You may not have a green thumb in real life, but you can become a gardener
extraordinaire in Plant Tycoon. This simulated plant-growing extravaganza will
have you breeding and cross-breeding plants like a pro. Keep mixing and matching
different plant species to solve the genetic puzzle. Only the right combination
will create the Six Magic Plants of Isola. Be careful, your new blooms may be
blossoming and flourishing one day and suffering from dehydration and
infestations the next. Conduct research, keep an eye on your seedlings, and make
money to fund it all. Can you build a successful nursery,
or will your dreams of
becoming a Plant Tycoon wither and fade?
Discover more than 500 fascinating plant species and collect 50 species of
insects that you find in the greenhouse. Your collection of plant life will
range from everyday seeds, to rare, and extinct species. Keep planting, growing, pruning, and pollinating the plants with great care until they're mature enough
to sell. Then use the profits to fund research and buy decorative items such as
sculptures, fountains, and ornaments. The more customers you can attract, the
bigger and better your business will become. Don't have a lot of time for your
plants? Put a seed in the ground and let it grow in real time while you're away.
The next time you play, there may be a new sprout waiting for you!
