Getting Started
So, you have a plantpet seed and you want to plant it and start taking care for your plantpet. Here is what you need to do.

Step 1. Rez the plantpet seed. Then touch it to get its menu and press the menu button "Grow". Then you will receive the PlantPets Terms and you will be presented with a second menu that lets you agree with the terms. After you press the menu button "I Agree" you will receive the actual potted plantpet.

Step 2. Rez the potted plantpet and touch it to start it.

Step 3. Touch the pot (some plantpets may come in a vase, bowl, stand, etc. instead) get the control menu with 12 buttons. The three most important buttons are:

[Watering...] - opens a submenu for watering.
[Speed...] - opens a submenu for changing the speed of growth.
[Pause]/[Resume] - pauses/resumes your PlantPet.

(Read next section for full details about all menu buttons.)

Menu Buttons
[Full Stats]

Prints the full state of the plantpet in the chat. The state of you plantpet is described by six parameters: age, growth, happiness, health, speed of growth and moisture level. To keep your plantpet happy and healthy you need to water it regularly. If left dry your plantpet will gradually become unhappy, then its health will start dropping. If its health becomes 0% then the growth of your plantpet will be reversed and it may die. If your plantpet dies it will give you an option to reset it.

[Watering...]

Opens the watering submenu with a few options for increasing the moisture level. You can water as much as you want your plantpet. High moisture levels will not damage it. But if your plantpet is unhealthy then moisture level above 90% will not allow it to recover fast.

Important Note: Even if it is fully grown your plantpet keeps consuming water and it needs to be watered.

[Speed...]

Opens the speed submenu. Note that whatever speed of growth you choose the growth of a plant is slow and normally you should allow at least a couple of minutes before you see any visible change. With the XXtra Fast speed you should allow at least 1 min before you notice any changes. With the RL Speed your PlantPet will grow with approximately 1% in 24h. That is, it may take 3 months or longer before it is fully grown depending on the care it receives.

Experiment with different speeds and see which one suits you best.

Important Note: When your PlantPet is growing fast it is also consuming water fast and it needs to be watered more often.

[Friends...]

Opens a submenu for viewing and modifying the list of friends. The friends of your plantpet are able always to water and pause it. Friends need to be added with their legacy names. Learn more about legacy names in the SL Wiki.

[Unlock]/[Lock] – If unlocked the [Watering...] and [Pause]/[Resume] buttons will be available to every AV. If locked, only the friends of your plantpet will be able to water and pause it. All other AVs will only get the [About] button in the menu.

[IM On]/[IM Off]

Switches on/off the IM reports your plantpet would send you every 12 hours if it is left dry and its health is below 40%.

[Pause]/[Resume]

Pauses/resumes your plantpet. If paused your plantpet does not grow, does not count days to baby seed, does not consume any water, and its happiness and health parameters do not change. Use this option if you are leaving your plantpet rezzed for long periods without care.

[Particles…]

Opens a particles submenu for selecting a particle effect as an indication of happiness. The included particle effect(s) turns on if the happiness of your plantpet is above 70%. You can get more particle effects for plantpets in the PlantPets Main Store.

[Get Update]

Checks for available updates for your plantpet.

[Plant Name]

You will be prompted in the chat to type in a new name of your plantpet. Type * if you have pressed this button by mistake.

[RESET]

Resets your plantpet, i.e. all parameters will be initialised to their starting values and the list of friends will be emptied. Starting from build 6 of version 2.0s the rest of a plantpet does not reset the days to baby seed.
