How To Train Your Plant
In Gardener, the plants are simulated as part of a complete ecosystem. There are many factors that can cause stress, stunting, or slowing your plant's growth. But even a perfect specimen grown in perfect conditions can result in a vastly different plant, depending on a technique known as plant training. Plant training is a crucial process that can turn your mediocre species into a blooming bush full of fruits, or elevate the rare and best plants to even higher levels. And it's really simple once you understand a plant's structure.
Let's look at our simple example tree. With just one branch, our apple tree produces only one apple per season. And it took us a season to get to this point. But don't worry, with proper training, we can improve the yield. We just need to cause the plant to branch out more; grow sideways - instead of up.
To do it, clip the very top of the plant branch, the part of it that is currently growing. Make sure you are cutting a growing branch - cutting it below current growth will just trim the branch, and avoid cutting it too close to its original node, always leaving at least single node in branch intact. If you succeed, the node will branch out into two new nodes, instead of growing up. You can then repeat the process for new nodes, creating four more, etc. This way you can not only shape the plant but also increase its produce. Be aware though - the largest fruits are always growing on the highest branches, and trained branches will produce smaller fruit by volume. Training a plant also causes temporary stress that slows down the growth for a couple of days.
If you accidentally trim the wrong branch or simply forgot about training - don't worry. For annuals - you can always try again, and with perennials, just wait until the plant is between seasons. Once all leaves have fallen, you can trim any branch you want, and once the growth starts again, you will see little branches spurring out from cut nodes. It's also the best moment to train the plant if you want to avoid training stress. In Gardener Plant Creator, all plants are simulated in artificially perfect conditions - an unlikely situation in normal gameplay, but you can experiment with training by clicking on the node you want to cut and simulating the growth by enabling timelapse mode. Remember that training the plant in Plant Creator doesn't affect the plant template in any way, and the created plant design is otherwise always simulated as completely untrained. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2813710/Gardener_Plant_Creator/

The seeds are planted. You have watered the plant, given it enough access to sun, made sure the soil is aerated enough for roots to healthily develop, kept the pH perfect throughout the whole growth, and carefully managed the perfect amount of N/P/K/Ca/Fe/Mg. You have kept the nibbling critters away, made sure no pests have made a feast of its leaves, and grown it fungi and disease free. It's time for harvest! ...And it is a really disappointing harvest.
But What Went Wrong?

In Gardener, plant and maintain accurately simulated gardens, made of your own procedurally generated plant species, grown with artificial selection genetics and authentic gardening techniques. Restore abandoned gardens to lure critters and local fauna, manage lush orchards for seasonal profits, and design dream lawns, backyards, and forests. Carefully balance nutrients to optimize the growth potential of every leaf and fruit, counter pests, fungi, and diseases, unlock new areas and utilities, and learn how advanced pruning, grafting, and training techniques affect plant growth, to become a Master Gardener.
Gardener invites you to breathe life into the wild and forsaken, transforming neglected spaces into thriving nature sanctuaries. Guided by mischievous grove spirits, plant, cultivate, and design your way through diverse environments, unlocking new areas and utilities. Whether providing a sunlit haven for elusive fauna or a secluded nook for twilight creatures, your garden will beckon to all, inviting you to delve into the tranquil art of gardening and embark on an educational, botanical odyssey that turns the ordinary into the extraordinary.
🍀Every Leaf Lives🌞
With unparalleled simulation depth, each leaf, petal, and branch in Gardener carries its unique genetic signature, needs, and tale. Shape the bushes with precision pruners, train fruiting trees to maximize yields, and select the prime specimens for cloning or trade. No two plants are ever the same—each one is a unique living entity with its own story to tell.🍏The Apple Does Not Fall Far From The Tree🌳
Handpick the finest fruits and flowers, utilizing advanced grafting techniques to cultivate supreme species. By selectively inheriting the most desirable traits over successive generations, you'll cultivate rarities unseen in commercial seeds. Engineer your own highly sought-after varieties, paving your way to botanical eminence and unparalleled profitability.👨🌾For Sustainable Ecosystems👩🌾
This isn't just another game about lawnmowing and propping up garden gnomes. Wield your mower sparingly and only when necessary, to create environments where critters and insects thrive. With diverse flora to provide pollination opportunities, tall grass to retain precious moisture, and an understanding that no plant thrives on a golf course, you'll cultivate a happy garden for delighted hedgehogs and squirrels.🌻Master Plants Care - From Lawnyards to Orchards🥕
Each seedling is the beginning of an extensive voyage. Tend to your plants with diligent watering, provide ample sunlight, offer the right mix of nutrients, and fend off invasive pests. Monitor the faintest variations in foliage and fruit to detect issues early and respond promptly. It's the meticulous care that elevates plants to their utmost growth, sometimes exceeding even what nature intended.🌳Infinite Species Customizability🌲
The procedural nature of plant growth allows for a never-ending variety of plant traits and combinations. Start with basic seeds and refine every aspect of your garden's flora, from the color spectrum of the blooms to their resistance to pesticides. With countless potential outcomes, your imagination and perseverance are the only limits to what you can create.Gardener invites you to breathe life into the wild and forsaken, transforming neglected spaces into thriving nature sanctuaries.
