Overview[1]

Planters are inventory items that can be deployed in fields. Only one of each type of planter can be planted at any time, and only one planter can be planted in each field at any time. A player can only have up to 3 planters active at any given point of time. Harvesting planters grants nectar, random loot depending on the planter and the field, and has a chance to summon a Puffshroom. Planters remain where they are placed until claimed by the player.

Mechanics

To use a planter, simply drag the planter in your inventory or use the planter on your hotbar while standing on an unused field. A deployed planter will naturally grow over time only when you are playing the game, unless you have an Offline Voucher, in which it will continue growing for up to 24 hours after you log out. The growth of the planter can be boosted by using glitter on the field it is deployed (25% faster until harvest), active clouds in the field (8% faster each active cloud, 20% maximum bonus growth, lasts until the clouds despawn), a field they can naturally grow by faster (ex. Red Clay Planter grows 25% faster in red fields), or by bees sipping on the planter by standing in the field the planter is deployed. When bees are sipping on the planter, they will convert pollen in the player's bag, grant nectar, and give growth to the planter. The amount of growth added to the planter depends on the bee's energy and the amount of nectar depends on the bee's collection amount and the planter deployed. After reaching 95% growth, the planter will roll on whether it will "smoke" or not. If the planter smoked, the planter will spawn a puffshroom on harvest. The chance for the planter to smoke depends on the type of planter, with the ticket planter and sticker planter being guaranteed to smoke. Upon harvesting the planter, the planter will drop three things: nectar, pollen and items; the nectars are guaranteed to be granted upon harvest, items are only dropped at a certain percentage of growth, and pollen is based on planter growth.

Drops

Planters drop items and nectars upon harvesting, the quality and amount of items and nectars depend on the total growth. Chaining or having the planter deployed in certain fields will make them drop certain items. Some planters also exclusively drop certain items. As seen below

Planter Types

There are currently planters in-game, listed below

Patch history

All planters (except the, and ) were added in the 2021-12-26 update. There are currently 10 reusable planters, thus adding 10 more inventory items that are reusable. Onett hired Not_Nert for modelling all of the planter models. Similarly to certain other items that can be placed down, any planters that have been placed down before the player has joined will not appear for that player. is the only planter that can drop and. The pollen gained from planters counts toward quests that require pollen. is the newest planter, being added in the 2024-01-12 update. Bees do not sip from planters during battle. In spite of the game labelling many planters with "1/1" in the player's inventory, many of them listed above are reusable meaning the player can use them an infinite number of times after purchase. The amount of time taken for a bee to sip nectar from a planter is twice the bee's gathering speed.
