ABSTRACT:
A plant starter apparatus for allowing a plant seedling to receive light from a multiplicity of directions. A parabolic reflector is positioned such that light striking the parabolic reflector is reflected towards a focal point. A plant container containing both soil and plant seed is positioned such that, upon germination, the plant seedling receives both incident light and the light reflected from the parabolic reflector. As the plant seedling grows, the seedling receives ever-increasing amounts of light reflected from the parabolic reflector. Because the plant seedling receives light from the multiplicity of directions, growth of the plant seedling is maximized as the plant grows vertically.
