Usage[]
Watering cans are used to water flowersto prevent them from wilting and dying, or to promote hybridization and the breeding of new flowers. When a wilted flower is watered, it will return to life the following day.
The player must stand next to a flower to water it. A watered flower will show water droplets dropping to the ground, followed by sparkles indicating that it has been watered.
Watering flowers with the watering can is considered crucial to having and maintaining a perfect town environment, because it keeps flowers thriving and helps promote new growth (including hybrid flowers).
In games where the silver and gold watering cans exist, they come with special properties that can be useful to the player. For instance, the silver watering can revive red turnips in City Folk, while the golden watering can has a chance to produce golden roses when wilted black roses are watered with it.
In New Leaf, the function of the improved watering cans vary from the previous games, and the Beautiful Town Ordinance removes the necessity of using a watering can on flowers (they do not wilt when it is in effect).
In New Horizons, flowers no longer wilt by default, and only need to be watered to produce hybrids. A black rose that has been watered once by a gold watering can has a 50% chance of producing a gold rose until it produces one. Better watering cans water more tiles at once.
