Setting up plant pots
Before the botanist can start to grow plants it is necessary to set up the plant pots.
There are 6 empty spots where a pot can be placed, allowing for up to 6 plants to be grown at the same time.
To place a plant pot simply click on the button "Set up a pot", that's it.
Note:
- You have to have the plant pots in the property inventory to be able to place them.
Planting
After having set up the plant pot it is possible to select which crop should be planted.
The botanist can grow:
Each plant in the drop-down menu is listed with its required growing time. Choose the plant you want to grow and then confirm the choice with "Plant".
Once planted 2 timers will appear:
- upper one is a countdown until the plant can be harvested
- lower one is a countdown until the plant can be watered
Note:
- Growing spices require reading the How-To Guide: Aromatic sprouts (botanist) to unlock.
- To sow spices it is necessary to have 1 unit of the desired spice in the property inventory.
- To sow flowers and trees no seeds are necessary.
- Learning the skill "Nursery Owner" reduces the growing time of trees up to 30%.
- Learning the skill "Flower Grower" reduces the growing time of flowers up to 30%.
Watering
It is necessary to water the growing crops regularly, click the button "Water".
Each plant pot shows a timer when next watering can be done:
- trees every 24 hours.
- flowers every 6 hours.
- bushes every 8 hours.
- spices every 8 hours.
Note:
- If not watered regularly plants may wilt.
Harvest
The plants can be harvested at the end of the growing time - simply click on the button "Harvest".
Note:
- Harvesting removes 1 durability from the plant pot. After using all 5 durability points the plant pot breaks.
- The skill "Plant Pot Mastery" gives a 15% chance of preserving the durability of the plant pot when harvesting.
Emptying / Storing a plant pot
An empty pot like after harvesting a plant pot can be put back to the property inventory without a problem, simply click on the button "Store the pot".
It is also possible to empty a plant pot that is growing a plant - but be aware this cannot be reversed, the plant is thrown away and the plant pot loses 1 durability point.
Note:
- In case of destroying the workshop any plant pot still set up in the nursery (empty or with a plant growing) is destroyed as well. Be sure, to store all plant pots in your property inventory if you don't want to lose them.
- It is recommended to use plant pots with only 1/5 durability points left to produce pots of hollyhocks or herbalist stands.
