Planter Boxes are special gardening objects purchased from the Dryad for 1 SC each. Herbs can be planted in them just like Clay Pots: Herbs growing in Planter Boxes are harvested only by using a pickaxe or Staff of Regrowth on them. Nearby swinging tools will not accidentally break plants in a Planter Box.

Unlike Clay Pots, planter boxes are placed and act like platforms: They do not require support beneath them and they can be walked on, but pressing ▼ Down will let a player fall through them.

Although the various Planter Boxes have different seed names and appearances, the differences are purely cosmetic: Any herb seeds can grow in any Planter Box, and planting seeds in their respective Planter Boxes will not provide any extra benefit. Depending on the evil biome of the world, the Dryad will sell a Deathweed Planter Box showing either Corrupt grass or Crimson grass.

Tips

  • When using a Staff of Regrowth on a plant in its respective Planter Box, the plant will not be harvested unless it is blooming. It can be harvested at any time by using a pickaxe, but this will yield less drops.
  • Although Planter Boxes act like platforms, they cannot be hammered into stairs or placed diagonally using Smart Cursor. When placed using Smart Cursor, they will always be placed in a straight horizontal line. This may prove useful if placing normal platforms becomes difficult due to random bumps and dips.
  • Lava can pass through Planter Boxes without destroying them, making them useful in Wall of Flesh arenas in Expert Mode as Lava Slimes spawn lava when killed in Expert Mode.
  • (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) Torches can be placed directly on top of a Planter Box.
  • (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) Tombstones can land on Planter Boxes if there is a 2×2 size open space blocks wide. This will break any plants occupying that space.
  • ( versions) Skeletron Prime's bombs will explode on contact with regular platforms, but not on contact with Planter Boxes. Making an arena from Planter Boxes may prove advantageous.

History

  • Desktop 1.4.1.2: Skeletron Prime's bombs will now explode on contact with Planter Boxes.
