Genshin Impact’s housing system gives players a ton of options for decorating their own mystical realm. One of the first things you will be able to decorate your realm with is plant life. Plants come in various sizes and forms that can be sprinkled around the outdoor portion of your realm. Before you can have the forest of your dreams, though, you will need to know where to find plants in your realm.

That isn’t the only form of life you can have around your mansion though. There are also quite a few animals to choose from, including cats and dogs like the ones you see wandering around in Teyvat. The guide below goes over all the plants and animals that are currently in the game and where you can find them.

Where To Find Realm Plants

While you sadly can’t get resources from trees you place in your realm, you can make your very own forest. Everything from small bushes to bamboo can be placed around your mansion to help achieve a natural look.

Luckily, most plants can be picked up from your friendly teapot helper Tubby who sells them items under the furnishings section of the realm depot. Tubby sells the larger plants for 80 realm currency and small plants like bushes for 40 realm currency. He usually sells three of each plant and will refresh his stock once a day.

Most plants give 20 adeptal energy, but small plants in the shrub category will only give ten adeptal energy. Plant Load cost differs a bit between species, so every plant and its load cost is listed below:

If you do want animals, it may be best to place them inside your house and divide them into rooms.

Every animal can be placed inside except the Forest Boar and Azure Crane. You may want to lay out the rest of your realm before deciding where you want to add in animals and how many.
