Frequently Asked Questions

How do I unlock new plant species?

You unlock new species by successfully crossbreeding existing plants. Each new hybrid adds to your collection and opens up further breeding options.

Can I breed any two plants together?

Only compatible pairs can be crossed. The game will indicate which plants are eligible for breeding based on your current collection.

What happens if my crossbreeding fails?

Sometimes a cross won't produce a new hybrid. You can simply try again with the same or different parent plants — there's no penalty for failed attempts.

Is there a time limit for breeding?

No, there's no timer. You can take as long as you like to decide which plants to cross, making it a stress-free experience.

How many hybrids are in the game?

The game features a wide variety of hybrids to discover. The exact number depends on the combinations you create, but there is plenty to keep you engaged.
