Plant

Appearance
A green ficus-type plant grows out of a square-shaped terracotta pot.

Function
Placing a Plant increases hospital attractiveness in a small radius surrounding it.

The Plant's maintenance gauge will fall over time. When the gauge falls to 50%, the Plant will visibly wilt, and its attractiveness effect will almost disappear. If it is allowed to fall to 25%, the Plant will further wilt and the attractiveness effect will be gone. Below 10%, a negative attractiveness effect will be generated instead.

When placed in close proximity to a heat source, such as a radiator, a Plant's maintenance gauge will fall more quickly.

Maintenance
Janitors are tasked with watering plants, although also capable of doing so are other staff members with the Green Fingers trait. When the maintenance gauge reaches 50%, a janitor will be called automatically. Before this, the player may call a janitor to the plant manually by pressing the appropriate button.

Room
Plants can be placed in every room except Surgery, for reasons of sterility.

Staff
The following Staff is required to water the Plant:

Alternatively, any staff member with the Green Fingers trait will water plants in the room where they are working.
