Soil Type

Each plant or fungus can only grow on specific types of soil. Each garden holds many patches of different soil types, allowing variety.

In story mode, each garden may have more than one patch of each soil type.

In Garden Mode, the Cloud Garden only has one patch of each soil type.

When a patch of soil nourishes a Toxic flora, nearby plants or fungi of the same soil patch will become Poisoned, delayed in growth and may disable Harvest, though Salvage would still work.
