==Trivia==
*Shade Vine is the first nonbinary plant to be created by the one and only Sani.
*Despite being able to power other shadow plants, Shade Vine cannot be powered.
**Originally, they were going to be able to be powered by a Moonflower, which would extend the Shade Vine's power radius from a single tile to 3x3.
**This was scrapped because the creator then realized that would be redundant due to Moonflower already powering a 3x3 area and this being a very niche ability.
*Shade Vine can automatically power a Moonflower if they share a tile, without the usual need for multiple Moonflowers.
**Originally, this interaction powered the Shade Vine instead. Of course this was back when Shade Vine could be powered.
*Shade Vine does not count as a Moonflower towards Shadow Peashooter's Plant Food ability, despite being able to power plants.
