Tools

Tools are items located in the top row of the Tool Tray in the main screen. They are used to maintain the greenhouse by caring for plants and catching insects. Players start out with all Basic tier tools. Upgraded versions of the basic tools can be purchased from the supply shop. Players must purchase upgrades in order, they are unable to skip a tier.

Soil
As the first step in growing plants, soil must be placed into a pot. Higher quality soil is needed to maintain higher Tier plants, otherwise their health will constantly go down.

Watering Can
The second step in growing plants is to soften the soil by applying water. Keep the soil hydrated to promote healthy plants. Don't drown them though! Higher quality cans will fill a plant's Water meter faster as well as evaporate more slowly. They are also needed for higher Tier plants.

Pruning Shears
As a plant grows, it will sometimes have dead leaves or branches. Use pruning shears to cut away these useless bits so they don't compromise the overall health of the plant. Shears can also be used to customize the appearance of plants, but be careful! No one wants to buy plants if you cut off all the flowers.

Butterfly Net
Butterfly nets don't help with growing plants. They are used to catch bugs to be added to the Collection screen. Try to move your mouse slowly when you're using a net to catch bugs. If you don't, they'll be startled and try to escape. Once a certain bug has been added to the collection, additional bugs of the same type will be sold for money depending upon rarity.
