I have about 8 plants near the end of their growing life span. I think I've been taking care of them well and their status is always "Vibrant". I get seeds but never any "Resources"... and I've read that resources only happen when the plant is "Healthy". I assumed that vibrant is better than healthy but maybe I'm wrong? Anyway I've given them extra strength and heal potions with no change in status. So is healthy better than vibrant and if so what do i need to do to change the status or is something else going on?

Vibrant is the best status, healthy means you need to apply a Greater Heal potion. The plant will produce resources at Healthy or Vibrant Status, IF the plant is one that does produce resources.

Only certain types of plants will produce resources

Bright Orange: Poppies, Bulrushes, Pampas Grass => Orange Petals
Bright Green: Snake Plant, Barrel Cactus => Green Thorns
Bright Red: Elephant Ear, Ponytail Palms, Century Plant => Red Leaves

Ahh... thats it, they aren't on your list. Thanks.

I think the site is uostratics but there are a few sites that give good gardening information. All possible crossings and colors all on a nice table. If you get any black mutants be sure to post. I grew thousands and only ever got white. Also I personally find resources outside of green thorns on ex useless. Personal opinion is all.
