I had a room without much light and wanted to put some plants in there too, so I designed an adapter for my wall planters. It has a drip tray to catch water and a mount for an LED grow light!

That’s really cool! Might have to do something similar for some of my plants lol.

They're definitely a lot happier with the additional light (the room wasn't this dark, I closed the curtains for effect lol). I just got these off of Amazon but there's a million of them on there and AliExpress.

I'm going to have to design bigger wall planters now so that I can have bigger plants in dark spaces!

I’ll definitely have to take a look. I’m moving at the end of the month to a house that doesn’t have great spots for succulents, so I think it’d be nice to have some of the smaller ones up on the walls with grow lights. I’m thinking about also setting up a proper grow light station for whichever plants need it.

Can you please upload the .stl? :) These are cool!

[–] GullibleOyster 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll try to remember when I get home, thanks! I'm not sure if the pots themselves are still sold but if anything I'll upload my re-creation of it to print.

The print is all I need. I've got lots of things to repurpose. It's greatly appreciated, thank you.
