Herblore Habitat/Farming
Farming in Herblore Habitat is the most important skill to the activity. Without the minimum requirement of level 54, the flowers which attract the most basic Jadinko cannot be planted, thus there will be nothing to hunt, and therefore no ingredients to make potions.
Habitat Farming
Inside the middle camp of Herblore Habitat, there are several farming patches:
- A vine flower patch, for growing vine flowers
- A vine bush patch, for growing vine bushes
- A vine herb patch, for growing vine herbs (a second vine herb patch is located in the east camp)
- A fruit tree patch, for growing all normal fruit trees
Tending for the patches is done in the normal way:
- Remove weeds with a rake
- Optionally add compost, supercompost or cast Fertile Soil
- Plant seeds with a seed dibber
- Water plants (only vine flowers and fruit tree saplings need to be watered, as usual)
- Harvest plants (herbs require a spade)
- Remove plants (chop down fruit trees with a hatchet and remove the stump with a spade or remove bushes with a spade)
Note: Like other patches, weeds will not grow back if Fairy Tale III - Orks Rift has been completed and the weed-free patch ability has been enabled.
Tools can be purchased from Papa Mambo similar to farm shops near allotment patches. Herblore Habitat has a tool leprechaun, who gives access to the same tool store as all other leprechauns.
The scroll of life from dungeoneering works with all of the farming patches in Herblore Habitat.
The only notable difference between normal farming and Herblore Habitat farming is that vine plants grow a lot faster than normal. Another difference is that the Herblore Habitat leprechaun can also store 30 of each of the following juju potions:
- Juju hunter potion
- Juju farming potion
- Scentless potion
- Saradomin's blessing
- Guthix's gift
- Zamorak's favour
Vine Flowers
The Vine flower patch is the most basic patch for attracting jadinkos. Only Vine flowers can be planted in this patch. Flower seeds are easy to obtain because they are the only seed that can be purchased. Players can buy all three colours from Papa Mambo for 50gp each.

Vine herb patches
There are two vine herb patches at the habitat: one is in the middle camp, while the other can be found in the east camp. It is often worthwhile to use the Witchdoctor mask teleport in order to get back to the middle camp from the second patch. Only Vine herbs may be grown here. The seeds can be obtained from hunting the jadinkos.
