Petalglow: Let there be light
to comfort, to companion, to inspire
A Trailer of Petalglow
The Problem
Anxiety, intensified by societal pressures like neijuan, leads to restless nights. The resulting lack of rest amplifies anxiety, creating a vicious cycle. Traditional night lights disrupt melatonin production, worsening anxiety at midnight.
Our Solution
We developed a bioluminescent plant companion, Petalglow, with 150% increased light intensity compared to previous fungal bioluminescence pathways (FBP) in transgenic tobacco plants.
Daytime Solution
At daytime, Petalglow promotes relaxation through horticultural therapy. Daily tasks like watering the plant alleviate anxiety and stress, and enhance mood.
Night Solution
At night, Petalglow emits soft, calming bioluminescent light, creating an ideal pre-sleep environment without disrupting sleep-inducing darkness.
Team
Our team consists of members from diverse locations such as Toronto, Guangzhou, and Beijing, who gathered in Shenzhen to realize the dream of glowing plants.
