Notes

To make the plantlight actually control a light, set it to target a light entity. The reason you would want to do this is so that in a dark area, if the player approaches the plant, the lights go out. Set the xen_plantlight Target to the Name of the light.

You can give the plant a little halo by setting Render Color (255 255 255)and Render Amount (try 200).

The Plantlight will not emit light, but these settings make it look as though it does.
