After a Berry is planted in loamy soil, a player can ignore it until it bears fruit, which will often yield more Berries than initially planted, as most Berry trees will bear more than one fruit at minimum. Truly effective care, however, requires that the player pay close attention to the growing times, watering it, and picking it when it bears fruit so as to reap the benefit. | |||

In general, plants must be watered at least once per growth period in order to get the maximum yield. When a plant is fully-grown, the player has an amount of time equal to the full growth time of the plant to pick the berry; otherwise the plant will return to its "sprouting" stage. This can be done up to 9 times (for a total of 10 plantings) before the plant is permanently lost. | |||

Each plant has a moisture rating that ranges from 0 to 100. When a berry is planted or watered, the moisture rating will be reset to 100. Every hour afterwards, the moisture rating is deducted by a value specific to the berry that is planted; this value is increased by 50% with the [[Growth Mulch]] and decreased by 50% with the [[Damp Mulch]]. Should the moisture rating be 0 when this occurs, however, the maximum yield of the plant is decreased by 1 (to a minimum of 2). Players are given a visual indication of the moisture rating of the plant, as the soil will lighten once the moisture rating falls below 50, and will appear to be dry once the moisture rating is 0. | Each plant has a moisture rating that ranges from 0 to 100.

As with Generation III, players have an amount of time equal to the full growth time of the Berry before a fully-grown plant returns to its "sprouting stage". This time is raised by 50% if the player uses [[Stable Mulch]]. The use of [[Gooey Mulch]] will allow a total of 14 resproutings (for a total of 15 plantings) instead of 9 before the plant is permanently lost. | |||
