Bioluminescent plants often do occur in nature but it may not be the ideal choice for at-home planting. The Firefly Petunia changes the route of that notion as it is a new and regulation-approved breed of a garden flower that [glows when in dark environments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glow-in-the-dark-water-bottle). This is made possible by first mixing the genes of a [glowing mushroom](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinno) with a plant. Additionally, this is a special new breed because it does not need any extra care or steps to ensure that it goes through a healthy growing process. It only needs sunlight throughout the day and it will light up at night.
