Now here's something for plant-loving city dwellers. My Plant, a plant-rearing stand, is aimed at those who want to grow plants indoors but are finding it difficult to do so due to the lack of sunlight. My Plant comes with two lamps, each made up of 10 red and two blue . By placing the lamps at a certain distance (10cm to 40cm) to the plants, the blue and red lights are effectively absorbed by the plant to promote photosynthesis.
