created by modern sprout, the uplift planter is an elevated plant stand and app-enabled grow light designed to seamlessly integrate living green into any space. ‘plants have become the new critical home essential,’ comment the creators. ‘with each one you bring into your house, you further perforate the barrier between indoor and out, between nature and nurture.’

usually, most grow lights are harsh to the eyes as they emit light in a spectrum that has been optimized for plants and not for people. contrary to this, the uplift planter features a grow light that contains the color spectrum needed to support healthy plant growth while emitting natural light that compliments your home’s decor without disrupting it. ‘a plant’s proximity to a grow light is critical for success which is why we’ve made ours adjustable so you can grow plants ranging from small seedlings to large botanicals,’ modern sprout continues. ‘the adjustable light arm is removable too, so you can “stake” it into other plants that might need an extra boost.’

the uplift planter comes equipped with a built-in brain, meaning that you can pair it with an app over WiFi to control the light parameters, cycles and schedule. the app will also give you recommendations and presets for partial shade, partial sun and full sun plants.’the uplift planter is designed for seamless integration within the home,’ the team concludes. ‘keep it in the kitchen for quick access to fresh herbs, in the living room for some easy ambience, or by the bed for a (green) reading nook that brings life and light to the darkest corners. the purposeful design brings the healing power of plants into every room.’
