Researchers Create Vibrant, Luminescent Succulents

Researchers at South China Agricultural University have successfully bioengineered succulents to glow in vibrant colors by injecting them with phosphor particles and exposing them to light. The innovative technique involves infusing Echeveria “Mebina” succulents with micron-sized phosphor particles, enabling them to emit bright hues of green, blue, red, and blue-violet for up to two hours after a brief exposure to sunlight or LED light. This approach, which lasts longer than previous genetic engineering attempts, allows the glowing effect to be “recharged” daily at a low cost of approximately $1.40 per plant. While the researchers envision practical applications for decorative lighting, experts caution about potential effects on plant health and safety. Future studies will focus on the long-term viability of these luminescent plants and their suitability for broader use.
