Lumenorth Sprout Hanging Planter Light

Sprout is a pendant light with a planter built into it. The bulb sits below, the pot sits above, and a trailing plant grows down around the cord, so the fixture changes shape over the months rather than staying exactly as it was delivered. It is one of the few light fittings that is genuinely different a year after it goes up. That slow change is the reason to buy one.

Succulents and air plants need almost nothing from you and sit neatly in the bowl, which makes them the safe choice for a hallway or an office where nobody is going to remember to water anything. Trailing species such as string of pearls or pothos are the more dramatic option: they grow down past the light and turn a single pendant into a small hanging garden over a table. Three finishes are available, with white keeping the form quiet and letting the planting do the talking.

Use a light, free-draining compost and water sparingly, since the bowl sits above a live fitting. Hang it somewhere the plant will get daylight as well as lamplight, over a kitchen table, a desk or a stairwell landing where there is a window nearby.
