How to Water Plants in New Leaf

If you're a new player of Nintendo's Animal Crossing: New Leaf, you might be wondering how to properly water your virtual plants. Just like in real life, plants in the game need water to grow and thrive. Here's everything you need to know about watering your plants in New Leaf.

Understanding Plant Needs

First things first: before you start watering, you need to know what plants need in order to grow. In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, different flowers require varying amounts of water to flourish. Flowers need to be watered at least once a day in order to prevent them from wilting. If a plant does wilt due to a lack of watering, it can be revived with a watering can.

Getting a Watering Can

The key to watering plants in the game is having a watering can. The watering can is a tool that you can use to water plants. You can obtain a watering can by purchasing it from the garden shop or from Isabelle at the town hall. Once you have a watering can, you can start watering your plants.

Watering Plants

When you're ready to water your plants, simply equip your watering can by selecting it from your inventory. Approach the plant you want to water, and press the A button to start watering. Move the watering can back and forth over the plant until it has been fully watered.

Remember that some plants, like trees, do not need to be watered every day. However, watering them can speed up their growth. In addition, if it rains in your town, all plants will receive adequate water without needing to use your watering can.

Special Watering Effects

Using a golden watering can can lead to special effects in your town. A golden watering can can be obtained by maintaining a perfect town for fifteen days in a row. Once you have a golden watering can, watering a plant with it has a chance to cause the plant to become a hybrid. Hybrid plants have different colors than their original plant type and are highly sought after among fans of the game.

Conclusion

Watering your plants in Animal Crossing: New Leaf is a simple and easy way to ensure that your town is lush and beautiful. Just remember to water your plants at least once a day, and to use a golden watering can to discover new hybrid plants. With these tips, your town will be the envy of all your friends.
