Cactus

Appearance
A green cactus with vertical ridges, growing out of a square-shaped terracotta pot, has two upturned branches, one higher than the other. There are no visible spines.

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

The Cactus's maintenance gauge will fall over time. When the gauge falls to 50%, the Cactus will visibly wilt, and its attractiveness effect will almost disappear. If it is allowed to fall to 25%, the Cactus 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 Cactus's maintenance gauge will fall more quickly.

Maintenance
Janitors are tasked with watering Cactuss, 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 Cactus manually by pressing the appropriate button.

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

Staff
The following Staff is required to water the Cactus:

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