All old affiliate vendors which sell either plantpets or gift vouchers will be shut down next Monday. The booster affiliate vendors will continue to operate with 10% commission. The booster prices in the main shop will be the same as those in the affiliate vendor. PlantPets Premium members can buy boosters with 10% discount from the PlantPets Main Store.

We opened the group PlantPets Premium for joining without invitation. The joining fee is L$100. This is because the number of invitations we had to send manually has become overwhelming. Avatars who are already members of PlantPets Premium don't have to do anything.

Yes, we have finally released the new hyacinths which have been in production since February. A lot of scripting work earlier this year has postponed the release of the hyacinths but they are finally here! The common ones are sold at the PlantPets Main Store with a discount for members of the group PlantPets Premium (20% off for the first week of the release, and 10% afterwards).

We just released a new PlantPet species Pachyphytum at the special summer price of L$495. The discount for PlantPets Premium members for the first week of the release is 20% and after that it will remain 10%. Next Sunday we will drop the premium discount for the Narcissus plantpets to 10% as well. Hurry up and get yours at 20% off while the offer lasts.

I'm very happy to announce that we have just released the five new Narcissus/Daffodil plantpets. The three new common ones are Ambergate, Romance and Poeticus. The two rare ones are colored in dark orange/purple which makes them fantasy plantpets as all real daffodils are either white or yellow. The two rare ones are called Fabio and Mateo. Mateo is the elite one!

I slightly improved the looks of our plantpets catalog. Now for each species you can see the number of plantpets in that group and when you click on a species name you can also see thumbnails for all plantpets in that group.

The other news is that tonight we are releasing 5 new narcissus/daffodil plantpets, 3 common, 1 rare and 1 rare elite! Stay tuned!

We just released the two planned Agapanthus plantpets: a dark violet one and a pink one. The violet one is sold in our main shop as common and the pink one is rare and elite.

Check out their catalog pages:
Agapanthus *Violet*
Agapanthus *Pink*

With the release of these plantpets we also promoted all common Calla Lily plantpets to rare! Why the Calla Lily? Because they have been the oldest common plantpets.

We just released a new elite rose called Independence Delight. The new rose will be sold at the main store and may also come as baby of other roses only until tomorrow 2 pm SLT. Then it will be removed from the main store and promoted from seasonal to limited!

Please note that we have planned a recycling system (to be released this Fall) which will allow turning already growing plantpets into transferable seeds. This way some limited plantpets will probably become available on the breeders market.

Now that the planned plantpet update has been released we will focus on releasing some new plantpets for the duration of this summer. During the last few months while I was scripting and building the new PlantPets website, plantpet builders have submitted two new species and re-textured some older plants which now we will release with higher priority.

By the end of August we plan to release:

- 2 new Agapanthus plantpets - a pink one and a violet one; one of them will be a rare elite plantpet.

- 5 new Narcissus plantpets - one of them will be a rare elite plantpet.

After beta-testing for a couple of days we have finally released the planned update for PlantPet 2.0s. Build 6 is an optional but highly recommended update. It serves the following purposes:

(1) Increases the reliability of your plantpets.
