My bioluminescent petunia - eviltoast

Not an ad or anything but I got it from light.bio if you’re curious. Super cool product, I’ve been waiting for a company to successfully bring a bioluminescent plant to the market for a decade and it finally happened!

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it is what it is, however petunias are very easy to propagate and you can do whatever you want with your plant as long as you aren’t selling it.

    I already have a second one growing from a cutting I took.

      Ok, I’ll take back some of my hate. I thought they had put some sort of monsanto-like ‘if you try to reproduce it on your own they’ll die’ gene.
      If it’s not ‘pay $40 if you want another plant’ then that’s more reasonable.

      Did you do anything special with the cutting? I want to keep growing a few more of these and maybe save some for next year.

        I just dipped the base of it in root growth hormone powder before planting.
