There can be strong emotional connections between plant growers and the plant during the growth cycle. From the moment the seed is planted, to the time when the plant dies, it is monitored by the grower. This monitoring is often subconsciously scheduled into the user’s daily routine.
By re-fusing the alarm into the plant’s living environment, this product creates an experience which links the daily growth and advancement of the user’s life, with continuous growth of the plant. Light sources are activated as the user’s alarm activates, and turns off manually when the user goes to bed. When the user is awake going about his/her day, “growing”, so is the plant.
The product also helps to promote the indoor growth of plants regardless of the availability of natural sunlight. Studies show exposure to LEDs encourage photosynthesis. LEDs provide a sensible solution to energy efficient artificial lighting.
An alarm clock thats makes a green thumb out of all of us. Win-win in my book.

和植物同步成长
植物保姆和在生长周期中的植物一定有着很深厚的感情。它监控着植物的一生，从种子进入泥土，到它枯萎的那一刻。现在，这种监控潜意识地也成为用户每天必做的一件事。
这个产品可以设定植物生存环境，把主人的成长和发展与植物的持续生长联系起来。用户设置闹钟，而光源同时被开启；在用户睡觉的时候可以手动关闭。当用户醒来开始生活工作时，植物也同时醒来。
这个产品同样可以帮助室内生长的植物有规律地享受到自然阳光。研究表明，发光的二极管促进光合作用。二极管解决了人工光线创造能源的问题。
