Tips[ | ]

Since the bristle blossom needs light for growth, Shine Bugs could prove useful since Lamps, Ceiling Lights, and Sun Lamps create heat. After a long enough time, the heat from the lamps/ceiling lamps/sun lamps will overheat the plants without a cooling system.
Bristle Blossoms are one of two domesticated plants that make sense to grow for composting purposes, as it allows convertion of pure water into dirt.
