I wouldn't recommend using mutation unless you have also upgrade your soil. You may end up with a plant that won't survive at all.

There are other common seeds that will help you get to a Fourpetal Maple through the store, including getting that plant itself.

Do you have other common seeds saved?

If you don't want for the next day's seeds supply, you may want to consider starting a new game in another slot and being more careful about saving your common seeds.

Oh...I have the Isola soil *and* Isola water. But mutation...I've never messed with that. I was hoping for a solution to get the citrus ball cactus (and eventually the fourpetal maple) the old-fashioned way by simple breeding.

common seeds I have:

citrus maranta
jalapa maranta
bluestar ball cactus
jalapa maple
fabled maranta
citrus astera
fragrant astera
jalapa astera
citrus reptans
fourpetal reptans
bluestar reptans
rosaceae grass

You won't be able to breed a Citrus Ball Cactus from the plants that you have. The only way to get one, without using Tier 4 plants, is to purchase it or mutate an existing plant to get it.

well, those are the common seeds I have...by tier four plants do you mean the more expensive ones? (I have rosacea fern, venus gladiatus, arthurium ananas, mystic bamboo, rosacea fanleaf, aureus ananas, nox ananas...) *didn't think naming every seed/plant she had would be polite ^^; *

Tier 4 plants are special, rare plants that can't be bred from the seeds you start the game with. None of the Magic Plants are Tier 4. The only way to get Tier 4 plants is to buy the extinct seeds, mutate lower-tier plants, or breed them from other Tier 4s.

It would be easier to breed directly for the Fourpetal Maple without trying first for the Citrus Ball Cactus (if you had it, it would help, but it isn't necessary.)

If you had a Citrus Maple, it would also be a an easy one generation cross.

However, from Citrus Maranta & Bluestar Ball Cactus (the other plants you listed won't help in this case, sorry):

1. Citrus Maranta x Bluestar Ball Cactus = Fragrant Maple
2. Frgrant Maranta x Bluestar Ball Cactus = Viola Pipe Cactus
3. Viola Pipe Cactus x Bluestar Ball Cactus = Rosaceae Pear Cactus
4. Rosaceae Pear Cactus x Viola Pipe Cactus = Viola Pear Cactus
5. Viola Pear Cactus x Citrus Maranta = Fourpetal Maple

People who visit the nursery want purple roses. How the heck do you get purple ones? I've crossed everything I can think of, but all I get are pink ones and blue ones. Any help would be greatly appreciated. What a great game! I've been playing over 600 hours and still only have a little over 300 of the plants! I may have to play forever to get them all! THANKS LDW!
