Your Pudge Lord is here to save the day! Patch 3.3 introduced some really great items for housing. My favorite is the new flower growing, which brings along a ton of beautiful new ways to improve your house! From day one I was growing a multitude of flowers and sharing their beauty with my fellow Lift FC mates. Now, I can help you do the same . . . so fear not adventurer, for I, Thani, shall give you the means to fill your entire house with floral arrangements.
Introductory Thoughts
By default, you will always start with a Red Oldrose. Once you have your desired color you can feed regular fertilizer (Fishmeal) to speed up grow time without changing the color again. Oldrose will take a little over one day to grow from seed to harvest without fertilizer.
After you feed one pomace of each color you will receive the “Red flower / Unusual Shade” message. From here you can feed again to change the colors as you wish but will also have a random chance to receive a white, black or rainbow flower.
The Tools for the Job
First, you will need to buy some planters. Flowerpots are sold at housing merchants for each residential district. Each Housing Merchant sells a flowerpot styled to the city-state the player resides.

Don’t forget you will also need some soil! The only soil worth using is Shroud Topsoil – it will increase the yield.
While at the housing merchant look nearby and find the Material Supplier to purchase your Oldrose Seeds, Red Pomace, Blue Pomace and Mountain Pomace. The pomace will act as a fertilizer, it speeds up the grow time, similar to fishmeal to outdoor gardening. In addition, each pomace will change the color of the flower.
