I bought a glowing plant. It led me down a rabbit hole of radiant mushrooms, 19th century experiments and a modern rivalry between scientists in Russia and the Americas.

    My mom and I have one of them (we each have one). They’re pretty cool, just difficult to take care of in Texas (they require specific temperature ranges, fertilizer, light levels, etc).

      See my tips above. Hope that helps, but it’s generic advice, never had one of these. Wish I could get with you in a year and see how it’s going. Been thinking on buying one of these.

      That’s interesting. I’m in the northeast near Boston and the results have been inconsistent leaving it outside although I’ve given it good soil, fertilizer and direct sunlight. It’s not doing great right now but doing its best to hang in there.
