Apparatus and associated methods relate to a lighted planter formed from an emitter of light, a light source optically coupled with the emitter of light, an electrical power source electrically connected to the light source, and, an urn adapted to retain the emitter of light. In an illustrative example, the emitter of light may be an optic fiber bundle. The light source may be, for example, an LED (Light Emitting Diode) optically coupled with the optic fiber bundle. Various embodiments may provide programmable light sequences from a multi-colored light source configured by a wireless remote control. In some examples, the electrical power source may be a battery. Some embodiments may provide a photovoltaic cell adapted to charge the battery. Various examples may advantageously provide environmentally friendly decorative plant receptacles with adaptable configurations at reduced cost, for example, using solar power to illuminate custom-configured plant arrangements with user-programmable light sequences.
