Abstract: The present invention has a base, a plurality of posts, a plurality of light rings, a top, a wiring sub-system, and a plurality of artificial lights (preferably LEDs). The base is generally circular in shape and can accommodate a number of different plant pot sizes as plants grow. The plurality of posts is removably attached to the base near its outer perimeter. The posts are designed to hold and support the plurality of light rings. The light rings surround the plant and support the artificial lights. The artificial lights can be LEDs which are placed across the inner surface of the light rings facing inwards towards the center where the plant is located. The top of the system is shaped to attach to the plurality of posts. The top can also accept and hold a second base thereon so that the entire system is stackable.
