In this guide we will show you how to grow all the plants in Hogwarts Legacy to earn the “Put Down Roots” Achievement/Trophy.
Growing various plants in Hogwarts Legacy has multiple benefits, as it gives you access to raw materials that can be used to make magic potions, but also to various consumables that help you in battle. For example, mandrake can temporarily stun your opponents.
To grow plants you need two things, a potting table and seeds. It is also a prerequisite that you have completed the main quest “Herbology Class”.
In the botany classroom there is a small potting table, which is enough to plant Dittany, Knotgrass, Mallowsweet and Mandrake plants. For the remaining four plants you will have to build larger potting tables (medium or large) in the Room of Requirement.
Your first step is to purchase the required seeds from “The Magic Neep” and “Dogweed and Deathcap” shops. These shops are located in Hogsmeade, the 2nd base area of the game. The seeds will require quite a bit of money, so make sure you have collected the required amount.
After obtaining all the seeds, you should then build at least one large potting table in the Room of Requirement. In it you can plant the seeds to grow the remaining four plants required to earn the Achievement/Trophy, namely Fluxweed, Shrivelfig, Chinese Chomping Cabbage and Venomous Tentacula.
In our video we have created a total of eight potting tables so that we can grow all eight plants at the same time, but of course this is not necessary. However, this process saves time, since if you only have two pots, a small one in your classroom and a large one in the Room of Requirement you will need to wait 40 minutes, and 51 minutes respectively for all the plants to sprout. With our method 15 minutes is enough to earn the Achievement/Trophy.
