Waterleaf is a type of herb which appears as a very small, aqua-colored sprout, and can be cut with virtually any weapon or tool. It will spawn naturally on Sand and Pearlsand Blocks, but will never spawn in the Ocean biome.^[1] On Desktop, Console, and Mobile, it can also be planted in Clay Pots and Planter Boxes using Waterleaf Seeds, which drop from blooming Waterleaf.

Waterleaf will only bloom once fully grown and (Desktop, Console, Old-gen console and Mobile versions) when it is raining or snowing. While blooming, its appearance will change, becoming larger and speckled with aqua leaves. A blooming Waterleaf will also emit little globes of water. Note that it does not need to be raining or snowing directly on the plant in order for it to bloom: rain or snow simply needs to occur. It is important to remember that it will only bear seeds while blooming.

On the Nintendo 3DS version, Waterleaf plants are required to be at least partially submerged in water before they bloom and drop seeds. It does not matter if it is raining or not.

(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) Both Waterleaf and their respective seeds have a chance to be obtained from the Herb Bag.

Trivia

The Waterleaf takes the longest to bloom out of all the herbs.
It bears no resemblance whatsoever to the real-life leaf vegetable Talinum fruticosum, which is also often called waterleaf.
