LED Plant Art- Hot or Not?
I know that urban gardening is a massive trend. And that LED grown plants are a massive trend. But, comon! We all know that if you want plants to grow you can’t use GREEN lights!
This street installation is clearly some sort of artistic message about vertical gardens, urban landscape, and some other very esoteric themes. The type of esoteric themes that can be expressed by sticking leaves and LED lights in plastic to-go containers. I have to say, I’d rather see this guy spend his time, say, actually planting real plants? I’d love to know what you think…. Hot or Not?

From this Appnote at least Soybeans like green almost as much as they like red and blue. Arabidopsis likes green just 30% less than red and blue.

What a great idea. I wonder how many colors you could get going using flowers. It would be better if there was a sort of plant with led grow light all in one so that you can grow in the container. A small solar cell on the side with battery pack to power the light etc. Ok I went off on a tangent there but it would be a neat system.
