Gardening

The Spicy Pepper Seed can be planted in soil. Unlike most crops that occupy only one tile in a soil plot, a spicy pepper bush has a soil plot size of 2x2 (4 tiles).

The Spicy Pepper Seed takes 6 in-game days to fully grow into a bush, which can then be harvested. After the first harvest, it can be harvested three more times after 3 in-game days each time (day 9, 12, and 15).

The Spicy Pepper Seed consumes 4 units of fertilizer per in-game day (one per tile it occupies), and can hold up to 99 units of fertilizer.

The Spicy Pepper Seed gives adjacent crops the Quality Boost buff, which means the crops will get a Star Quality boost. To obtain any buffs from other crops, the Spicy Pepper Seed needs to be placed near 2 crops that give the same buff. These crops can be placed anywhere around the bush to give the desired buff.
