=== Fertilizers ===
=== Fertilizers ===


* E-Z-Nutrient: Makes your plant mutate once every time it's ready for harvesting, and has no effect on the yield.
* '''[[Botanist#Fertilizer_types|E-Z-Nutrient]]:''' Makes your plant mutate once every time it's ready for harvesting, and has no effect on the yield.
* Left 4 Zed: Makes your plant mutate twice, but it will only produce one plant at most - if the plant's yield is 0, then nothing is produced! You'll have to use another fertilizer to harvest the normal yield of the plant.
* '''[[Botanist#Fertilizer_types|Left 4 Zed]]:''' Makes your plant mutate twice, but it will only produce one plant at most - if the plant's yield is 0, then nothing is produced! You'll have to use another fertilizer to harvest the normal yield of the plant.
* Robust Harvest: Makes your plant produce twice as much, and will never mutate it. Useful if you already have good stats, are using unstable mutagen and don't want random mutations to interfere, or simply don't want to bother with mutating at all.

* Nutriment: A fertilizer. You can get it from the [[Chef]], or by using your own plants. Heals the plant.
* '''Nutriment:''' A fertilizer. You can get it from the [[Chef]], or by using your own plants. Heals the plant.
* Ammonia: Also a fertilizer, same effect as nutriment. Get it from the [[Chemist]] or hack the Nutri-Vend to get this.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Ammonia|Ammonia]]:''' Also a fertilizer, same effect as nutriment. Get it from the [[Chemist]] or hack the Nutri-Vend to get this.
* Diethylamine: A very powerful fertilizer. Twice as effective, meaning 1 unit diethylamine adds 2 units nutrient. Heals the plant AND also kills pests. Get it the same way you get Ammonia.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Diethylamine|Diethylamine]]:''' A very powerful fertilizer. Twice as effective, meaning 1 unit diethylamine adds 2 units nutrient. Heals the plant AND also kills pests. Get it the same way you get Ammonia.


=== Pest Removal ===
=== Pest Removal ===


* Pest Killer: Kills pests, and adds a small amount of toxicity.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Pest_Killer|Pest Killer]]:''' Kills pests, and adds a small amount of toxicity.
* Weed Killer: Same as above, but for Weeds.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Weed_Killer|Weed Killer]]:''' Same as above, but for Weeds.


=== Stats ===
=== Stats ===


* [[Unstable Mutagen]]: Used to randomly mutate plants without harming them directly with toxins. Only use 1 or 2 units for optimized results.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable_Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]]:''' Used to randomly mutate plants without harming them directly with toxins. Only use 1 or 2 units for optimized results.
* Radium and Uranium: Same chance to mutate plants, but you need 10 units, they also damage the plant and add toxicity.
* '''Radium and Uranium:''' Same chance to mutate plants, but you need 10 units, they also damage the plant and add toxicity.
* Saltpetre: Ask the chemists for this, this increases potency and has a chance to increase yield as well.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Saltpetre|Saltpetre]]:''' Ask the chemists for this, this increases potency and has a chance to increase yield as well.


=== Plant Meds ===

* Charcoal: Makes your plant less toxic. You can get it by whining to anyone who works in [[Medbay]].
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Charcoal|Charcoal]]:''' Makes your plant less toxic. You can get it by whining to anyone who works in [[Medbay]].
* [[Cryoxadone]]: Heals your plant, via miracles. Also lowers toxicity. Get it from the [[Chemist]], or find a nice doctor to steal some from cryogenics.
* '''[[Cryoxadone]]:''' Heals your plant, via miracles. Also lowers toxicity. Get it from the [[Chemist]], or find a nice doctor to steal some from cryogenics.
* Holy water: If you can get the [[Chaplain]]'s attention and make him bless your water, it will heal your plant a bit.
* '''[[Guide_to_drinks#Holy_Water|Holy water]]:''' If you can get the [[Chaplain]]'s attention and make him bless your water, it will heal your plant a bit.
* [[Ash]]: Heals your plant and adds nutriment. Also kills weeds.
* '''[[Ash]]:''' Heals your plant and adds nutriment. Also kills weeds.
* Saltpetre: Heals your plant, increases potency and decreases production time.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Saltpetre|Saltpetre]]:''' Heals your plant, increases potency and decreases production time.

* Plant-B-Gone: Seriously damages the plant. Also lowers toxicity by magic and kills weeds.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Plant-B-Gone|Plant-B-Gone]]: Seriously damages the plant. Also lowers toxicity by magic and kills weeds.
* Toxins, Acids, Fluorine, Chlorine: Damage the plant.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry|Toxins, Acids, Fluorine, Chlorine]]:''' Damage the plant.
* Sugar: Makes pests and weeds grow stronger. Unless you [[Traitor|plan to use some mutagen to unleash giant spiders upon the station]], it's of no use.
* '''[[Guide_to_food#Sugar|Sugar]]:''' Makes pests and weeds grow stronger. Unless you [[Traitor|plan to use some mutagen to unleash giant spiders upon the station]], it's of no use.
* Phosphorus: Damages plant, drains water, kills weeds and, surprisingly, adds nutriment. If you manage to get your hands on a lot of it, you can use it to kill useless plants without hurting the next plant.
