Pixel Bonsai 🌸

💧 WATER — keeps the soil moist. Trees drink more on hot, dry days. Shortcut: tap the open air above or beside the tree.

🌫 MIST — leaves love humidity. Mist when the air is dry. Shortcut: tap the blossoms — the tap also offers the 🍃 trim tool for 5 seconds (click it, then choose which pads to pinch).

🧪 FEED — fertilizer speeds up growth. Overdo it and the roots burn. Shortcut: tap the pebbles in the pot.

🪵 BRANCH MENU — just tap any branch: a little ✂️/➰ menu appears right there.

✂️ PRUNE — click a branch (or its blossom) to cut it. Pruned spots bud back denser.

🍃 TRIM — pinch the blossom pads: trimmed pads regrow smaller and finer, ramification gets denser, and the opened crown catches light (a short growth boost). Costs a little vigor — a weak tree refuses.

➰ WIRE — click a branch to wire it, then drag to bend; when you let go, the tool puts itself away. While the wire is on, just grab the copper coil and drag to re-bend anytime — no tool needed (a tap on the coil opens the menu to unwire). The wire must stay on 1–3 months to set — thin shoots are quickest, thick branches slowest, and the growing season helps — and removing it is always up to you (tap the coil → UNWIRE). Remove it after setting and the shape is kept; remove it early and the branch slowly springs back (you'll be warned first).

🔮 FUTURE — preview your bonsai after 2 to 9 years of good care. Just a vision — nothing changes.

⏩ — time-lapse: skip one hour of growth.

〰️ ZEN SAND — the pot sits in a tray of sand. Drag across it to rake patterns (a tap presses a little dimple). Rain slowly smooths the sand.

🌀 ROTATE — grab and drag the pot itself (or use ←/→) to see every side. Dragging the background does nothing.

🖱 RIGHT-CLICK — puts any tool away, closes menus, cancels a drag (same as esc).

🔍 ZOOM — scroll, pinch, +/− buttons, or the +/- keys. While zoomed in, drag up/down (or ↑/↓) to move the view; zooming out re-centers.

🪦 IT CAN DIE — if HEALTH sits at rock bottom for about four days, the tree withers away for good: gray wood, bare branches, no more care. You'll be warned while it's dying — water and tend it to pull it back. A dead tree can only be replaced (⚙ → 🌱 NEW TREE).

▦ PIXEL DENSITY — the density button cycles 1× / 1.5× / 2× resolution (2× is the default): same scene, finer or chunkier pixels.

🧬 DNA LINK — ⚙ → COPY DNA LINK copies a short URL holding your tree's seed and its whole care history. Anyone opening it sees your exact bonsai, read-only — replayed from the history, not a screenshot.
