Lunarpunk is a subgenre of solarpunk with a darker aesthetic. It portrays the nightlife, spirituality, and more introspective side of solarpunk utopias. It can be defined as "Witchy Solarpunk." Aesthetically, lunarpunk usually is presented with pinks, purples, blues, black, and silver with an almost omnipresence of bioluminescent plants and especially mushrooms

These glowing plants are bioluminescent petunias, bioengineered by scientists at Light Bio. You can now not only buy the Firefly Petunias on the Light Bio website, but they are also available to purchase in store at more than 200 US retailers. This comes after online sales proved the popularity of these remarkable plants since their release last year.

Inside seems like a good idea in that heat. I wasn't getting the most direct sunlight inside, 6 hours is recommended, so I was leaving it outside in the direct sun and I think that may have been too much as it would be in full bloom one day and then the flowers would droop not much later.

I finally got a few pre-ordered for this fall! Going to grow and cultivate them inside for the next year!

That's great! I still don't have one for this year but that sounds like a good way to go to get a few and plan for the year ahead. I'm glad your plants will have friends to flourish with.
