The last update on this page was on: 16th August 2026 (v0.2.1) # Creating a Plant With Plant DNA obtained during [Getting Started]($guides/getting_started), you're ready to create a fertilized seed. This is the crucial step toward bringing prehistoric plants back to life. --- ## Requirements To create a fertilized seed, you'll need: - A **Plant DNA strand** (must be 100% quality) - **Seeds or crops**: Wheat Seeds, Beetroot Seeds, Torchflower Seeds, Potato, or Carrot - A **Syringe (Clean)** ### Supported Seed Types The following seeds and crops can be fertilized with Plant DNA: - **Wheat Seeds** — All prehistoric plants - **Beetroot Seeds** — All prehistoric plants - **Torchflower Seeds** — All prehistoric plants - **Potato** — All prehistoric plants - **Carrot** — All prehistoric plants **Note:** Melon Seeds and Pumpkin Seeds cannot be used for fertilization. Saplings cannot be fertilized either, meaning prehistoric trees are currently only obtainable in Creative mode. --- ## Process 1. **Clean the Seeds** Place the seeds/crop in a crafting table with a clean syringe **Output:** Unfertilized Seeds 2. **Fertilize the Seeds** Place the Plant DNA (100% quality), the unfertilized seeds, and a clean syringe together in the crafting table **Output:** Fertilized Plant Seeds 3. **Cultivate the Seeds** Place the fertilized seeds into a [Flora Cultivator](@jurassic-saga:flora_cultivator) — the machine used to grow prehistoric plants and trees --- ## Next Steps You've successfully created fertilized plant seeds! The next stage is placing them in the [Flora Cultivator](@jurassic-saga:flora_cultivator) to grow your prehistoric plants. --- ## Tips - Always use a clean syringe — dirty ones won't work - Only Plant DNA can be used to fertilize seeds - DNA must be exactly 100% quality — anything lower will not work - All supported seed types produce the same fertilized output and can grow any prehistoric plant - Prehistoric trees cannot currently be grown in Survival, as saplings cannot be fertilized --- Found an issue or have a suggestion?
