The Glo Gro wants to make growing a garden indoors a breeze

By Lulu Chang Published November 20, 2017

This conversation piece of a lamp isn’t just a looker — it’s a doer, too. Meet the Glo Gro, a decorative LED Étagère floor lamp that’s as useful as it is aesthetically pleasing. Promising to make gardening easier than ever, this is one way to ensure that you still have fresh flowers, plants, and herbs available in the dead of winter.

Promising to give plant enthusiasts the ability to nurture plants indoors, regardless of time, season, or location, the Glo Gro utilizes a powerful integrated 45W LED grow light, effectively recreating photosynthesis. Rather than leaving your plants to the whims of the sun and the weather, you can give them the consistency of this lamp.

While most gardeners have to keep a careful eye on their plants, covering them when winds pick up or the cold comes along, or watering them incessantly when the rain won’t fall, the Glo Gro promises to turn even the blackest of thumbs decidedly green.

According to the Glo Gro team, this unique system emits a special mix of red and blue wavelengths, which is said to optimize a plant’s growth across its many stages of development. And because your seedlings live in a hanging planter, you can adjust your various flowers, vegetables, and herbs as needed, ensuring that the right plants have the right amount of light.

Even if you’re not using the Glo Gro to grow plants, the lamp provides ambient light that can dress up just about any room, and its rather unique design will certainly catch guests’ attention. “From amateur gardeners to horticulturist pros, this is the perfect tool to help grow a variety of greenery,” a Glo Gro spokesperson noted.

Included in the Glo Gro package is a three-way rotary switch for ambient light, the integrated 45W LED grow light, an integrated timer, and a decorative planter with a chain and drainage tray. So if you’ve big plans for growing a garden in your home this winter, this may just be the lamp you’ve been looking for. You can buy a Glo Gro now for the price of $299 from the company website, as well as from Amazon, Wayfair, Bellacor, and Hayneedle.

Find the connected fitness equipment that's worth your money.

The average workout doesn't begin with your first rep anymore. It begins with the data you've already collected. Smartwatches track your sleep and heart rate, smart rings measure recovery, and some fitness enthusiasts even use continuous glucose monitors to better understand how their bodies respond to training and nutrition. Smart home gym equipment builds on that foundation, combining connected hardware with AI-powered coaching, adaptive resistance, and long-term progress tracking to turn health insights into smarter workouts.

Smart fitness has also grown well beyond streaming workout classes. The latest machines can automatically adjust resistance as you get stronger, analyze your performance over time, and sync with the health devices you already use. Some even use AI to recommend workouts based on your goals and training history, making every session feel more personalized. If you're still deciding whether investing in connected fitness makes sense for your lifestyle, check out our guide on whether a smart home gym is worth it.

Tineco Pure ONE Station 5 Pro review: A reliable kit that’s low on maintenace, high on conveniences

An easy recommendation for anyone who wants a cordless vacuum that is genuinely easy to live with.

With two young children and two dogs, my floors put vacuums through a real-world stress test every day. Between constant crumbs, pet hair, tracked-in dirt, and everything in between, there’s always something waiting to be cleaned. The Tineco Pure ONE Station 5 Pro solved those those pain points for me pretty well. It can run for over an hour and a half on a single charge, while its base station dustbin capacity outpaces many standard upright vacuums that I've tested over the years.

My smart home experiment has reached its natural limit

Smart-home technology keeps improving, but being easier to automate doesn’t make everything worth automating

Computer, Electronics, Laptop, Smart Home

The first device I added to my smart home was a light bulb. It seemed like the safest possible place to start. I could turn it on from anywhere, put it on a schedule, and eventually work it into routines with everything else.

Then I tapped the button in the app and waited. The delay was only about half a second, but half a second is surprisingly noticeable when the alternative is a wall switch that responds immediately and has never once asked for a firmware update. Using my phone was worse. I had to unlock it, find the app, open the right room, and tap the light I could have switched on several steps earlier.
