A long and dark brown plant. It has branches coming off the top and bottom of its trunk. Usually found floating in water, though occasionally will be found on the banks of moats instead. The texture of its bark is largely smooth with ridges and occasional knobs. Beware of leaves that sprout from the branches as they are sharp. It appears to prefer areas with much sun though can be spotted in the shade from time to time. Its buoyant nature makes it a decent choice for a boat. Avoids stone walls.
Light
High light.
Water
Semi-aquatic
Hardiness
Very hardy. Sturdy as well.
Other
Seems to be related to venus fly trap due to its penchant for snapping up at being touched. Further research required.
A vivid plant with surprisingly mobile leaves. Malodorus goopus is constantly secreting some sort of ooze and has a smell about it best described as ‘meaty’ and ‘wet’.
Light
A room with plenty of shade and places to hide is preferred. Absolutely no direct sunlight.
Water
Likes to be sopping wet.
Hardiness
Terrifyingly hard to kill.
Other
If it focuses both ‘eyes’ on you, it considers you a threat.
This plant is extremely rare, to the point most consider it to be nothing more than a fairy tale. It appears in legends and stories under many names, and is said to emerge in times of peril, saving entire ecosystems from impeding doom. It sprouts in endangered zones, nurturing dead soil and weakening invasive species. Once balance is restored and other plants can thrive again, it disappears with not a single seed left behind.
Often mistaken for a common weed, the creeping craggleflower prefers to grow under the dense cover of rocks and debris. A healthy and happy specimen will begin poking numerous tendrils of foliage from beneath its shelter, and will occassionally bloom handfuls of brightly colored flowers that hug closely to the soil. Though its foliage is somewhat delicate and difficult to grow, it produces dense roots which anchor it tightly into the soil.
Light
Low light with occassional full-sun soaks
Water
Water moderately, waiting for the soil to dry out between. Prefers moderate humidity.
Hardiness
Surface foliage is very delicate, and will often die back without provocation. However, its extensive root system is quite robust, and capable of surviving long periods of dormancy between sproutings.
Other
This plant does not handle transplanting well, and will often die back significantly during attempts. It can recover from such trauma, with enough care, but has been known to cease blooming entirely once initially uprooted.
Its roots quickly reach to the confines of whatever container it is planted into, and can fool an unfamiliar caretaker into thinking its rootbound - only for the plant to die once repotted into a larger container. Seems to prefer rooting into snug spaces.
In the wild, it is typically found tucked between rock crags and underneath other steadfast debris.
Its foliage has a fairly narrow range of tolerance when it comes to temperatures—anything below 60F or above 75F will cause it to wilt back. Sustained higher temperatures have been known to damage the root system, as well, while they seem to simply remain dormant when exposed to coler temps.
It is technically edible, but tastes unpleasantly bitter. Boiling extensively can bleed the bitterness from it, and leaves one with a mop of boba-esque spaghetti. Soft, gelatinous, bland, and devoid of any usable nutrients.
A delicate orchid that naturally grows in quiet, little-seen spaces where it is unlikely to be disturbed. Grows a single flowering stem and produces small cream and white flowers, and will flower year-round if maintained in ideal conditions. However, frequently fails to flower at all if not carefully nurtured, and is a challenging plant to keep healthy.
Light
Indirect light P.tremens fares best when kept in a space that receives soft, indirect light throughout the day, with periods of shade to allow it to rest its leaves. It quickly withers when exposed to harsh sunlight, or long periods of direct light.
Water
Infrequent watering; regular misting Substrate should be kept mostly dry, and moistened with a small quantity of water every couple of weeks. Leaves should be lightly misted regularly; preferably daily to maintain condition.
Hardiness
Low P.tremens does not tolerate shocks of any kind, and rapidly wilts when kept out of its ideal conditions. Should be handled delicately, and treated with utmost care.
Other
Prefers to grow in moss, but can tolerate loose, well-aeriated soil.
Should be handled with care at all times, and always by the base of the plant. Care should be taken to avoid contact with the flowering stem, and leaves bruise easily if managed incorrectly.
Ideally, P.tremens seeds should be planted directly into its final pot, which should be sized to accommodate the full-grown plant. Transplanting should be avoided as the shock is liable to kill the plant.
A willow tree known for its thick branches, wide spread, and hardiness. Specimens have blue-black bark and grow the classic ‘weeping willow’ leaf trails, with leaves being dark on their undersides and a paler blue on their tops. Produces delicate gold flowers throughout spring, and, when grown wild, is always found with a variety of smaller—and often rarer—plants growing beneath its spread. S.custos has is a favourite resting place for all manner of fauna, a popular choice for bonsai, and (bafflingly) always manages to attract ‘companions’ even when grown indoors or under controlled conditions.
Light
Moderate S.custos does best when grown in strong direct sunlight, and produces more vibrant leaves and flowers with increased light exposure. However, specimens also fare well in weak or indirect light, and can cope when positioned in full or partial shade. Plants grown in low light will tend to develop short branches and dull blue-black leaves, losing both their impressive spread and their striking pale blue tops, and producing only a handful of pale flowers each season.
Water
Low Specimens can last for long periods with little to no water, and will bounce back even after prolonged drought. Conversely, it is also capable of withstanding substantial overwatering, and will tolerate extended waterlogging. In natural conditions, the plant appears to adapt its water consumption according to the needs of the plants growing beneath its spread, with reports indicating that it absorbs little water during droughts, and substantially more during periods of flood, vastly increasing the survival rates of nearby flora. However, observations of cultivated S.custos indicate that the plant prefers to be watered once every one to two weeks, allowing its soil to partially dry between waterings.
Hardiness
Extreme S.custos is extraordinary difficult to kill, and will tolerate most conditions it is exposed to. It is capable of withstanding hostile conditions for extended periods of time, and will almost always recover—often rapidly—once conditions improve. However, poor care typically leads to specimens producing few to no flowers and growing increasingly drab as they re-route their energies towards survival, and young plants will fail to grow the wide spreads the tree is known for. Under especially harsh conditions, older S.custos have been observed to droop until their branches almost brush their ‘companion’ flora, seemingly bowing beneath the weight of their guardianship.
Other
S.custos is considered sacred by many cultures, and heavily protected in such reagions.
The plant is associated with protection, fortitude, and sacrifice, and is commonly kept in bonsai form by people seeking a ‘boost’ in their day-to-day lives.
S.custos is named for its apparent guardianship of other species, and is almost never seen without other plants growing beneath its spread. When cultivated, it is difficult to keep it isolated within its pot or bed, for other seedlings will inevitably (and inexplicably) find their way in beneath any semi-matured plant. Fauna is also irresistibly drawn to it, with larger animals commonly observed beneath wild specimens, and cultivated specimens harbouring crops of butterflies, bees, beetles, and other such insects. Fauna and flora found around specimens are known collectively as ‘companions’ for this reason.
S.custos can be grown in isolation if managed harshly, using strong pesticides, but appear to fare poorly when denied ‘companions’. Complete isolation is extraordinarily difficult to achieve and has corresponded with death of the plant in most instances.
Technically a rose but very little or no stem, growing straight from the ground like a cabbage. Its featherlike leaves radiate from directly beneath the flower, creating an easily held cluster that can be plucked in its entirety. It is as if nature itself had arranged a perfect corsage.
Light
Thrives in direct sunlight. At nightfall its leaves curl inwards. If its leaves seem permanently curled, get it into better light.
Water
The short underground stem and root system survive while dry, but the leaves and flower should be misted daily to keep them vibrant.
Hardiness
Simultaneously quite hardy, yet very fickle. The root system survives through nearly any weather, but the leaves and flower are greatly affected by conditions. This plant seems almost moody, using its petals and leaves to express its level of satisfaction.
Other
Thrives in the presence of other plants, especially flowers. However, it will wilt in the presence of mushrooms. Curiously, no known species of mushroom is known to grow on R. roseicollis.
A delicate little stem with leaves that grow upwards and blossoms that grow downwards. Visually stunning, with colors so bright they almost glow. Its radiant appearance attracts insects so effectively that these plants are rarely seen without creepy-crawlers on every leaf.
Light
Best suited to indirect sunlight. C. lepidopterii has a very slight bioluminescence that suggests it has adapted well to cave life.
Water
Prefers a humid environment and damp soil.
Hardiness
This plant seems vulnerable to the elements, yet grows fast. The constant presence of pollenating insects suggests that C. lepidoopterii attempts to flower year-round, quickly sprouting then withering away only for its seeds to then sprout anew.
The root system can regrow new stems over a broad area as long as the soil is kept damp and fresh.
Other
If you manage, somehow, to keep a Belf Flower in an insect-free environment, its color will dull. The joke amongst botanists is that the Belf gets ‘lonely’ with no bugs in its presence. Some call this plant the ‘social butterfly’ flower.
A medium-sized brightly colored plant which is fairly common. It flowers in early spring up to late summer. The flowers are tiny, white and blue, and grow in clusters. It’s popular as an ornamental plant as it is relatively easy to take care of, both indoors and outdoors.
Light
It grows best in moonlight or shade most of the year, but is fine with indirect sunlight. In winter though, it grows best with lots of light (artificial or natural).
Water
Requires watering once or twice a day to thrive, and tolerates some overwatering. It starts to wilt if it’s dry for 2 days or more.
Hardiness
Quite hardy; can tolerate very hot temperatures, but not cold temperatures.
Other
It glows brightly in the dark when in good health. Loud sounds make its leaves close for a bit.
A beautiful, flowering annual which blooms from early in the spring until the first frost. It has tiny, delicate flowers - a translucent white, like frosted glass. Glass-in-the-pale is said to bloom at places of heartfelt grief - graves and memorials - and for this reason is sometimes known as widow’s tears. It is difficult to cultivate; seeds often fail to germinate, and seedlings are extremely susceptible to soil conditions, though in its wild habitat it grows in abundance.
Light
Thrives in indirect sun, but can survive in a variety of lighting conditions. Chronic lack of sunlight may cause individual plants to enter a dormant state. Excessive sunlight may cause burns to plants’ delicate foliage.
Water
Requires little water; tolerant of even severe drought conditions. Difficult to overwater.
Hardiness
Can endure a wide range of temperatures, though will not flower in extremely cold temperatures.
Other
Its flowers make a lovely tea, which is said to aid memory and cognition. In many parts of its native range, it’s traditional to consume this tea at funerals and wakes.
A perennial plant that’s often mistaken to be dead due to the unusual brown coloring of its stem and leaves. In the winter, it blooms pale flowers with soft white petals resembling the shape of feathers. As the weather grows colder, the center of the flower deepens in color until it achieves the vibrant red from which it derives its name. Once this occurs, the flower will soon wither away. However, if conditions don’t grow cold enough for the change to take place, the flowers can last all through the winter season.
Light
Thrives best with lots of indirect light. Direct sunlight will result in rapid growth, but runs a high risk of the plant spontaneously going up in flames.
Water
Averse to moisture; the occasional sprinkle of tears will suffice.
Hardiness
Extremely resilient; whether its growth is stagnant due to low light or it burned up, with patience, it will eventually come back.
Other
One should take care not to breathe in the scent of its flowers; it’s known to cause fogginess of the mind, and in extreme cases, brief memory loss.
A vine plant found in many moist cavernous regions, it can survive in soil or water based mediums. It is commonly a pale blue color, though variants found in water are often seen having a paler look with white colored variegation. If given enough time to grow, the plant will often climb up to the ceiling of the cave it dwells in. The plant is known for storing water in its leaves and eventually the leafy ends of the vine become plump enough that they start to hang off from the ceiling to form a pale blue flora curtain.
Light
Due to living in a cavernous region, the plant can sustain itself with little light. It does not like exposure to direct sunlight
Water
Can survive in both soil and water, though do not be surprised by color variation depending on medium. If grown in soil, watering at least once a every few days will keep it happy. If grown in water, change out the water every two weeks to check the roots and prevent unwanted growth
Hardiness
As long as it is given some water and/or checked every few weeks for unwanted growth, this plant is able to survive in many sub optimal conditions and does surprisingly well in the cold. It is less tolerable of heat
Other
Due to being a plant that survives off a moist environment, the leaves can become surprising plump and if you break one off the vine and squeeze it, it is possible to squeeze enough water from the leaf to quickly wipe your hands. The quality of the water in the plant can be questionable though depending on the water source, so it is not recommended to attempt this
An ordinarly looking, flowering plant. Its white flowers are rounded and typically grow in two layers. In the day, Moon’s Light flowers are soft and white, seemingly ordinary plants but incredibly sturdy and difficult to damage. At night when the moon shines on them, the flowers take on a slight gold and silver glow. While difficult to damage the plant, if one manages to rip its petals, leaves, or stem, the edges of the rip are serrated and cause pain and irritation when touched.
Light
Moon’s Light requires minimal light to survive. It can subsist on only moonlight if necessary, though it blooms significantly faster and larger flowers when exposed to sunlight. It’s difficult to give it too much or too little light.
Water
While able to survive with minimal water, it won’t flower unless watered regularly. Short of submerging the entire plant, it’s difficult to give it too much water.
Hardiness
Extremely hardy. It’s very difficult to kill Moon’s Light, but it can survive lower temperature as opposed to hotter temperatures.
Other
Unless affected by environmental factors leading to ill health, Moon’s Light flowers do not wilt - instead, they simply fall off. They last approximately 5 days after they’ve fallen off, then the flowers disintegrate. While ripping or tearing parts of Moon’s Light can lead to injury, flowers that have fallen off the plant on their own have healing properties.
A dark colored plant with spiky looking leaves and dark blue flowers. Its flowers are rounded and typically grow in two layers. During the day, Sun’s Shadow flowers are open fully and its velvet-y petals are on full display. At night, the petals curl into themselves and their gold undersides are visible. Despite how soft the flower petals look, the dark insides are actually serrated and sharp to the touch while the gold undersides are harmless. If touched at night when the petals are curled into themselves, the petals flip open in response to stimuli and bare their serrated sides.
Light
Sun’s Shadow requires direct sunlight to survive, and does not bloom any flowers unless also exposed to moonlight. While it will survive without moonlight, all buds that it grows will wither and die before ever opening.
Water
It requires minimal water to survive, and can be considered a desert plant. Just a small bit of water every so often is enough to keep it alive. If over watered, Sun’s Shadow will go through a rapid, wild blooming phase and then become sickly and require careful care to return to health.
Hardiness
As long as it has some water occasionally, it’s very difficult to kill Sun’s Shadow. It can survive in both cold and heat, but it has an extreme tolerance for high temperatures as opposed to lower temperatures. Short of setting it on fire, it’s hard to overheat the plant.
Other
When moved to new locations or if its care routine is changed, Sun’s Shadow will not close its petals at night even if exposed to moonlight. This typically continues until the plant acclimates to the new environment or routine. Instead of wilting, the flowers simply fall off - when they do, they curl up but retain their ability to flip open in response to stimuli. They disintegrate after 5 days, but in the meantime you could use them as projectile weapons.

An uncommon variation of the living stones succulent. Unlike more traditional lithops, this particular plant seems both to delight in being contrary and to actively make life as difficult as possible for gardeners. It looks rather dull, but rumor has it that under the right circumstances, it produces a spectacular sea-green flower.
Light
Minimum six hours of direct sunlight, but no more than eight (or perhaps ten?). Will rot without adequate sun but may also develop blisters if left too long
Water
Minimal–just little enough for a gardener to forget to tend to it, upon which it immediately shrivels up for want of water
Hardiness
Alarmingly hardy. Able to survive for years in an inhospitable environment, yet incapable of thriving except within a very narrow range of conditions
Other
The living rockhead has a reputation among plant enthusiasts as being somewhat antagonistic. If it receives too much care, its leaves rot. Too little, and it slowly withers. It rarely provides any warning before it proceeds to deteriorate and tends to do so at the slightest provocation. Right as it’s about to be given up for dead, however, it likes to show a tiny sign of life, making it difficult to toss without at least some degree of guilt on the gardener’s part.
A rare, brambled vine that is more thorns than it is leaves and flowers, notorious for its poisonous properties which may result in death over a period as short as twelve hours. Unlike poisonous plants which warn off prey via their bright colours, the dim, greyish brambles with their black thorns offer little warning. The poison is transmitted via its thorns; early-stage symptoms include dizziness, fever and disorientation, eventually developing into hallucinations and finally coma shortly before death. Luckily, the plant itself also secretes an antidote for its poison. The white flowers that bloom along the vines will, when ingested, fully resolve the symptoms of the poison, taking effect immediately.
Light
It is able to survive for months without sunlight, but thrives in bright sun for up to eight hours a day.
Water
Moderate; optimal conditions are water once every two to three days, but it can easily survive more or less water.
Hardiness
Almost impossible to kill. The brambles are able to survive for months under harsh conditions, and will cannibalise parts of itself for nutrients if needed. As long as a single thorn remains, the plant can regrow itself from there.
Other
The brambles will typically grow to form an external ‘wall’ around itself, much like a fortress.
The perfect duplicate of the red scented roses. This plant not only looks but also smells like the real thing. With its fruity, fresh scent, it seduces all kinds of insects. As soon as one settles on one of the false flowers, it snaps shut. The petals themselves are coated with a thin, fine substance and, upon contact, paralyze its victim before it is pushed down into the flower stalk and digested there.
Light
Low likes to grow in dark and mild places with little sun, but in winter it contracts and buries itself deep in the ground
Water
Low needs little watering and can easily survive without water for several months
Hardiness
High can grow and survive on even the rockiest and barren soils, must be burned to eliminate
Other
> can obtain water from insects
> stores excess water deep in the roots for worse days
> has sharp thorns for protection
> toxic even to humans and animals
> never touch it without gloves, don’t smell it and it’s best to stay away!
This brilliant-coloured shrub produces dozens of blossoms year-round. Its flowers consist of large, distinct petals, all of which bear a distinctive pattern similar the eyespot patterning more commonly seen in animals, thus giving rise to its common name ‘thousand-eyed oleander’. Its flowers are most commonly shades of blue, teal or purple, but red and gold variants have been spotted as well. The flowers are well-known to be poisonous when ingested, but owing to myths surrounding the wish-granting properties of its flowers, poisoning cases still occur from time to time.
Light
Minimal. Despite its brilliant colours, this plant thrives even in complete darkness.
Water
Significant watering required. The plant requires damp soil and grows best in humid and damp environments, and can even grow in water, including saltwater. Despite many myths which suggest watering it with tears, tears alone are unlikely to provide the plant the amount of water it needs to grow well.
Hardiness
Hardy. A stubborn plant, it extends deep roots into the soil that make it notoriously difficult to uproot and move.
Other
A common myth goes that those who eat a thousand petals may have their wish granted. However, setting aside the fact that the petals are extremely bitter and unpalatable, the flowers themselves contain a slow-acting poison. Scientists theorise that the poison in the flowers is the reason behind the second part of the myth, which states that those who are not deemed worthy of having their wish granted will, instead, see the flower taking root in their lungs until they suffocate to death.
A brightly colored fern that was once quite common in various rain forests, the plant has all but died out. Conservation efforts have brought this plant back from the brink of extinction, but it is now very rare to find out in the wild. As tough as it is to take care of, it’s not recommended for beginner or intermediate gardeners, and it is in fact seen as quite an accomplishment when one has raise a cerulean fern to maturity.
Light
Bright indirect light required. Try to place your fern near a large window that gets lots of sunlight during the day.
Water
Needs a moderate amount of water, and does better with higher levels of air humidity. If you live in a dry climate, consider regular misting or an air humidifier.
Hardiness
Quite a delicate plant that needs lots of care and attention. Easily prone to both under and over watering, so make sure to test the soil often to ensure it’s not overly dry or wet.
Other
A healthy cerulean fern is a bold blue color, but if it falls ill, it can fade to a pale, grey-ish purple color. Although it is quite an interesting hue, it means your plant needs immediate attention, so take care of it quick!

Common Name: Rainbow Bromy Scientific Name: Polychrographic Bromeliaceae
Often described as the rainbow in the dark, and hardier than a cactus this plant will make you wish you were living in a desert.
Light
Direct and Outside, the brighter the corner the better.
Water
Loves humidity, but prefers a very dry soil.
Hardiness
As long as your cat doesn’t eat it, it’ll survive pretty much anywhere that light exists.
Other
When this plant is propagated it does not retain the rainbow coloring genes. The only way to get another rainbow plant is to grow it from a seed or wait for the plant to propagate itself.
The Rainbow Bromy glows in the dark by releasing the stored UV light from the day.
Yggrdrasil’s Roots is a plant that is often mistaken for a piece of weathered wood, being a single stalk that continuously grows without signs of sprouting a single branch or leaf. Instead, it photosynthesizes through dull green patches of a moss-like material that sprout sporadically all along its length. The texture of the stalk is similar to that of a tree, covered in a thin layer of bark that appears more grey than brown.
Light
Arbor Mundi is only capable of growing in shaded or low-light conditions. Too much exposure to the sun causes the moss-leaves to brown and die.
Water
The Yggdrasil’s natural habitat is a marsh with poor soil. There should always be sitting water in the pot with little to no drainage. This plant is almost impossible to overwater.
Hardiness
The Arbor Mundi only grows in very specific conditions; otherwise, it will either go into dormancy or die. It is near impossible to tell the difference between its dormant state and a dead plant, as both lead to the plant shedding its moss-leaves and the stalk becoming incredibly brittle. The only way to tell is by returning the plant to its ideal conditions and watching to see if it recovers over a matter of a few weeks. Because of its finicky and strange nature, Ygddrasil’s Roots is not considered a hardy plant recommended for beginners; although, there have been rare recorded instances of the plant being awoken from dormancy after decades of neglect.
Other
-The Arbor Mundi grows best in cold temperatures, usually 20 degrees fahrenheit or less.
-This plant grows best in poor soil, as that is the kind closest to its natural habitat. It is usually recommended to plant it in gravel with only a thin layer of soil at the bottom of the pot. Using normal potting soil can lead to staggered growth or even death of the plant in the most extreme circumstances.
-The wood of Yggdrasil’s Roots is known to be excellent for carving or creating instruments. It has a unique sound that is sought by instrumentalists cave-wide.
This delicate plant features beautifully trailing vines with warm yellow-green freckled leaves. Twice a year it will flower, budding small, elegant white blooms with a subtly sweet scent. While it is a fickle plant, it is beloved by native wildlife, and can frequently be seen being landed on by dragonflies, which gave it the name Dragonfly Vine. Local pollinators also spend a lot of time resting among the petals. Scientists are still looking into the calming effect it seems to have on insects.
Light
Part shade; can survive full sun for limited periods of time but will require extra water to compensate
Water
Keep soil moist at all times, allow drainage. Does best in humid environments.
Hardiness
Tender; between 35-45F. Low tolerance for drought, heat, or wind.
Other
Has been known to go dormant after flowering, will revive itself within a few weeks
Flowers can be harvested without damaging to plant and have been said to have medicinal properties ranging from a calming effect to working as a pain reliever
Flower petals have been described as having a sweet but watery flavor
Vines excrete a milky, golden liquid when broken
Roots do not penetrate deeply into the earth, and as such are easily blown away or dislodged by passing creatures
Cannot be propagated from cuttings, but seeds from the flowers can be dried and planted
A magical variant of common rhubarb (R. x hybridum), which itself is a hybrid of various Rheum variants. This particular specimen bears the wavy leaves of R. rhabarbarum but lacks its entire stalk and root structure, although once it did possess extensive root networks and stalkage.
Light
It requires direct sunlight only occasionally, and is able to photosynthesize wherever it goes.
Water
A great deal of water is required, but as it is able to get up and acquire said moisture itself, it never has to actually be watered.
Hardiness
Being a motile herbaceous perennial, it is quite hardy, able to withstand extensive changes to soil, temperature, and moisture that most other plants would find difficult to thrive in. Rapidly changing or inconsistent environments do not pose a problem for this species.
Other
As with all motile flora, it needs to be provided a plethora of containers and soil types. If it finds itself lacking in containers, it will happily acquire more itself, including making off with any unattended buildings or toilets.
Thin yellow-green vines that sport two types of near-identical protrusions—some are leaves and some are thorns—meaning the unwary hand may be startled by a sudden sharpness. Occasionally dotted with clusters of tiny white flowers. The vines seek to climb any vertical support in their vicinity, quickly reaching for the highest point available.
Light
Thrives best in full sunlight. Curiously, other types of light including artificial ones seem to be almost as beneficial to it, leading some who cultivate the plant to joke that all it really craves is the spotlight.
Water
Prefers to be watered three to four times a day, but is capable of surviving with as little as one watering a month.
Hardiness
In favourable environments, much more hardy than your average plant. In dark, cramped environments, it becomes listless, turning greyish, growing slowly, and shedding its flowers; yet it still stubbornly refuses to die without more extreme measures taken against it.
Other
Seems to respond well to compliments and encouragement. Also seems to respond well to insults, as though trying to prove its antagonizer wrong? Perhaps it merely enjoys being spoken to.
Grows well surrounded by other plants, but may, rarely, steal all the nutrients of another plant and take over its place.
This particular cultivar is much leafier and has more vibrant green foliage than most apple trees, and is not likely to fruit or flower without a candlelit dinner first. Chocolate might need to be involved, also. The tall, slender trunk and elegant branches are otherwise unremarkable, except for their exceptional flexibility and strength. The root system is likewise very mobile.
Light
Unlike other apple trees, it is not deciduous and requires direct sunlight year-round. Unless it’s feeling particularly moody, in which case shade or partial shade might be preferred. It will root itself wherever it pleases, so really, don’t worry too much about it.
Water
Occasional watering might be required, if the weather has been particularly dry. But other than rain, it doesn’t mind dipping its roots into the occasional moat.
Hardiness
This species is quite hardy, able to survive varying environments and temperatures, although sunny fort courtyards are preferred.
Other
Attempting to take clippings for grafting is not recommended, and will result in a good smack to the face.
Should only be watered twice a week max, once a week if kept in darkness.
Hardiness
Is prone to being over-watered or drying out, care must be taken to make sure its hydration is balanced. Avoid leaving in direct sunlight to prevent wilting.
Other
Enjoys listening to music, doesn’t seem to wilt even if left in darkness for extended periods of time.
