How do we get new seed colors?
When a plant is ready to harvest, you will have a small light (VFX) coming from them.This will indicate a new seed. If the VFX is green, the seed will be the same colour as the plant you are harvesting from, and if it is a pink, the seed will be a different colour as the plant you are harvesting from. In creative mode, all colours are available from the start in the shed.

Why is my climbing plant not climbing?
Make sure you have placed the plant close to an item that has height (such as a trellis or fence). Cut the top of the plant and check back: climbers can be tricky to get to take, so regular pruning is required.
A plant is not growing, what should I do?
