Flowers

Flowers are planted and "grown" from flower bulbs in a very simple, fast procedure:

  • Plant and precisely place a bulb, which will appear as a jug
  • Water it with 100 jugs of water
  • Come back in an hour and your flower will have bloomed

It is the making of the bulbs that is a long, drawn out, repetitive undertaking:

  • Fertilize a flower.
  • After a given number of fertilizations, the option "Check the bulb for signs of budding" appears
  • The flower will tell you "There are signs of budding, but the bulb is not yet ready to split" through several more fertilizations
  • Eventually, though, the flower will split, putting a bulb in your inventory and leaving the flower you have just spent half your lifetime fertilising intact.

Fertilizer

However, if you fertilize with Basic Fertilizer, you'll be fertilizing approximately forever: you will need to do 48 fertilizations at a maximum rate of one every two hours. You will also never sleep.

==Enriched Fertilizers==

Luckily, we can take the Basic Fertilizer and enrich it. There are a variety of enriched fertilisers available, but all except two use very expensive additives for enrichment. Therefore, the standard procedure is to use all of your Basic Fertilizer to make two kinds of enriched fertilisers, and exclusively use the enriched fertilizer to get your new bulbs to be born twice as fast:

  • Sticky Sun Fertilizer: 24 fertilizations, a maximum of one every two hours.
  • Harvest Elixer Fertilizer: 24 fertilizations, a maximum of one every eight hours.


Basic Procedure

Gather a ton of rotten fish, some Camel's Mane Mushrooms, and some cobra skins.

  • Mix

Optimum Fertilising Schedule

The optimum fertilizing schedule is to use Sticky Sun every 2 hours during the day, and Harvest Elixer for the 8 hours you'll be gone overnight.

Flowers for Formal Gardens

The Test of the Formal Garden requires a minimum of 7 flowers. One of these must be a flower you have cross-bred. (This sounds terrifying but is in fact the easiest part of this entire endeavor.) You will therefore require 8 flowers: 6 flowers you plan to keep, plus 2 flowers you plan to cross breed and destroy in the process of creating your 7th, cross-bred flower.

Cross-Breeding Your Flower

  • Put two different bulbs of the same type in your inventory (for example, a Vampire Lily and a
  • Find a greenhouse you can use. A public greenhouse works fine.
  • If you can, click the greenhouse and under Utilities, name the greenhouse.
  • The name of the greenhouse is what your flower will be called, so something like Eimear 1 will at least be clear.
  • Click the greenhouse and choose Crossbreeding.
  • Choose Set the right splint type and shove in a flower from your inventory.
  • Choose Set the left splint type and shove in the other flower from your inventory.
  • Come back in an hour and remove your new flower.
