Regional Plant Distribution

Each nation in Teyvat contains exclusive regional plant species required for specific character ascensions. Mondstadt plants grow across plains and cliffsides, Liyue flora thrive in high-altitude stone landscapes, Inazuma’s plants grow near beaches and islands, Sumeru’s dense forests produce exotic botanicals, and Fontaine features aquatic and wetland plants suited to Hydro-rich environments. These regional distinctions help guide exploration routes.

Respawn Timers and Farming Routes

Most flowers and plants respawn every 48 hours in real time. This allows players to plan efficient farming cycles. Some resources, such as local specialties, have fixed spawn points, while others appear in clusters or natural formations. Learning optimal routes minimizes travel time and ensures steady material acquisition for leveling characters.

Uses in Ascension and Crafting

Many flowers serve as ascension materials for characters. For example, Mondstadt’s Cecilia and Windwheel Aster, Liyue’s Qingxin and Silk Flower, Inazuma’s Naku Weed and Sakura Bloom, Sumeru’s Padisarah and Nilotpala Lotus, and Fontaine’s Lumidouce Bell and Beryl Conch are vital for raising regional characters. Plants are also used in crafting potions, resonance stones and cooking recipes that enhance stamina, healing or damage.

Environmental Interactions

Certain plants require elemental interaction to harvest effectively. Electro abilities can activate Naku Weed, Pyro breaks Flaming Flowers, and Cryo lowers the temperature of special environmental blooms. Some plants are found underwater, while others require puzzle solving or climbing to reach. Understanding these interactions speeds up farming and reduces wasted time.
