Lore
The Arrakeen Conservatory was built on the roof of the government mansion at Arrakeen. It is not yet shown in-game. Also, twenty Date Palms were planted in the Arrakeen governor's palace.
[TO-DO] Mention Lady Jessica's and Fenring's view on the Conservatory, add note about views of the Fremen and Lingar Bewt (water shipper).
Geographic distribution (Territory)
Hagga Basin Growth
A region's heat rating affect its biome. For example, plant fiber becomes scarce in regions distant from Basin south. Similarly, the amount of sunlight affects plant life. For example, at the bottom of the Hagga Rift, which sandstorms do not reach, there are few dew fields and plant fiber plants. However, there are trees that are as tall as the Player.
The local flora includes three consumable species.
 Plant Fiber is used to craft armor and bandages. |
 Agave plants and theirs seeds can be found exclusively in The O'odham. The region's lushness, diversity, and density of plant life is unmatched on the Arrakis. Agave is used to craft decorations. |
 The primrose plants thrive when planted in a mixture of dried stool, sand, and water. The plants gathers excess water through the dew cycle. These plants have red and have delicate petals. |
Testing Stations Growth
Additional plant varieties can be found within testing stations across the planet.
- Testing Station 2: Primrose plants
- Testing Station 10: Originally, flora, which can flourish in the iron rich soils of Vermillius Gap, was developed in this station: Welwithschia, Ephedra, and Aloidendron species, as well as a variety of species from across the Imperium.
- Testing Station 13
- Testing Station 76: Inkvine and Krimskel Fiber
- Testing Station 89
- Testing Station 163: Dew-absorbing cacti
- Testing Station 197
- Botany Resort (Deep Desert)
- Cactus Research Station (Deep Desert)
Overland Growth
- Testing Station 195: Fogwood plant
- Wind Pass: Heat-resistant tuber root, and palm trees inside the Mansion
- Water Shipper's Mansion: Dew field
- Arrakeen: Palm trees, likely date palms, in the courtyard leading to the Arrakeen Residency
Polar Sink
The Polar Sink features two distinct biomes: the tundra and the ice cap. [TODO mention limited plant life in biomes, and any palm trees grown inside Water Shipper outpost]
Other varieties
These plants are mentioned in-game. However, they are not shown yet.
- Poverty grass: Grows on practically nothing, tastes like nothing, and gathers a limited amount of water.
- Onion grass: Tastes like onions.
- Incense bush: Hardy, deep-rooted plants used by Fremen to make incense.
- Sand-verbenna and saguaro and burrowbush.
In-game
Equipment
Specialized equipment can be used to harvest excess water during the dew cycle.
 Siphons a portion of the Holtzman field that powers the collection of dew, for increased long term efficiency |
 Gathers more moisture from plants at the cost of a reduced gathering area. |
 Repel water and prevent any additional dew from escaping while harvesting, resulting in +10% Dew Reaper Yield. |
The Caladan Bonsai Solido is available as part of the Caladan Palace Building Set cosmetic pack.
