Planter Boxes are special gardening objects purchased from the Dryad for 1 each. Herbs can be planted in them just like Clay Pots: Herbs growing in planter boxes are harvested only by using a pickaxe or Staff of Regrowth/Axe of Regrowth on them. Nearby swinging tools will not accidentally break plants in a Planter Box.

Unlike Clay Pots, planter boxes are placed and act like platforms: They do not require support beneath them and they can be walked on, but pressing ▼ Down will let a player fall through them.

If no herbs are planted in the planter boxes they will begin to grow flowers. These flowers have a small chance to drop a worm or grasshopper when broken.^Verify

Although the various planter boxes have different seed names and appearances, the differences are purely cosmetic: Any herb seeds can grow in any planter box. Depending on the evil biome of the world, the Dryad will sell a Deathweed Planter Box showing either Corrupt grass or Crimson grass.

Tips[]

• When using a Staff of Regrowth on a plant in its respective planter box, the plant will not be harvested unless it has reached its third and final stage of regrowth. If it is in its second stage, it can be harvested instead by using a pickaxe, but this will yield no seeds. The Axe of Regrowth will function like a pickaxe with the Regrowth ability, damaging/destroying plants unless fully matured.
• Although Planter Boxes act like platforms, they cannot be hammered into stairs or placed diagonally using Smart Cursor. When placed using Smart Cursor, they will always be placed in a straight horizontal line. This may prove useful if placing normal platforms becomes difficult due to random bumps and dips.
• Lava can pass through Planter Boxes without destroying them, making them useful in Wall of Flesh arenas in Expert Mode as Lava Slimes spawn lava when killed in Expert Mode.
• Torches can be placed directly on top of a Planter Box.
• Tombstones can land on Planter Boxes if there is an open space 2 blocks wide. This will break any plants occupying that space.
