Phototron 9
Here's a 21" x 51" indoor greenhouse, with lighting panels to mimic the sun so you can actually propagate outdoor plants in your home or office. Picture real live roses growing in the living room. The Phototron 9, shown here, comes with bulbs, soil medium, plant nutrient, germination bulb, reflective hood shield, and "complete instructions" for $555.95 (why not just say $556, for heavens sake?). It is made by a company called Pyraponic Industries–"still the original, still the best"–so their motto goes. This product might be a nice gift for a gardener who can no longer spend time outdoors and misses seeing favorite plants close up.
