Greenhouse and plant puzzle
In xenobotany the past player sets a seed and a condition, and the future player sees what grew. One community walkthrough reports these two combinations: blue plus purple plus sunlight, and blue plus red plus water. The eye sensor has to see a player or the device stays dead.
What I checked
The seed combinations are from the Whisper walkthrough, not two independently verified playthroughs. I do not have a full seed chart, and I am not filling the blanks. The softlock is the part I can tie to the studio: jumping on plants in that chapter can stick you, and the fix is a checkpoint reload.
Past and future
Decide who stands in the earlier time. That person plants. The other person reports the color, height and whether the eye lit. If the eye cannot see a body, treat the machine as off, not as a wrong seed.
- Confirm the eye has a line of sight to one of you.
- Try blue and purple with sunlight if the prompt is about light.
- Try blue and red with water if the prompt is about watering.
- Do not jump onto the plants. The known-issues page says that sticks players.
- If you are stuck in the mesh, reload the last checkpoint.
What is still unverified
A full matrix of seed colors would be useful and I do not have one in text. If your board shows a third color pair, write it down for your partner instead of forcing the two pairs above. The rune puzzle after this room uses the same eye rule.
Questions
Is there one correct plant?
Not in the sources I trust. There are at least two working pairs, and more may exist.
Why did nothing grow?
Check the eye first, then the seed and the condition.
Where is the Battery Bulb achievement?
All Grown Up is the story achievement for cultivating one. It sits in this late sector.
