How to play Plantoria
- Plant a seed. Tap an empty pot, add soil and choose a seed from your inventory.
- Water it. Each stage needs water before it grows. Seed, sprout, growing, blooming and mature: five stages in all.
- Harvest or breed. A mature flower can be harvested for coins, or used for pollen.
- Cross-pollinate. Collect pollen from one blooming flower and use it on another. The seeds that grow are a new hybrid.
- Fill your codex. Every new hybrid goes into your codex. Mix more species into one plant to reach the rarest flowers.
Orders from customers, crates with seeds and a lucky wheel keep the garden busy between harvests.
How flower breeding works
Every plant has a DNA mix of the species it came from. Crossing a daisy with a rose gives a two-species hybrid; crossing that hybrid with a sunflower gives a three-species one, and so on. The more species in one plant, the rarer it is. In the demo you work with six species (cactus, daisy, lavender, lotus, rose and sunflower), and the last chapter asks for the flower that holds all six.
Want the whole garden? The full flower breeding game adds eight more species, seasons, pests and a shared world where other gardeners can buy the hybrids you discover.
