb to use luciferase system of the fungi while there are available a far closer to the plants groups of the organisms, which are also a photosynthetics too.
reality is often disappointing
Thanos🗿
Awesome!
You are very beautiful
😘🥰
Thanks for the review Rudolph...
CLONE!
CLONE!
CLONE!
CLONE!
Probably trademarked/coprighted/otherwise restricted.
Don't say never you could actually hold the plant for 20 years patent automatically expires
How are you so unimpressed by its glow. I just got mine and in the dark it's incredible. The closer you get to it, the more beautiful it looks.
I put it right next to me when I sleep in my bedroom. My pitch black bedroom.
My review was positive overall but I found it a little underwhelming compared to the marketing collateral 🤷🏻♀️
Good point, the marketing was a little ridiculous, making it seem like a glow stick when it's a very subtle glow, but it's something I still think everyone should try to see for themselves. Something about it...
😂
Hopefully it is either your lighting or make up, but on the shots of you in front of the shelves, your face shows possible signs of jaundice. I had a coworker look the same way a few weeks ago and he ended up in the hospital for severe kidney failure. I hope you are well.
You would rule in prison. ❤❤❤❤
Prison is not tranquil. I hear.
cool but not sure i'm a fan of bioengineering these days
not sure im a fan of (insert concept outside of my understanding) these days.
I LOVE the genetic engineering and the things it can do, i hate how Monsanto etc use it in a manner with Artificial Scarcity (no seed saving, no plant breeding from their seedstock etc).
Hopefully something between this channel’s Plant Tissue Culture Gear and some Microbio/Genetic Engineering Gear (a la @thethoughtemporium ) could lead to a really cool Open Source Genetically Engineered Crops/Plants sector!
Hey, plant lover! Are you genetically engineered like those plants? Were you shipped in a box? Do you glow in the dark? Apologies for not delivering my best comment, but today, that's all I've got... 😂😂🪴🪴☘☘
