Seed Family

To grow plants you need seeds and you must plant those seeds in the proper soil. There are three types of soil and you should upgrade to the best soil you can afford as quickly as you can. Seeds are broken into three main types -- common, endangered and extinct. Only common seeds can grow in level 1 soil so if you want to grow prettier and more expensive plants you need to upgrade your soil!

Seeds are broken down by family and quality. All seeds have 4 levels of qualities, known as tiers (1 being the worst, 4 being the best). Within each family of plant seeds, you can grow a variety of types of plants. For example.... here are the four tiers of seeds in the Reptans family. The Reptans Family of Seeds

Tier 1 Reptans Tier 2 Reptans Tier 3 Reptans Tier 4 Reptans

I purchased a tier 1 reptans seeds (this is a common type seed) from the supply store. I planted it, fed it with plant food and watched it grow. It grew into a citrus reptans that sold in my nursery for $8.

Tier 1 seeds can turn into bluestar, citrus, fourpetal, jalapa or spotted plants. In this case, it happened to be a citrus reptans seed, however it could have just as easily been a bluestar, fourpetal, jalapa or spotted reptans plant. Anyway the point is, when you are buying seeds from the supply store, you really don't know which one you will get. I then polinated the plant to procude more citrus reptans seeds. I took one of those seeds, planted it and gave it a dose of the mutation liquid. When I polinated the plant this time it procued a tier 3 reptans seed that procuded the Mela Reptans plant which sold in my nursery for $18.

Tier 1 plants can be found in the starter plants, seeds, and common seeds in the Supply Store. They will survive in all soil levels. Tier 1 seeds make the following type of plants ... •

bluestar

• • • •

citrus fourpetal jalapa spotted

Tier 2 plants can be bred from Tier 1 plants. They can also be found in the endangered seeds section of the Supply Store. They will survive best in upgraded soil, but with a lot of care and hard work can survive long enough to polinate them in some cases at the basic soil level. Tier 2 seeds make the following type of plants ... • • • •

daisy fragrant rosaceae venomous

Tier 3 plants can initially be bred from cross-pollinating Tier 1 and Tier 2 foliage and flowers. They can also be found in the endangered and extinct seeds in the Supply Store. They will survive only in the best soil. Cross-pollinating Tier 3 plants with other Tier 3 plants, or combinations of Tier 1, 2 and 3 foliage and flowers may result in new and exciting species for you to discover. Tier 3 seeds make the following type of plants ... • • • • • • • •

aureus fabled blazing mela mystic nox painted viola

Tier 4 plants are extremely rare and will sell for the most money! They can not be initially bred from cross-pollinating, but special chemicals are needed to find them. However, they can also be found in the extinct seeds in the Supply Store. They will survive only in the best soil. Tier 4 seeds make the following type of plants ... • • • • • •

arthurium baccatus lilia tahitian tilia venus
