DIY Light Bulb Planters and Mini Terrariums Bring Too Many Puns
The ever-present flower on my desk sits in a skinny vase that doesn't exactly scream I'm-kinda-geeky-but-hey-it's-ok-because-I-make-cool-things. Time to start using a funky DIY planter or mini terrarium made of repurposed light bulbs. Maybe the what-a-bright-idea puns will be a bonus. More » -

FlowerEYE Pot Examines the Lightning Bolts Under the Soil
The FlowerEYE pot tracks soil humidity, light levels and ambient temperature, all while displaying a plant's root system like an episode of Storm Stories. If only this ultimate flowerpot technology actually existed, our perennials would rise again. [HomeTone via Unplggd] -

How To Keep Plants Alive Using LED Light Spikes
Pop Sci has a tutorial on how to build supplementary LED grow lights for plants. I'd assume you should use LEDs with fuller spectrums, and they're supplemental, but look neat. [PopSci via Lifehacker] -

Broto Aeroponic Pot Keeps Future Cold and Sterile (Like It Should Be)
Using the Aerogarden to grow plants without soil is by all means a neat idea, but the product isn't exactly urban chic. We like this concept more. -

JVC's Sound Garden Concept Is Modular, Bonsai'd-Up Concealed Speaker System
Check out JVC's Sound Garden concept: it's come leaping forth like a delighted lamb from the creative spring that is Tokyo's Design Week, and just like a newborn lamb finding its legs, it sure looks funny. An attempt at blending eco-friendliness with interesting design, it's a full hi-fi speaker system with bass-reflex ports and the whole deal, alongside little pot-like areas to insert plants. And it's all made of "eco-plastic," designed so you can connect together several of the elements to make a whole hive-like sculpture of audio and greenery. Did I point out it's weirdness? Oh I did. Thank goodness it's just a concept. [AVWatch] -

Japanese Pekoppa Plant Listens To Your Problems Because Nobody Else Wants To
Sega Toys knows what Japanese people want: something to complain to that couldn't possibly think badly of you. It's called Pekoppa, and it's got a chip inside that will bend, stretch, and lean the plant according to how you speak to it. According to Sega it's "a good listener," will have 200,000 units floating around Japan come September. Do they have dogs in Japan, or have all the North Koreans abducted them all?
