Hello! I stumbled across PixPets about two weeks ago and have been figuring out the site a bit. In doing so I have found myself with. Questions. Lol. Most of these are more general but I do have one question asking for specific advice LOL

Is there a way to tell how long a plant takes to grow or bear fruit? I can see the watering time, but not any other. I also know we can see egg hatch time in the Pixdex once we've hatched that species once--is there something like that for plants?

What does a Pixpal’s color do? I know a Pixpal’s affects hoard results; does a pixpal attached to a pixpet do the same? Like, if I had a Magenta Frigflap attached to my Blue Canisqua, would the Canisqua bring back both blue and magenta items?

Where can I see the color of an item? It’s kinda obvious with something like a pumpkin; but what about things like seeds or fertilizers? Do I just look at the item and guess?

Is there a way to sort searches from lowest to highest? I just mean that when I'm searching for, say, plant pots on the usershop search, I'd like to see the cheapest option first, but the first option is always the most expensive and sorts down. I end up going to the last page to find the cheapest option. Is there a way to change this?

And finally, this is just me asking for advice. Two pieces of advice, actually.

What plants are best to grow? I still have one space for planting in my house, and I would like to use it! haha.

Should I destroy my evolution plant? I have a grade 46 evolution plant, at the moment, and I think I got the seeds either just as a basic starter kit thing, or on one of my first hoards. I have some grade 100 seeds now, and just wasn't sure if I should destroy the plant and grow a Grade 100 plant, or leave this one as is. I'm not entirely sure how important grades are when it comes to things like fruits and such.

As a final note, thank you for your help! I've been having a lot of fun on this site so far :3 Pixpets is a great combination of petsite and text-adventure, and it lacks many of the flaws that usually steer me away from playing a petsite for any extended period of time. And lemme tell you, at this point, I have tried... way too many petsites. Haha. Thanks again and have a nice day!!

Hey there @SirLeonidus, welcome to the site!

Let me see if I can help a bit...

  • While there's no plant dex (that would be cool though), you can find out how long a plant will take to grow by going to the Wiki and searching for the exact seed name. For example, if I wanted to know how long a Voxel plant takes to grow, I'd search the wiki for "Voxel Fruit Seed" (without quotes). Each seed article shows a small diagram of growth stages and times.


  • At the moment, a pixpal's color only determines its appearance -- in contrast with pixpets, whose colors determine what items they'll find. Pixpals are mostly just accessories for now, although you can get pixcoins by interacting with other players' pixpals. However I do really like the idea of a pixpal's color influencing hoard finds, even if it's just a very small chance.


  • You can check the color of an item in your item inventory; it'll be to the right of the item. However, you've probably noticed that not all items have a color -- I mean, visually they do, but in terms of the game's color mechanic, some don't. This can mean a few things: 1) any pet can find the item on hoards, 2) it's a potion/evobar ingredient that won't affect the color of your potion, or 3) it's an Adventure item. Examples of items that you can expect to be colorless are plant products and seeds (non-pumpkin plants), attack scrolls, Adventure potions, evolution items, fertilizer bags, neutral plant pots (from neutral capules), evobars, Super Potions, and anything labeled as an "ingredient" in your inventory. Many of these things have different functions, so please let me know if you have questions about any of them!


  • You know, somehow I never noticed that the price filter only sorts by highest to lowest. That seems like it could be a misconfiguration. ๐Ÿ˜… Maybe @Cherche can have the coder look into that. In the meantime, sorry about the inconvenience!


  • As for which plants to grow, it looks like your starter pet will be level 50 soon and become eligible for evolution. I noticed you said you're growing evolution fruit, which is good. If you're not already, I'd recommend growing Evolvulus flowers for the Potion of Evolution and Luputus Tubers for the Wolfdog Evobar. As for the grade of your plants, those will affect the grades of cooking results (potions/evobars). While technically there's a minimum grade required for an evobar to work (about grade 30 in most cases), it's almost impossible to accidentally get a grade lower than 30 as a cooking result, so I wouldn't even worry about that -- at least for evobars. So your grade 46 evolution plant is fine. However, I will say it's nice to have grade 100, so that's up to you if you want to replant. For potions though (specifically potions used for hoards), the grade determines the effectiveness of the potion, so you want to aim for grade 100 ingredients, so your potions never fail.


Hopefully that answers a few things, but let me know if I missed anything or if you need further clarification on something, and I'll be happy to help! :)

@BK47 Thank you so much! This is super helpful :D

  • Ah, sweet, thank you. I'll take a closer look at the Wiki lol. I'd looked at it earlier, but I was looking at the fruits rather than the seeds, and totally missed the time. Thank you!


  • Ah okay! I didn't notice that the color changed the pixpals visually, honestly even without a practical use that makes them appealing to collect.


  • Yep, that makes sense, haha! I was looking at items that did not have a color. I haven't had much experience with the crafting/cooking side of things yet, and looking at ingredients like this Green mushroom I was expecting a color haha. Makes sense mechanically tho! I'll have to start digging into cooking haha.


  • All good haha! I thought I might have been missing something so I thought I'd ask haha


  • Thanks for the advice! I started growing some Luputus Tubers already. I've got an Evolvus Seed(Grade 41), so I'll probably plant it tonight after all my pixpets have returned from their hoards, just in case one of them brings back another Evolvus Seed that I can use to raise the grade on this one~ Definitely considering replanting my Evolution Seed, but I think I'll leave it for now and just see if I can't get a good stock of Evolution Fruit first.


  • Thank you so much! This was really helpful! :D
