Maintenance
Unlike most plants, the Alien Plant requires no maintenance by a Janitor.

Unlock
This item is unlocked at Star Level 2in Chasm 24.

Room
The Alien Plant can be placed in every room except Surgery, for reasons of sterility.

Trivia
Strongly resembles Purple Tentacle from classic point-and-click games Maniac Mansion and Day of the Tentacle. It is for the best that the Alien Plant does not drink.
