Cultivation Soil Menu... Launch a Plantation!
The menu displays, next to the name of the Cultivation Soil ,its unique ID that allows you to identify it on your profile page.
⇨ If no planting has been started yet and you have seeds, you will have access to a [Plant] button that will allow you to start a planting. After clicking on the [Plant] button will display the seed or seeds you own and you will then have to choose which seed you want to plant. If you have all the prerequisites to start growing then a confirmation window will appear and planting will start after cliquing [Yes]. Otherwise, you will be told what you are missing.
⇨ If a planting is in progress, the menu will display information about the current cultivation. The name of the flowers planted, the current growing step and the product you will harvest at the end. You will also have access to several options:
❏ [Reset] - This button resets the Cultivation Soil. Be careful when performing a Reset, you will lose the current crop and none of the products used for planting will be returned (water, Potting Soil, seed, Fertilizer...).
❏ [Reposition] - If you have moved your Cultivation Soil, this button will allow you to reposition the current plant. Attention! Does not work with a Rez/ Derez move, if a Cultivation Soil is taken in the inventory, the current crop is lost!
❏ [Fertilize] - This option is available only from Stage 2 and allows you to launch a Boost on your plantation by fertilizing the current plant. You will have the choice to reduce the time of the current Stage by 25, 50 or 75%. The amount of fertilizer needed for each reduction time will be indicated. Each Stage can only be boosted once!
❗ Please be aware that picking up a Cultivation Soil currently in the process of cultivation from your inventory will result in the loss of the ongoing cultivation progress. This action acts as a complete reset, removing all progress and resources associated with the current cultivation. The plant that will remain after taking back the Cultivation Soil in your inventory will continue its progress but cannot be harvested and will be deleted at the final stage since the Cultivation Soil will no longer be Linker with it.
Harvesting your Nectars!
At the end of the growing period, 6, 12 or 18 days in total depending on the type of flowers, you can harvest and butterflies will roam near your flowers! Just click on the plant and you will collect your 100 Nectars, some Xp per Harvest (2Xp for Tranquil Nectar, 3Xp for Fleeting Nectar, 4Xp for Swift Nectar and 5Xp for Flash Nectar) and if you are lucky, you may even receive a seed bonus!
