In-Game Text "All that is very well.' answered Candide, but let us cultivate our garden." -Voltaire, Candide What a more humble joy to the well-off pilgrim than a well-kept garden to soothe the mind and relax the muscles. Gardening allows you to plant wild plants acquired through foraging in Gardening pots. The pots need to be prepared with humus and water before anything can be planted in them. How to Plant in a Gardening Pot Select 1x Humus from your inventory and left-click it onto your Gardening Pot. Select a Vessel with at least 1 liter of Potable Water and again, left it onto your Gardening Pot. Select the Potable item you wish to plant and left-click it onto your Gardening Pot. While the default Yield for non-bushes and trees is two, your Yield may increase due to a combination of chance, your Herbs & Sprouts proficiency, and whether or not you had the Store bought Garden Shovel equipped when planting. You will see your Yield pop up in green as you add your Potable Plant, however, the bonus from the Garden Shovel will not be factored in. At any point you may check the current Yield by right-clicking on your planted Gardening Pot. NOTE: Planting in Gardening Pots lowers Insanity. Wait 3 days. Learning the skills Horticulture and Green Thumb as well as using the Store bought Gardener's Pot will reduce the time for plants to ripen. Once ripe, the plant's model will change. For Bushes and Trees there is a chance for the planting to fail, in this case you will instead receive a single Branch. The higher your Flora & Fauna proficiency, the less likely that this will happen. Ripe plants can now be picked by right-clicking the Gardening Pot and selecting "Pick". Bushes and Trees which have sprouted can be planted by Lifting the Gardening Pot and then right-clicking the ground and selecting "Plant". When Picking ripe Vegetables, you may occasionally find that a Virginia Snail or Caterpillar has eaten one of your Vegetables and taken its Purity. Stages of a Garden Pot Empty Pot. Pot after you have added Humus to it. Pot after being watered (requires 1.0 liter of Potable Water). Pot planted with Peppers. Gardening Purity Three factors influence Gardening Purity. The Purity of the Humus, the Purity of the Plant, and the Purity of the Gardening Pot. The Harvested Plant will be the average Purity of these three factors weighted towards the Humus. The formula is: Resulting Plant = ((Humus*2)+Pot+Initial Plant)/4. Any time the Resulting Plant's Purity is higher than the Gardening Pot's, the Gardening Pot's Purity will permanently increase by up to 2.56%. You may check your Gardening Pot's Purity by right-clicking it.
