Plant Tycoon is a gardening simulation game where you nurture plants and experiment with increasingly rare and valuable species. Breed and cross breed plants until you find the 6 Magic Plants of Isola and solve the genetic puzzle! Grow plants, organize and harvest seeds, monitor your plants' health and maturity, and protect your plants from dehydration and infestations. Sell some of your creations to fund further research and purchase upgrades and supplies. It's the perfect sim experience!
Posted by Emma on 07/21/2008 Absoloutely awesome RTS game... very fun and lots of plant experimentation to explore. Can get a bit tedious in the sales screen so make sure its full of young fresh plants to make lots of sales.
Posted by adam on 11/28/2009 The starting soil is suitable only for the common plants. You will need
better soil to grow more expensive and fragile hybrids. If your plants are
steadily losing health, they are too fragile for the soil they are planted
in. Only grow common plants until your soil is upgraded.
Posted by Rochelle on 11/01/2009 You can get money for your seeds. Like if you have to many seeds and dont have enough money for a seed tray. Just drop your seeds in the tresh can and they give you a 1-3 dollars I tried it; it works! Posted by fitt on 08/02/2009 To get mela rare oak, I tested to mixed Blazing Pear Cactus and Venus Bamboo, the result is The Magic Plant of Mela Rare Oak. Posted by Jake Pond on 07/22/2008 If you want to create Hybrids in starting soil you need to use Insta Gro To Speed Up the one that might be your first magic plant Posted by Fishbob on 06/14/2008 I found some complete cross-breeding charts at www.sourgummyworm.com as well as pretty much everythng I needed to know! Posted by Jennifer on 05/16/2008 Building on Hesters hint:
Top 3 are actually:
1. Ridgeball
2. Multiflora
3. Weeper
It is easy to get any plant you need once you have the order that Hester pointed out and mutation liquid. It will change either the flower or the plant up or down by one step. You have a 25% chance of moving toward your goal each time you use it! Just pick a plant that you already have that is as close as you can then mutate until you reach your goal. Posted by kitty on 04/26/2008 if you cross pollinate an Fourpetal Maple and an Citrus Reptans, you get a rosaceae fern Posted by rob on 04/25/2008 Before a plant dies start to sell it they will buy it. Posted by Plantman on 04/07/2008 Use the mutation liquid to get better plants! Posted by Charlotte on 03/29/2008 If you are waiting for plants to mature, but you dont have enough money to get the instant growth you can catch butterflies for a little money.

Posted by Hester on 11/10/2007 I found the logic in Plant Tycoon. I’ll try to explain it clearly. I don’t know if anyone else has discovered it yet…
There is a domination in the flowers and plants. I think I found all the plants and flowers, but I’m not sure.
First the plants’ domination:
(I haven’t found those in (), but they must be above Pitcher, the order is probably wrong)
This means for example: Fern + Astera = Gladiatus
But also: Fern + Orchid = Gladiatus <-- because there is nothing between Gladiatus and Astera it chooses the top one. I’ve tested this, and it’s true. The list is correct.
Another example: Tigerfern + Reptans = Fanleaf
It just chooses the middle one, except when there’s no middle, it chooses the one above the middle. Dominance.
The difficult part is finding the top and bottom one. Because they are hard to mix. I used the Mutation Liquid to find them. That liquid makes a plant in either a new flower, that is one above or below in dominance, or a new plant which has the same rule.
Now, combining the two dominance rules is a bit tricky. It takes a lot of thinking… If you want a fabled orchid for example, you CAN (there are more ways) do this:
Fragrant Grass + Jalapa Astera = Fabled Orchid. Just look into this, and you’ll see the logic eventually;)
Now the magic flowers. I found all six, but I’m not sure if there are just these six, or it’s because I found these six first…
1 Rose of Joy, Rosaceae Fern
2 Magic Tree of Fragrance, Four Petal Maple
3 Fabled Rose of Isola, Fabled Lemonbush
4 Fruit of Life Mela, Rare Oak
5 Flower of Knowledge, Nox Orchid
6 Berries of Wealth, Aereus Scandens
If you understand my dominance rules, it’s not that hard to find them;) Good luck! Posted by Poppyduck on 10/09/2007 If you have bought all the extra seeds in the store and are waiting for the re-stock. Leave all of your pots empty while you busy yourself doing something else (like checking your plants on other saved games). The time is still passing quickly but not killing your unattended plants Posted by Jessica on 09/26/2007 You can change the time on your computers clock to advance the game. It runs on Real-Time so changing the clock speeds up the game.

http://www.squidoo.com/plant_tycoon Posted by Salamander2002 on 03/26/2008 How to catch bugs.
When you see a bug hit the Alt. key. The screen freezes
If you do not have your net in hand, keep your finger on the Alt key because when you click the net the screen will unfreeze. Hit the Alt key to refreeze the screen, move cursor to right of bug, click!
I caught 23 with the green net before I went ahead and upraded. I have five more bugs to catch to see if they really are displayed in the nursery. Posted by Dragonito on 02/09/2008 I found this cheat when I started playing to get money at the beginning of the game.
So, first start the game (it has to be a new game). When it asks you if you want help, click yes. Then follow the instructions till you get to the one that says, "One of your plants has produced seeds! The seed appears in the seed area..." and so on. Then collect the seeds and then hit the "replay tutorial instruction" (at the top of the screen) and you get extra seeds even though the plant was depleted. Collect those seeds and hit the "replay tutorial instruction" again and you get more seeds. Continue doing this till you have enough to buy the blue soil, yellow soil, blue water, yellow water, seed tray 2, seed tray 3, blue net, yellow net and anything else you want.
