Product Description
Don't think you have room for grow lights and a humidifier for your plants? Think again. Winner of the Mailorder Gardening Association's 2000 Green Thumb award, this compact Intelligent Plant Light is the answer to all of your indoor gardening needs. Plug the light in, and the 9 watt full spectrum fluorescent lamp turns on and off automatically, with daylength in cycle with the seasons. The telescoping stem adjusts to fit plants 7" to 14"tall. And unlike most fluorescent shop lights, this plant light has a built in moisture sensor that reminds you when it's time to water. Just insert the water sensor in the soil, and a flashing light lets you know when the soil is dry. The pebbled base holds a 5 1/2" pot, and serves as a combination catch basin/humidity tray to create the right moisture balance for your plant.

Best invention for indoor gardeners in years,

This review is from: Intelligent Plant Light - Indoor Grow Light (Kitchen)
I am a very good gardener, but even I have my limits with indoor gardening. For years I have never understood what people like about African Violets - those pink, white, purple little plants with fuzzy leaves that some people keep in colonies on their desks and window sills. They fuss over them, filter their water, dust their leaves, tweeze off old flowers and talk to them. I mean what do you say about plants with names like Itty Bit, Cute as a Bug, Ma's Easter Corsage and Space Babies?
The Intelligent Plant Light has changed my view of them forever. You cannot fail with this item unless you water your plants with coffee and use them for ash trays. This thing moniters their humidity, light, water and blooming with a new kind of cool light. Give this to your friends who swear they have black thumbs. I now am hooked and have over 20 violets with wack-a-doo names, as well as a coleus, several geraniums and even an impatiens held over from the summer and too pretty to throw away. TRY IT!

Perfect Perfect Perfect!,

This review is from: Intelligent Plant Light - Indoor Grow Light (Kitchen)
I LOVE these lights! I was skeptical at first but am back today to order yet another one. Do you have a dark room with no windows or just a dark corner of your house, put one of these on any table and viola!
Here's how it works: Once you plug it in and set the season, winter, spring, summer or fall it's set. The light turns on and off after approx 12 hours on the spring setting, it will cycle through and go to summer then fall and winter and shortening the length of light hours to simulate sunlight. (just push the button back to spring if you want to grow violets) Also there is a metal prong attached you can pop into your pot and it will tell you when you need to water by how far you put it in the soil,a light flashes on the back of the arm base when it's time to water. The prong is several inches long so push it all the way down for cactus, yes, these are working great for my cactus by keeping the light only 1-3 inches above the plant, or down just a tiny bit for a water loving plant like a peace lily. I can grow African violets like a champ by keeping it on the spring or summer setting. Oh, and you can fill the base with an inch or so of water if you want to create some humidity, just sit your pot on the raised bumps and keep the water below them. Tells you when to water, adds humidity if you want (works great for orchids) turns off and on automatically. It's a winner all around in my opinion. I bought four of these and am back for my fifth today. A nice plant on a stand with this light brightens the gloomiest corner. These are packaged well and would be a wonderful gift!

This review is from: Intelligent Plant Light - Indoor Grow Light (Kitchen)
These indoor plant lights are relatively inexpensive, provide good quality light and come with some added features that are good for keeping difficult to grow plants. For example, there is a moisture tray with raised studs to keep your plant above excess water. This is very good for orchids because it provides humidiy without having your plants sit in the water. Also, you can raise and lower the height of the light within limits. In addition, this unit has a moisture probe that you can push down into the soil or growing medium at different depths. When the plant needs to be watered an indicator light will tell you. By varying the depth of the probe, you are measuring for different degrees of dryness. Once you get the depth worked out, you are in business for that particular species of plant.
One of the poor design features of this unit is the timer. Interestingly, you need to plug it in at dawn to take advantage of the seasonal light cycle. In the manual, they suggest resetting the season on the first day of each season and plugging it in at sunrise. This isn't exactly covenient or well thought out. The probe also is bit light and has a short wire. A little extra slack would be very nice as would a heavier duty probe. For specimen plants like African violets, miniature orchids and others that are difficult to grow, these things are great and cheap enough to leave in an office environment without worrying. The light is also very nice for a bedroom specimen plant and not bright enough from a distance to interfere with sleep. These lights also cast enough periphery light to be other plants nearby, if necessary. I sometimes do that when a particular plant is not blooming. I have several of these and they are really a nice addition to the house. My house is a bit dark and this is a great way to add some additional light and a natural accident. The colors of flowers are also particularly vivid under this type of spectrum. I don't think you'll be disappointed if you pick a few of these up. They also make great gifts.
