How to Grow the Fulguria in Botany Manor

The Fulguria is a flower with very precise requirements to bloom in Botany Manor. But if you want a quick and easy solution, simply place a planted Fulguria in front of the camera and take a picture of it. But for more details, read on.

First, we’ll need to collect five clues.

  • Clue 1: Photographs. Find this on the side table beside the grand staircase.
  • Clue 2: Folklore Book. Find this clue just beyond the fireplace in the dining room.
  • Clue 3: Flash Lamp Manual. Find this clue in the drawing room on the table in front of the fireplace.
  • Clue 4: Letter from Farmer. Find this clue on the writing desk in the drawing room.
  • Clue 5: Flash Powder Bottle. Find this clue on the writing desk in the drawing room.

So, let’s kick this off. The moment you walk into the house, turn right and you’ll find yourself at the base of the grand staircase. Here, you’ll find the Fulguria seeds, along with our first clue: the photographs. Ultimately, our goal is to take a picture of the Fulguria to make it bloom.

And the rationale for this can be found by examining the folklore book in the dining room. This book will explicitly state that the flower is seen blooming during lightning storms. And if you examine the letter from the farmer in the drawing room, you’ll learn that a camera flash is not unlike a lightning flash.

To use the camera, we’ll need to create flash powder. Head into the apothecary to find a chemistry set. By examining the Flash Powder Bottle in the drawing room, we learn that flash powder can be made by using two portions of potassium per one portion of magnesium.

Select the green bottle on the far left labeled potassium, then interact with the empty beaker in front of you. Add potassium twice. Next, select the orange bottle labeled magnesium right beside the potassium bottle. Add it to the beaker. When you’re done, the bottom should be black and the top should be a foamy white, like the worst beer on earth.

Take your concoction to the drawing room and approach the camera. Use the flask on the white silver plate on the table beside the camera. Interact with this plate again and it will close. Now, you simply need to place the flower on the counter in front of the camera. When the Fulguria is in place, press the red button on the table. This will cause the Fulgeria to bloom!

It’s worth noting that there are two secret achievements you can get at this camera. The first requires you to create the wrong flash powder, then use it. The second requires you to take a picture of a flower that isn’t the Fulgeria.

But the Fulgeria is far from the last flower we’ll need to see bloom. Here’s how to grow the mysterious Ash Plume and the Pixie Tears.
