Spider Plant

The Spider Plant was made available to all players on 24th June 2021, as part of the Summer 2021 Items.

Appearance
From a round terracotta pot with a ridged band at the top and another at the base can be seen numerous long green leaves sprouting, eight of which are dangling over the edge in a manner reminiscent of a spider's legs.

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

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

Maintenance
Janitors are tasked with watering Spider 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 Spider Plant manually by pressing the appropriate button.

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

Staff
The following Staff is required to water the Spider Plant:

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