Flowers

**Flowers** are an essential item in Hello Sweet Days. On the patio in your room is a space exclusively for a flower pot, and when your flower is watered enough times it will grow fruit that you can harvest. Though these are called flowers, many do not have the appearance of a flower; for example, the Neon Ice Cream Cake Flower looks like a cake, but it still grows fruit.

Flowers will reset every 24 hours, which means they will go back to their first stage of growth. It's best to remember to harvest your flower before it resets.

## How to Obtain

Upon joining the game, every player is automatically given the following 5 flowers:

* Cinnamoroll Street's Special Violets
* Pompompurin Marina Special Sunflower
* Little Twin Stars Hill Special Lily of the Valley
* My Melody Park Special Gerbera Flower
* Hello Kitty Avenue Special Rose

Each flower is based on each a Sanrio character and their respective neighborhood in Smile Town, and have their own unique Normal and Rare Fruits that can be used to attend or host a party.

Besides these five, more flowers can be obtained through Happy Bags, Sweet Collections, Events, or by trading with another user.

## Watering

To make a flower grow, you must, of course, water it. You can water each flower once per growth cycle, whether it be your own or another user's flower. Flowers grow quicker the more water they get, so ask your friends to help out, and help them in return! To water a flower, simply tap on it when you see a watering can icon hovering above it.

When watering a flower, players will typically earn 1 coin and 2 EXP, also known as Smiles. If a player causes a flower to grow to its next stage when watering, the player will receive 5 coins and 3 EXP. The exception to this is when a plant becomes ready for harvest immediately after watering, in which case the player will only receive the typical rewards.

Players can earn a maximum of 100 coins total per day through watering flowers, but there is no limit to how many EXP a user can earn from watering.

## Harvesting

Once a flower blooms, you can harvest fruit from it. Harvesting another user's flower will give you a single fruit, while harvesting your own flower will give you three fruit. To harvest fruit from a flower, tap on the flower when you see an apple icon hovering above it.

If you harvest your flower immediately, you are most likely to only receive Normal Fruit. If you wait, and allow other players harvest your flower before you do, the greater the chances of you harvesting one or more Rare Fruits from it. You'll receive an in-game notification when your flower has a Rare fruit to be harvested, up until all 3 have become Rare. Whereas Normal Fruit is used to attend a party, Rare Fruit is used to host parties - which in turn can earn you plushies, so Rare fruit can be worth the wait!

When your flower has bloomed, you can tap on the plant to receive a pop up notification informing you how many Rare Fruit are ready for harvest, and a button to confirm if you would like to begin harvesting. Some players have reported a glitch where they do not get this notification, resulting in not being able to see how many Rare Fruits have grown before choosing to harvest or not. If you harvest your plant before all three fruits have become Rare, Strawberry King will offer to make them all Rare for 70 coins.

After harvesting, your flower will still show as fully-bloomed for other players to harvest despite appearing dormant for you. If you would like to immediately have your flower start growing and bloom again sooner, simply tap on the dormant flower and confirm to reset it.

The chances of harvesting a Rare Fruit from another user's flower are slim, but it's possible. Most likely, you will receive a Normal Fruit. These are still useful, though, and it helps the other user get their own Rare fruit!
