Revision 9

Overview

Flower farming is part of inZOI's gardening system. Flowers are one of several plant types that Zois can grow outdoors on their property. Unlike vegetable crops that require constant attention, flowers grow on their own once planted and serve as both decorative elements and crafting ingredients. The March 2026 update (v0.7.0) significantly expanded the flower system by introducing bouquet making, flower basket crafting, six new farmable flower varieties, seed purchasing at flower shops, fragrance crafting, and special effects for flowers grown at high Gardening skill levels.

Flower Growing Mechanics

Flowers are classified as growing plants in inZOI's build menu, found under the outdoor category. To plant flowers:

1. Enter Build Mode on your Zoi's property.

2. Navigate to the outdoor section of the build catalog.

3. Select from the available flower varieties under growing plants.

4. Place the flower bed on an outdoor plot with soil access.

Growth and Maintenance

Flowers and saplings grow on their own without player intervention. This sets them apart from other plant types in the gardening system:

Because flowers require no maintenance, they are the lowest-effort plant type for outdoor decoration. However, the Gardening skill still governs the variety of flowers available for planting. Higher skill levels unlock a wider selection of growing plants, including more flower varieties.

Flowers vs. Crops

The key differences between flowers and food crops are:

Decorative Uses

Flowers function as outdoor decorative objects. They add visual variety to a Zoi's property and can be used to:

• Enhance curb appeal and make the front yard more inviting

• Create themed garden areas alongside other outdoor objects

• Add color variety to properties, especially during seasonal changes

• Fill garden space that does not need to produce crops

Seed Purchasing

The March 2026 update introduced seed purchasing at flower shops. Zois can visit a Flower Shop in any city and buy seeds for specific flower varieties, then plant them on fertile soil plots on their property. This gives players much more control over which flower types they grow, compared to the pre-set options available in Build Mode. The system mirrors how crop farming works, but flowers still require less maintenance once planted.

Six new farmable flower varieties were added alongside the seed purchasing system. These expand the selection of plantable flowers significantly, giving players more options for garden design and a wider range of ingredients for bouquet and basket crafting. Seeds are reasonably priced and available at flower shops across Dowon, Bliss Bay, and Cahaya.

Bouquet Making

Bouquet making is a crafting activity introduced in the March 2026 update. Zois can combine harvested flowers into bouquets at a crafting station or through a Flower Shop. Different flower combinations produce different bouquet styles, encouraging players to grow a diverse garden for maximum crafting variety.

The bouquet-making process works as follows:

1. Grow flowers to maturity in your garden (or purchase harvested flowers from a Flower Shop).

2. Harvest blooms from mature flower plants. The harvested flowers go into your Zoi's inventory.

3. Use a crafting station or the Flower Shop interface to select flowers for a bouquet.

4. Choose a combination of flowers. The resulting bouquet style depends on the flowers used.

5. Complete the crafting interaction. The finished bouquet appears in your inventory.

Bouquets can be used in several ways:

Flower Baskets

Flower baskets are a second crafting output introduced alongside bouquets in the March 2026 update. While bouquets are handheld arrangements meant primarily for gifting, flower baskets are larger decorative displays that serve as statement pieces for homes and businesses. Zois craft flower baskets using the same harvested flowers as bouquets, but baskets typically require more flowers and produce a more visually elaborate result.

Flower baskets are especially popular as decorative items in home decoration and can be placed on tables, counters, and shelves. They are also sellable through the Pocket Market or flower shop businesses, often at a higher price than individual bouquets due to the additional materials required.

Special Effects from High Gardening Skill

The March 2026 update introduced a new reward for dedicated gardeners: flowers grown at high Gardening skill levels can gain special effects that go beyond simple decoration and influence gameplay. These enhanced flowers produce more visually impressive blooms and may have additional properties when used in bouquets or baskets.

The exact effects depend on the flower type and the Zoi's skill level. Higher skill levels produce flowers with stronger and more varied effects, making the Gardening skill even more valuable for players who want to get the most out of the flower farming and arranging system. This mechanic rewards long-term investment in the Gardening skill tree and provides a meaningful progression path for Zois focused on floral activities.

Fragrance

Fragrance crafting is a supplementary feature added alongside the bouquet and basket system. Zois can use harvested flowers to add fragrance to their arrangements, introducing a new crafting dimension. Zois with higher Gardening skill levels can craft more complex and desirable fragrances from their harvested flowers, making fragrance a mid-to-late-game crafting element that ties into overall skill progression.

Fragrances enhance the perceived quality and value of bouquets and baskets. A fragrant bouquet given as a gift may have a stronger positive effect on relationships than an unscented one, and fragrant items sold through a flower shop business tend to fetch higher prices.

Connection to Florist Career

The Florist Career is a dedicated active career that uses the flower farming and arranging systems as core gameplay. Zois working as florists purchase seeds, grow flowers, create bouquets and flower baskets, and sell them to customers. With the March 2026 update, the Florist Career became fully functional, as the bouquet and basket crafting systems it relies on are now implemented. The flower shop can also be acquired as a business property, meaning players can own and operate a flower shop even without pursuing the Florist Career path.
